| This 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. Julia Dineen (Julia Dineen
Graphic Design, Cremorne, Tasmania) designed the original layout.
Many others 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.
