    Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi

    YIKA-VWAZA TRUST RESEARCH STUDY REPORT N (2017/18) Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi By Sopani Sichinga ([email protected]) September , 2019 ABSTRACT In 2018 – 19, a survey on vascular plants was conducted in Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve. The reserve is located in the north-western Malawi, covering an area of about 986 km2. Based on this survey, a total of 461 species from 76 families were recorded (i.e. 454 Angiosperms and 7 Pteridophyta). Of the total species recorded, 19 are exotics (of which 4 are reported to be invasive) while 1 species is considered threatened. The most dominant families were Fabaceae (80 species representing 17. 4%), Poaceae (53 species representing 11.5%), Rubiaceae (27 species representing 5.9 %), and Euphorbiaceae (24 species representing 5.2%). The annotated checklist includes scientific names, habit, habitat types and IUCN Red List status and is presented in section 5. i ACKNOLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, let me thank the Nyika–Vwaza Trust (UK) for funding this work. Without their financial support, this work would have not been materialized. The Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) Malawi through its Regional Office (N) is also thanked for the logistical support and accommodation throughout the entire study. Special thanks are due to my supervisor - Mr. George Zwide Nxumayo for his invaluable guidance. Mr. Thom McShane should also be thanked in a special way for sharing me some information, and sending me some documents about Vwaza which have contributed a lot to the success of this work. I extend my sincere thanks to the Vwaza Research Unit team for their assistance, especially during the field work.
  • Plant Common Name Scientific Name Description of Plant Picture of Plant

    Plant Common Name Scientific Name Description of Plant Picture of Plant

    Plant common name Description of Plant Picture of Plant Scientific name Strangler Fig The Strangler Fig begins life as a small vine-like plant Ficus thonningii that climbs the nearest large tree and then thickens, produces a branching set of buttressing aerial roots, and strangles its host tree. An easy way to tell the difference between Strangle Figs and other common figs is that the bottom half of the Strangler is gnarled and twisted where it used to be attached to its host, the upper half smooth. A common tree on kopjes and along rivers in Serengeti; two massive Fig trees near Serengeti; the "Tree Where Man was Born" in southern Loliondo, and the "Ancestor Tree" near Endulin, in Ngorongoro are significant for the local Maasai peoples. Wild Date Palm Palms are monocotyledons, the veins in their leaves Phoenix reclinata are parallel and unbranched, and are thus relatives of grasses, lilies, bananas and orchids. The wild Date Palm is the most common of the native palm trees, occurring along rivers and in swamps. The fruits are edible, though horrible tasting, while the thick, sugary sap is made into Palm wine. The tree offers a pleasant, softly rustling, fragrant-smelling shade; the sort of shade you will need to rest in if you try the wine. Candelabra The Candelabra tree is a common tree in the western Euphorbia and Northern parts of Serengeti. Like all Euphorbias, Euphorbia the Candelabra breaks easily and is full of white, candelabrum extremely toxic latex. One drop of this latex can blind or burn the skin.

It is increasingly recognized as potential species for environmental protection and poverty reduction in many countries including Ethiopia. The study was conducted in Amhara Regional State, Awi Zone, where Yushania alpina dominated areas of Banja district. This finding aimed at to identify advanced propagation techniques that can be pertinent for large scale plantation of Yushania alpina. randomized complete block design with three replications was used. The vegetative propagation materials (treatments) were; rhizome with two nodes, rhizome with four nodes, rhizome with six nodes, rhizome without culm and rhizome with the whole culm (offset). A total of 240 offset planting materials were planted in the experimental station. Of which, sixteen planting material were used in each plot level. New shoot sprouting, and their height, root collar diameter and mortality rate data was collected. There was no statistical significant difference in mean number of new sprouted shoots of Yushinia alpina between the five treatments. While, there was significant difference between mean shoot height of rhizome with four nodes and rhizome without Culm (137.02b ± 22.94, 67.10a ± 17.97) at (p<0.05) respectively.

Carter Hallmark and Sharon Palmer taught the April Trekell 11/24 second day, also tag-teaming. There were eight groups of kids one day and ten groups the Donna Burcham, 11/25 second day, anywhere from 20-45 kids in a group, so it was quite a good turnout. The kids were Carter Hallmark, 11/29 Sally Mitchell, 11/30 handed pictures of plants with magnets on the back and they each took a turn coming up to the Bob Williams, 11/30 front and trying to figure out which part of that plant was edible. They would then put the plant on the magnetic whiteboard in the area that listed which part was edible. Some were pretty tough December to figure out. Plants such as sorghum, rhubarb, onion, kohlrabi and potato had them stumped... Joy Crabtree, 12/14 even some of the adults were at a loss! The kids were so great! I could tell they were having fun Louella Iliff, 12/16 engaging in the learning experiences those few days.
