As in previous years, we remain committed to growing plants appropriate to California's mediterranean climate. These plants are sustainable in California gardens with little supplemental irrigation once established. To this end, we continue to add to our succulent plant offering, as well as increase our line of California natives and plants from other mediterranean climates. This year we have added one hundred forty- eight new plants that are listed at the back of this catalog and accompanied within the catalog body with a star ( ). Included at the back of this catalog are updated lists of the plants that we currently grow arranged by plant type and geographical regions, including the plants of California, South Africa and Australia. Please visit us at our nursery and our website to learn more about the plants at San Marcos Growers. We look forward to working with all of our customers to make 2017 another excellent year for horticulture!

    Reproductive Biology of Aloe Peglerae

    THE REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY AND HABITAT REQUIREMENTS OF ALOE PEGLERAE, A MONTANE ENDEMIC ALOE OF THE MAGALIESBERG MOUNTAIN RANGE, SOUTH AFRICA Gina Arena 0606757V A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Johannesburg, South Africa June 2013 DECLARATION I declare that this Dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at any other University. Gina Arena 21 day of June 2013 Supervisors Prof. C.T. Symes Prof. E.T.F. Witkowski i ABSTRACT In this study I investigated the reproductive biology and pollination ecology of Aloe peglerae, an endangered endemic succulent species of the Magaliesberg Mountain Range in South Africa. The aim was to determine the pollination system of A. peglerae, the effects of flowering plant density on plant reproduction and the suitable microhabitat conditions for this species. Aloe peglerae possesses floral traits that typically conform to the bird-pollination syndrome. Pollinator exclusion experiments showed that reproduction is enhanced by opportunistic avian nectar-feeders, mainly the Cape Rock-Thrush (Monticola rupestris) and the Dark- capped Bulbul (Pycnonotus tricolor). Insect pollinators did not contribute significantly to reproductive output. Small-mammals were observed visiting flowers at night, however, the importance of these visitors as pollinators was not quantified in this study. Interannual variation in flowering patterns dictated annual flowering plant densities in the population. The first flowering season represented a typical mass flowering event resulting in high seed production, followed by a second low flowering year of low seed production.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

We show that set of potential adaptations. Whereas this concept has constraints may also result from biases in the correlated long been debated on theoretical grounds, it has been occurrence of developmental steps (e.g., lack of successive investigated empirically only in a few studies. In this article, cytokinesis when wall formation is centripetal). We document we evaluate the importance of developmental constraints such biases and their potential outcomes, notably the during microsporogenesis (male meiosis in plants), with an establishment of intermediate stages, which allow emphasis on phylogenetic patterns in Asparagales.

These insights are developmental constraints were tested by character discussed with regard to potential selection on pollen reshuffling or by simulated distributions. Among the morphology.

    Aloe Scientific Primer International Aloe Science Council

    The International Aloe Science Council Presents an Aloe Scientific Primer International Aloe Science Council Commonly Traded Aloe Species The plant Aloe spp. has long been utilized in a variety of ways throughout history, which has been well documented elsewhere and need not be recounted in detail here, particularly as the purpose of this document is to discuss current and commonly traded aloe species. Aloe, in its various species, can presently and in the recent past be found in use as a decorative element in homes and gardens, in the creation of pharmaceuticals, in wound care products such as burn ointment, sunburn protectant and similar applications, in cosmetics, and as a food, dietary supplements and other health and nutrition related items. Recently, various species of the plant have even been used to weave into clothing and in mattresses. Those species of Aloe commonly used in commerce today can be divided into three primary categories: those used primarily in the production of crude drugs, those used primarily for decorative purposes, and those used in health, nutritional and related products. For reference purposes, this paper will outline the primary species and their uses, but will focus on the species most widely used in commerce for health, nutritional, cosmetic and supplement products, such as aloe vera. Components of aloe vera currently used in commerce The Aloe plant, and in particular aloe vera, has three distinct raw material components that are processed and found in manufactured goods: leaf juice; inner leaf juice; and aloe latex. A great deal of confusion regarding the terminology of this botanical and its components has been identified, mostly because of a lack of clear definitions, marketing, and other factors.

We think that the early medical practitioners Symbolism and the were very skillful and knowledgeable but understandably tight- lipped concerning the sources of their cures, which were also the sources of their livelihood. In these early civilizations, proprietary Threshing Floor: societies were formed around the cultivation and use of certain plants. There was an extremely precarious period before the Light, Life and Good invention of writing when specific knowledge was vested only in the minds of a few scholars in specific societies. When warriors from one city sacked another city, important knowledge was lost in Our Heritage if the scholars were killed. In other instances knowledge was diffused at the point of the sword! In order to preserve secrets, key plants used by a society could be grown in a clandestine location. It would have been difficult, With Special Reference to the but certainly not impossible, to have hidden the huge fields of Akkadians, Akhenaton, Moses, Aloe which must have been required by the practitioners. We suspect that the populations of Aloe on warm islands such as Alexander the Great, Dioscorides Socotra, and later the Canary Islands, Madeira, and the Cape Verdes might have been introduced by man.
