Dear
David & COGites
The
edition I have is a 2007 edition. I would think it is the latest edition. I was
also interested in the Allocasuarina particularly Allocasuarina verticillata
previously called Casuarina stricta. Some pictures to our chatline confirmed my
ID. I now have approx. 60 plants replanted from local seed on our place.
Following the advice of local farmers I have placed serious guards around them
as everything likes to eat them.
Cheers
Julienne

Dear
Julienne
I
have that book. I thought that may have been the one you were speaking
of. It certainly has good diagrams of the structure of the Casuarina
spp.
Interestingly,
my book is a 1990 reprint of the first (1983) edition with amendments and
additions, but it does not have genus Allocasuarina. The 1991 edition of
Prior and Banks refers to the ?relatively new? genus of Allocasuarina.
Wrigley and Fagg say that the genera were separated in
1982.
Cheers
David
