key is mainly the work of Greg Jordan and David Tng, School
of Plant Science, University of Tasmania. A teaching
initiative by the Faculty of Science, Engineering and
Technology, University of Tasmania supported the development
of the first version of this key, with Ruth Osborne, Simon
James, Anna McEldowney providing considerable assistance.

Tasmania) designed the original layout.
Many others also contributed, including Sheldon Navie
(Weed CRC, Queensland), Paddy Dalton and Robert Wiltshire
(School of Plant Science), Matthew Baker and Marco Duretto
(Tasmanian Herbarium) as well as numerous members of the
public and undergraduates in Plant Science including Dan
Post, Brendan Carcella, Clive Barker, David Lawrence, Roy
Skabo, Feli Hopf, Miguel de Salas, Richard White, Anna
Povey, John Gibson, Marg Beal, Dave Albrecht and Kerry
