Profile

Terry Macfarlane is a Senior Research Scientist at the Western Australian Herbarium. He researches the taxonomy of the Western Australian flora, describing new species, revising the taxonomy of particular plant groups to improve knowledge of the species, their characteristics, distribution, relationships, conservation status and providing identification keys. Fieldwork is frequently necessary to resolve problems of interpretation and to fill information gaps. Terry is involved in a number of Australian and overseas collaborations on several plant groups relevant to Western Australia in order to place our plants in their world context, and to provide access to a broad range of expertise. Current collaborations include researchers in  Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne in Australia, and overseas colleagues in Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Russia Spain and United Kingdom.

Plant groups researched by Terry include Poaceae (grasses – especially Neurachne), Colchicaceae (Wurmbea), Asparagaceae (Thysanotus, Arthropodium, Tricoryne, Lomandra), Hydatellaceae (Trithuria) and Potamogetonaceae (Lepilaena). These projects range from describing individual new species to investigating higher level relationships and the connection of these relationships with important biological properties such as the evolution of photosynthetic pathways in the Neurachne group of grasses.

Other roles Terry has include involvement with flora conservation teams, associate editor of the Herbarium’s scientific journal Nuytsia and membership of a team that has prepared a national list of plants in Australia (Australian Plant Census). He has a long-standing interest in information systems for plants as a means of making flora information available to the community and scientists, and he was a member of the team which developed the Western Australian flora Website FloraBase.
