Existing international print scholarship is shaped by the dominant master-printer framework. This has made it difficult to judge Melbourne’s printmakers against their international peers. Prints made by Melbourne artists looked nothing like these large, professionally crafted images. Characteristically small and handwrought, prints made in Melbourne were largely self-printed by the artists with little technical assistance. To critique Melbourne printmaking on its strengths (and not the standards of distant art-centres), this thesis posits new critical frameworks that uncover a submerged tradition of amateur and communal self-printing. With a ‘group biography’ structure (examining artists as disparate as Harry Rosengrave, Barbara Brash, Tay Kok Wee, Bea Maddock, Ian Burn, Robert Rooney and Jas H. Duke), this investigation makes an original contribution to local and transnational scholarship on the popularity and influence of printmaking after WWII.

A study of the morphology of the pollen of native, naturalized, and cultivated representatives of Zingiberales growing in the Río de La Plata wetlands, and Northeastern subtropical rainforests of the Argentina, was performed with light and electron microscopy. The analyzed species were C. glauca and C. indica (Cannaceae), Heliconia psittacorum, H. brasiliensis and H. rostrata (Heliconiaceae), Thalia geniculata and Maranta leuconeura (Marantaceae), Musa acuminata × balbisiana y M. × paradisiaca (Musaceae), Strelitzia nicolai and S. reginae (Strelitziaceae), Alpinia zerumbet, Hedychium coronarium and H. gardnerianum (Zingiberaceae). Spheroid, oblate, apolar and heteropolar, inaperturate grains were found, with thin exines, and thicker, two-layered intines. The ornamentation types were echinate, typical and micro-echinate, found in Cannaceae, Heliconiaceae, and some Zingiberaceae, muriforme types (rugate, rugulate, and areolate), and smooth or psilate exine surface ornamentations, present in Musaceae, Strelitziaceae and Zingiberaceae. Thalia geniculata smooth grains, Musaceae rugate grains, and Strelitziaceae areolate grains are described here by the first time. Other traits were analyzed, such as the presence of elastine threads and pollenkitt. All these characters contribute to an update of the knowledge of these selected taxa, scarcely known from a palynological point of view., Se presenta un estudio, efectuado con microscopía de luz y electrónica de barrido, de la morfología del polen de representantes nativos, naturalizados y cultivados de Zingiberales, que crecen en humedales rioplatenses y selvas subtropicales del NE de la Argentina. Las especies analizadas son Canna glauca y C. índica (Cannaceae), Heliconia psittacorum, H. brasiliensis y H. rostrata (Heliconiaceae), Thalia geniculata y Maranta leuconeura (Marantaceae), Musa acuminata × balbisiana y M. × paradisiaca (Musaceae), Strelitzia nicolai y S. reginae (Strelitziaceae), Alpinia zerumbet, Hedychium coronarium y H. gardnerianum (Zingiberaceae). Se encontraron granos esferoidales, oblados, apolares y heteropolares, inaberturados, con exinas delgadas e intinas gruesas con dos capas. Los tipos de ornamentación hallados son: equinados, típicos o micro-equinados, de Cannaceae, Heliconiaceae y algunas Zingiberaceae, muriformes, típicos o micro-muriformes (rugados, rugulados, areolados) y lisos, presentes en Musaceae, Strelitziaceae y Zingiberaceae. El polen de Thalia geniculata, los granos rugados de Musaceae y los areolados de Strelitziaceae se describen por primera vez, y se analizan rasgos, como las hebras de elastina y el polenkit, que aportan caracteres actualizados para el conocimiento de los taxones seleccionados, poco difundidos desde el punto de vista palinológico.

Until 1973, when Van Soest revised Thalia Blumenbach, 1798, this genus comprised only two species: Thalia democratica (Forsskål, 1775) and Thalia longicauda (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824). The former showed great variability, which led Van Soest to distinguish five species: T. rhomboides, T. cicar, T. democratica, T. orientalis, and T. sibogae. Some authors have ignored this revision considering the observed differences of infraspecific level. In the present work new material is studied analysing variables not previously considered, such as the development of blastogenic stolons in the solitary zooids and the location of the tunnel opening through which the bud blocks are liberated. These characters previously permitted a separation of closely related species in the genus Ihlea. The results show that stolon features, even though they permit a separation of solitary zooids of Thalia longicauda, do not discriminate all species of the “T. democratica group” since they are only useful in distinguishing T. democratica from T. sibogae. Other variables, mainly qualitative, do permit differentiation. The sympatric distribution of these taxa supports Van Soest’s hypothesis as well.
