RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
A study of the anatomy and morphology of four Tasmanian cushion plant species showed that anatomical convergence was not as well developed as the obvious morphological convergence. The lack of well-developed xeromorphic features in the Tasmanian species is not consistent with the hypothesis previously suggested that the cushion form evolved primarily as a strategy to maintain a positive water balance.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
