Rhamnaceae Study Group

CLOSED

The Rhamnaceae is a cosmopolitan family of dicotyledonous plants represented in Australia, America, Europe, Asia and Africa. The family is among the 20 largest families of flowering plants in Australia.

The Rhamnaceae Study Group was founded in 1993 with the following aims:

  • to collect, propagate and grow as many of the species as possible
  • to establish a living collection
  • to maintain a herbarium collection
  • to disseminate information on the propagation and cultivation of Rhamnaceae.

The main focus of the Study Group was on species of Pomaderris, Cryptandra and Spyridium.

Although this Study Group is now closed, regular informative newsletters were produced and are available for download.

Website

Development of a Rhamnaceae Study Group website was undertaken by the Society’s Canberra Region in about 2006 (see Newsletter No. 15 for details). As far as is known, this project was never finished but some information (and photographs) was placed online.

Although the website no longer exists, it is archived on The Internet Archive as it existed in 2006.
