1 BACKGROUND AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Over two weekends in 2008, volunteers from the Wildflower Society of Western Australia (WSWA) Bushland Plant Survey Group visited the Bush Heritage Australia property Charles Darwin Reserve (previously known as White Wells Station). The purpose of the visits was to survey several areas of the Reserve, in order to provide a species list and field herbarium to complement existing floristic and vegetation information for the Reserve. Three previsits conducted during the year prior to the main surveys also contributed to the results. It was decided to conduct two surveys, one early in spring and one later, so that plants and habitats that flower at different times would be sampled. For example, granite areas flower early but are finished by the time the sandplain comes into flower. The first main survey was held on 22nd -25th August 2008, and was hosted by locum managers Len and Valerie Warren. Twenty-six participants established twenty-one 20 m x 20 m quadrats (A1-A6, B1-B5, C1-C5, D1-D5; see Map 1), both north and south of the homestead. Data was recorded by groups of volunteers led by a botanist or experienced volunteer. The second survey was held on 10th – 13th October 2008, and was hosted by managers Kurt and Andrea Tschirner. Twenty-three participants established a further thirteen 20 m x 20 m quadrats (W1-W4, X1-X5, Y1-Y4; see Map 2), revisited some of the August quadrats and made several opportunistic collections, including around the homestead. The purpose of the revisits was to collect further material of any plants that were not yet in flower in August (eg. grasses). Opportunistic collections were conducted to collect good flowering material for herbarium specimens, especially of plants that might not have been recorded in quadrats. The season for the surveys was good with sufficient rains for spectacular shows of flowers (including annuals) in most areas, especially the granites. Thank you to the recent managers of the Reserve, Kurt and Andrea Tschirner (and Geri and baby Maia) without whose whole-hearted support the surveys could not have taken place. The help and enthusiasm of the Wildflower Society volunteers and botanists and Friends of Charles Darwin Reserve were vital and they all gave generously of their time (over 4,500 volunteer hours for the surveys and post-survey processing). Participants in the previsits and surveys were Logan Anderson, Anne and Alan Bellman, Arthur Blundell, Kate Brown, Ross Cockerell, Geoff Corrick, Margaret Corrick, Hazel Dempster, Janet and Barry Dufall, Helen and Keld Frederiksen, Elizabeth George, Ann Gunness, Rosemary Harper, Bronwen and Greg Keighery, Margaret and Jeff Langley, Margaret Larke, Kristina, Arie, Aidan and Ella Lemson, Vanda Longman, Nina McLaren, Diane and Gary Matthews, Brian Moyle, Dorothy Perret, Phylis Robertson, Marta Rossignoli, Tracy Scott, Nina Stick, Alice Stubber, Lorraine Todd, Margaret Tyrka, Len and Valerie Warren, Pat Wenham and Mary Yates. The work at the Western Australian Herbarium, including plant sorting and identification, compiling the field herbarium, entering data on Max, compiling species lists and mounting, labelling and scanning the specimens, was carried out by Anne Bellman, Arthur Blundell, Geoff Corrick, Hazel Dempster, Elizabeth George, Ann Gunness, Rosemary Harper, Cyril Kelly, Georgina Lambert, Margaret Larke, Kristina Lemson, Melissa and Vanda Longman, Brian Moyle, Sue Pedrick, Dorothy Perret, Phylis Robertson, Alice Stubber, Pat Wenham and Mary Yates. Plant identifications were verified at the Western Australian Herbarium with assistance from the following specialists: Russell Barrett, Rob Davis, Malcolm French, Alex George, Elizabeth George, Mike Hislop, Bruce Maslin, Barbara Rye, Kelly Shepherd, Malcolm Trudgen, Carol Wilkins and Paul Wilson. The project relied on weekly sessions at the Western Australian Herbarium, using its facilities. The support of the Herbarium is gratefully acknowledged. A big thank you to all the Herbarium staff who have been involved in various ways in our project.

2 FLORA
A total of 554 taxa (species, subspecies and varieties), 527 native and 27 weeds were recorded from 71 plant families (Appendix 1) during the surveys. For more information about the project and its results, see the full report (Wildflower Society of Western Australia 2010). 3 THE FIELD HERBARIUM
A field herbarium is useful for a number of reasons: • it allows easy identification of many local species • it can encourage people to learn more about their local bushland • it is a lasting record of the plant species found in the survey.
3.1 Organisation of the Field Herbarium
The Charles Darwin Reserve field herbarium specimens have been pressed, dried and identified, mounted on stiff A4 cards, labelled, inserted in plastic sleeves and stored in 24 A4 lever arch files. The specimens have been arranged alphabetically in plant families and within families alphabetically by genera. Grasses, rushes, sedges and sedge-like herbs have been grouped together in one file; they have similar life forms and it was considered this would make identification easier for users. The weeds have been grouped alone in another file as it is considered important to any bushland management to be able to distinguish between a native plant and an introduced plant. Because of high visitation to Charles Darwin Reserve it was felt a reference set of species growing close to the homestead would be a useful resource for the visitor’s quarters. So a collection of specimens from the area around the homestead was made. A separate little field herbarium with colour scans of specimens has been made as a useful and durable ready reference for visitors. Each specimen in the field herbarium has been scanned and is available electronically in the accompanying disc. Where there was insufficient dried material, a scan of the specimen which was lodged with the WA Herbarium is included in the field herbarium. 3.2 Vouchered Specimens
Four hundred and eighty-nine specimens from the WSWA’s survey of Charles Darwin Reserve have been labelled, vouchered, mounted and lodged with the WA Herbarium and appear on FloraBase (Western Australian Herbarium 1998-), the Western Australian Herbarium’s database of flora specimens. The barcode on the label identifies the particular species and will enable name changes and re-identifications to be tracked in the future. The duplicates of these vouchers are what comprise the majority of the specimens in the Charles Darwin Reserve field herbarium. Some field herbarium duplicates carry different locality labels to the herbarium voucher; n these cases there was insufficient material from one quadrat for a voucher and its duplicate. The field herbarium specimen will match the taxon which has been barcoded. 3.3 Use of the Field Herbarium
A great deal of volunteer time and effort has gone into producing the field herbarium and the landholders and visitors are encouraged to make maximum use of it and to develop it further by adding new species as they are discovered. As this survey was conducted over only one season and within a limited area of the homestead, only a portion of the species present on the site will be represented. Making a photocopy of your herbarium or printing from the scans is useful. A bound, good quality photocopy or printout is useful for identification, is easy to carry in the field and, if damaged, can be replaced. You can also use it to record useful notes such as key features for identification, flowering time in the local area and when seed is ready for collection.

3.4 How to Care for Your Herbarium
Herbaria need to be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (which fades the specimens). The plastic storage cartons provide some protection and help to keep insects away. Moth Balls (Naphthalene) placed in the box help to keep the specimens free of insect damage but they need to be regularly checked for any such damage. The two insects most likely to cause a problem are the Museum Beetle and Book-lice. If damaged specimens are found the pest may still be on them. Remove any obvious insects or damaged plant material. In some cases the whole specimen may need to be thrown away and replaced at a later date. A preventative treatment programme is best to ensure pest problems do not become serious. Once every six months the herbarium should be treated to kill pests. The most effective way to do this, without poisonous chemicals, is to freeze the whole herbarium for a week at -20°C or lower (Patrick 1997). It is best to place the herbarium in a freezer that can be left unopened for the whole week so that the temperature doesn’t fluctuate. Treatment will be less effective if the freezer is opened. Keep a chart showing when the herbarium should be treated and a record of when it occurred and how. When adding new material to your herbarium ensure it is fully dry before mounting it on card and adding it to the files as any dampness will lead to mould problems. The WA Herbarium has produced an inexpensive guide to preparing a herbarium called “How to Create a Local Herbarium” by Sue Patrick (1997). It is well worth obtaining. 4 REFERENCES
