Overview
In this unit, you will learn about Australian plants, their taxonomy, distribution and economic uses. Emphasis will be placed on plant identification, so you can apply this knowledge in vegetation surveys, biodiversity conservation, and selection of plant species for economic development. The specimen collection as well as practical sessions and field visits that are scheduled during compulsory residential school will enable you to gain practical skills in plant identification and vegetation surveys.

Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 1 - 2025
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Class Timetable
Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE
The unit is content heavy and students found time management difficult when also completing other units.
Content should be reduced, refined and updated with new lecture material recorded. Some residential school activities could be removed or updated, alternatively consider an additional day for residential school.
Feedback from SUTE
The Moodle site could be refined so that information is easier to find.
The Moodle site should be reviewed and refined.
Feedback from SUTE
Assessment tasks were overall well received but the size, and associated cost of the plant collection assessment was considered prohibitive by some students. Comments were also received on the size and extent of the final quiz.
All assessment items should be reviewed. Digital options for the plant collection assessment should be considered rather than the extensive physical collection.
Feedback from SUTE
Staff passion within the unit was contagious and supported student learning and outcomes.
Staff should continue to support students.
- Define selected botanical terms
- Collect and curate native plant specimens, and use taxonomic keys to identify native plants
- Examine characteristic features of Australian flora, and discuss the uses of native plants in conservation, vegetation management and economic development
- Describe how native flora respond to environmental disturbances, and explain the ways by which this knowledge can be applied in revegetation and restoration programs
- Undertake vegetation surveys, interpret data and explain the use of GIS and remote sensing techniques in vegetation management.

Specimen Collection (Assessment 2, Task 2)
1. Start collecting specimens. Continue this activity throughout the Term. Please see the Moodle site for further details.
2. Familiarize yourself with the steps involved in collecting, curating, identifying and dispatching the specimens.
3. Access the Moodle forums each week beginning this week, to learn more from each other.
4. Watch all 10 parts of the YouTube videos (https://tinyurl.com/herbarium-techniques) to get to know 'how to collect specimens' and 'where to go to collect specimens'.
5. Repeat watching these videos until you are confident of implementing these practices in curating your specimens.
6. Review your Life Science Laboratory theory/practical notes that show names of plant parts and floral diagrams.
7. Practice the art and science of drawing floral diagrams.
Please Note: You will have the opportunity to learn more about curating and ID skills during residential school.

Specimen Collection
Practice the art and science of collecting and identifying native plants.
1. Choose the right part (s) of the plant for taxonomic purposes.
2. Cut the specimen to right size.
3. Place the specimen in a plant press as demonstrated in YouTube videos.
4. Collect some spare flowers for dissection.
5. Be ready to dissect the spare flowers of the specimen that you have just pressed.
6. Examine different parts of the flowers before drawing the floral diagram.
7. Draw the floral diagram. Consult your text book.
Hint: Commence your dissection using a larger flower such as an hibiscus flower. Large flowers are easier to dissect, and the larger size flower makes it easier to see different parts of the flower without needing to use a microscope or a hand lens.
You will get the opportunity to work on smaller flowers during residential school.
Please collect specimens of Australian origin only, as our key does not include taxonomic information for non-native plants.
Aim to collect and curate at least ONE plant specimen this week.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
