# Richea × curtisiae

Richea × curtisiae, commonly known as Curtis's candle heath, is a hybrid species of plant endemic to Tasmania. It belongs to the genus Richea, which forms part of the Ericaceae (formerly Epacridaceae) family, commonly known as the heath family.
Richea × curtisiae is a hybrid species between Richea scoparia and Richea pandanifolia.

## Description

Richea × curtisiae has the form of an intermediate between the smaller shrub Richea scoparia and the larger erect shrub/tree Richea pandanifolia. As such, Richea × curtisiae forms a small shrub of between 30 and 150 cm (12 and 59 in) tall with an erect habit. Richea × curtisiae has few branches, with persistent leaves. These leaves are tapering and strap-like, which vary in length from 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10 in). The leaf margins are cartilaginous and are finely serrated and cutting, and the branch tips contains a dense rosette of leaves. As the leaves age they become brown, and the leaves on the lower two-thirds of the stem are dead and decaying.
The inflorescence of Richea × curtisiae occurs as a terminal panicle, a branched inflorescence, which are between 10 and 20 cm (4 and 8 in) long. The peduncles, the stalks of the flowers, are 5 to 10 in number, and are short, between 2 and 4 mm (1⁄16 and 3⁄16 in). The flowers are pink to orange in colour.
Richea × custisiae has an appearance similar to that of Richea alpina, but it is shorter, unbranched, and broadly spreading, and is restricted to alpine areas in the deep south-west.

## Habitat and distribution

Richea × custisiae is endemic to Tasmania and is relatively common in occurrence where both Richea scoparia and Richea pandanifolia occur, with heightened occurrence after a disturbance, like that of fire or clearing.
Richea × curtisiae occurs in alpine areas of the West and Central mountains of Tasmania. It can be found in sub-alpine woodlands, and sub-alpine heath communities. Richea × curtisiae also often occurs with Dracophyllum milliganii.

## Taxonomy

Richea × curtisiae was first recognised in 1971 by Alan Maurice Gray, and was named after Winifred Curtis, a matriarch in Tasmanian botany.
# Richea continentis

Richea continentis, the candle heath, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae that is endemic to Australia. It is multi-branched shrub growing to between 0.5 and 1 metre (1 ft 8 in and 3 ft 3 in) high. Leaves are 1 to 4 cm (0.39 to 1.57 in) long. The inflorescence is 30 cm (12 in) long with white to greenish-white flowers The species was first formally described by English botanist Brian Laurence Burtt in 1942 in Botanical Magazine, based on the type specimen collected at Mount Hotham by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller. It occurs near watercourses or bogs in alpine or sub-alpine wet heathland in Victoria and New South Wales.

# Rifle Street drill hall, Oldham

The Rifle Street drill hall is a former military installation in Oldham.

## History

The building was designed as the headquarters of the 6th Volunteer Battalion, The Manchester Regiment and completed in 1897. This unit evolved to become the 10th Battalion, The Manchester Regiment in 1908. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to Gallipoli and, ultimately, to the Western Front. The battalion converted to form the 41st (Oldham) Battalion, Royal Tank Regiment just before the Second World War and evolved to become the 40th/41st Royal Tank Regiment in 1956. After the cut-backs in 1967, the presence at the drill hall was reduced to a single squadron, A Squadron, The Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry (Royal Tank Regiment). After the squadron moved out of the drill hall in the mid-1990s, it continued to be used for industrial purposes until it was badly damaged in a serious fire in April 2011.
