Narran Lake
The Narran Wetlands, also known as the Narran Lakes, contained within the Narran Lake Nature Reserve, comprise a series of protected ephemeral lakes and swamps fed by the Narran River in the north-west of New South Wales, Australia. The reserve is located approximately east of . An area contained within the reserve is protected under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance. It is internationally important because of its rarity and naturalness; its significance for waterbirds, supporting large colonial waterbird breeding events of ibis, spoonbills and cormorants; and its importance as a drought refuge for waterbirds. The vegetation and the waterbird colonies are at risk from reduced flooding caused by upstream water abstraction for agriculture in Queensland. Description The wetland complex formed by the Narran floodplain is the terminal system of the Narran River, the easternmost distributary of the Balonne River, and lies between the towns of Brewarri ...

In Adolf Engler's treatise ''Das Pflanzenreich'' ("The Plant Kingdom"), he was author of the chapter on Lythraceae. He also made important contributions involving Lythraceae to Engler and Karl Prantl's '' Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien'' ("The Natural Plant Families"), as well as to Karl Friedrich Philipp von Martius' '' Flora Brasiliensis''. Another noted written effort by Koehne was the 1893 ''Deutsche Dendrologie'' ("German Dendrology"). Two plant genera have been named in his honor; '' Koehneola'' from Cuba, in the (family Asteraceae) was named in 1901, and '' Koehneria'' from Madagascar, in the family Lythraceae in 1987.
