Elegia Cuspidata | Plantz Africa About:Reader?Url= Elegia cuspidata | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/elegia-cuspidata pza.sanbi.org Elegia cuspidata | Plantz Africa Elegia cuspidata Mast. Family: Restionaceae Common names: blombiesie (Afr.) Introduction At last, a restio that you will not struggle to identify! Elegia cuspidata has distinctive features and is suited for planting in a Cape Peninsula wetland garden. Description Description Elegia cuspidata has sturdy upright stems and grows 0.5-1.1 m tall. Plants stay neatly clumped as they do not have a spreading rhizome and culms are unbranched. Chestnut brown sheaths enclose each node and as the culm grows the sheaths splay outwards and drop off. They leave behind a circular ring known as an abscission line. This occurs from the base of the culm upwards. Male and female flowers occur on separate plants. Inflorescences are dark brown and can sometimes appear almost black. Individual flowers are almost microscopic and can number anywhere from 50 to over 500 flowers per inflorescence. Each flower sits within a bract which has a long-pointed tip. These bracts give the inflorescence its distinctive brush-like appearance. 1 of 5 2016/12/14 03:32 PM Elegia cuspidata | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/elegia-cuspidata The easiest way to tell male from female is at flowering time. This occurs through the summer months. The male plant produces pollen and the female plant has white fluffy styles that receive the pollen and form the seed. Tiny shiny brown seeds are released in autumn. Conservation Status Status Least Concern. Distribution and habitat Distribution description Elegia cuspidata is a coastal species endemic to the Western Cape. It occurs in the sandveld along the West Coast, along the Palmiet River in the Kogelberg, and on the Peninsula at Cape Point. It forms extensive dominant populations in seasonally wet marshy areas at an altitude of below 300 m. Soils are acidic and sandy. Derivation of name and historical aspects History African Restionaceae contains 8 genera made up of ± 350 species. Restios are one of the main components of fynbos and are found growing mainly in the Western & Eastern Cape. Other well-known species within Elegia are Elegia capensis and Elegia tectorum . The specific name cuspidata is Latin for pointed or, in botanical usage, abruptly tipped with a sharp rigid point. This refers to the pointed tips of the floral bracts. The genus name Elegia comes from the Greek word elegos which means 'song of lamentation', as in the English word elegy. This may refer to the sound restios make while they are moving in the breeze. 2 of 5 2016/12/14 03:32 PM Elegia cuspidata | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/elegia-cuspidata Ecology Ecology Summer in the Western Cape is characterized by strong southeasterly winds. These winds are responsible for pollinating restios. If you tap the culms of flowering male restios you will see big clouds of dust-like pollen being released. Bees and beetles are always in attendance when male plants flower but they are stealing the pollen for themselves and not performing any pollination function. Uses Use Elegia cuspidata is used as a landscape plant or as cut greenery in the floral trade. Growing Elegia cuspidata Grow Elegia cuspidata requires the following growing conditions to flourish in your garden: Full sun for most of the day, good air circulation and preferably exposure to wind. If light or air circulation are not sufficient, plants may become weak and spindly and turn yellow. This restio naturally occurs in seasonally flooded marshes in acidic soils. It experiences hot windy summers and cold rainy winters with its feet submerged in water. At Kirstenbosch it is planted in well-drained soils and, provided it receives enough water, grows well. This plant is suited to a more naturalisticly themed garden where it can be combined with other fynbos species with similar growing requirements. For example Erica patersonii, Mimetes cucullatus , Mimetes hirtus , Erica margaritacea , Witsenia maura , Zantedeschia aethiopica , Watsonia species.Plant in large swathes as a filler with colourful flowering shrubs popping about above and in between. Restios are relatively disease-free plants, and no major pests and diseases are likely to affect Elegia cuspidata . 3 of 5 2016/12/14 03:32 PM Elegia cuspidata | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/elegia-cuspidata There are two ways to propagate restios: dividing the rhizome and sowing seed. Dividing the rhizome entails digging up an established plant and breaking the rhizome into pieces at least 150 mm long. Plant these pieces into the ground or into pots. Water them well after planting. This is done during winter before the plant sends up new culms. The plants will take at least a year to start growing strongly and produce new shoots. At Kirstenbosch we use seed propagation for all the restios. This is a fast and easy method to use if you require large quantities of plants. The seed is planted in April-May (autumn) when the days are warm (20-30°C) and the nights are cool (10-15°C). Treat the seed prior to planting with Instant Smoke Primer. This smoke treatment greatly improves germination. Seed is planted into seed trays 100 mm deep and filled with a well-drained medium. Plant the seed thickly as 50 % of restio seed is not viable. Cover the seed lightly with sand, and water. Place the trays in a light well-ventilated area. Keep the trays moist but not wet. After 3-4 weeks germination should take place. Once the plants have developed a few small culms, after ± 6 - 12 weeks, and are 30 mm tall, they can be pricked out into 6-packs or plug trays. Use a fynbos potting medium consisting of 1 part loam, 8 parts bark and 3 parts sand. Harden off the plants in a semi-shaded area until they are growing strongly (± 4 weeks) before placing in the sun. Once the roots start to show through the bottom of the trays they can be potted into small black bags. After growing on they will be ready to be planted in the garden. Plant out into the garden at the start of the rainy season and mix in some well rotted compost into the planting hole. Water well if no rain is predicted. Maintain plants by removing old dead culms. Depending on growing conditions plants will need to be replaced after about 5 years. They will last longer than this in the garden but do tend to become untidy with age. References Booyens, J. 2008.

  • 1 March 27 a Few Days Ago, While Finding Refuge Indoors
    1 March 27 A few days ago, while finding refuge indoors from the strong wind (mainly due to the dust factor), I was quite amazed how the dynamics of the landscape seem to change with wind. Although the wind was predominately from the west, the trees and other plants would sway in all directions. They would bend to the east, straighten up and then without hesitation sway to the south and then to the north! Confusing to try and determine the actual directional source but be that as it may there was another exciting element to it all. It was the graceful dance of continuity that had no formality or predetermined steps. I so enjoy seasonal changes as each one brings something different which is a requirement of our natural world. Changes in light and temperature wake some plants up while others take a break or just go to sleep. I often think wind is an overlooked characteristic of seasonal change and for many it is just another windy day resulting in irritation and inconvenience. We can’t live without it as it is responsible for rain, spreading fire, moving soils, seed, pollen, insects, bird migration and disease. It is the power behind land, sea and air travel and the smallest of gusts can take your hat off. Like so much of the natural world we cannot control it…thankfully. Movement brings life to the garden physically and through colour as leaves flutter and show the variation between top and underside. Unfortunately, this wonderful phenomenon, is rather lost in formal gardens due to the stiffness of man made lines and unnatural shapes.

    GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field.

  • Vicariance, Climate Change, Anatomy and Phylogeny of Restionaceae
    Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society (2000), 134: 159–177. With 12 figures doi:10.1006/bojl.2000.0368, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Under the microscope: plant anatomy and systematics. Edited by P. J. Rudall and P. Gasson Vicariance, climate change, anatomy and phylogeny of Restionaceae H. P. LINDER FLS Bolus Herbarium, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7701, South Africa Cutler suggested almost 30 years ago that there was convergent evolution between African and Australian Restionaceae in the distinctive culm anatomical features of Restionaceae. This was based on his interpretation of the homologies of the anatomical features, and these are here tested against a ‘supertree’ phylogeny, based on three separate phylogenies. The first is based on morphology and includes all genera; the other two are based on molecular sequences from the chloroplast genome; one covers the African genera, and the other the Australian genera. This analysis corroborates Cutler’s interpretation of convergent evolution between African and Australian Restionaceae. However, it indicates that for the Australian genera, the evolutionary pathway of the culm anatomy is much more complex than originally thought. In the most likely scenario, the ancestral Restionaceae have protective cells derived from the chlorenchyma. These persist in African Restionaceae, but are soon lost in Australian Restionaceae. Pillar cells and sclerenchyma ribs evolve early in the diversification of Australian Restionaceae, but are secondarily lost numerous times. In some of the reduction cases, the result is a very simple culm anatomy, which Cutler had interpreted as a primitively simple culm type, while in other cases it appears as if the functions of the ribs and pillars may have been taken over by a new structure, protective cells developed from epidermal, rather than chlorenchyma, cells.

A fire response trait that allows plants to cope with frequent fire by either reseeding or resprouting could differentially affect rates of species diversification. However, little is known about the generality of the effects of differing fire response on species evolution. We study this question in the Restionaceae, a family that radiated in Southern Africa and Australia. These radiations occurred independently and represent evolutionary replicates. We apply Bayesian approaches to estimate trait-specific diversification rates and patterns of climatic niche evolution. We also compare the climatic heterogeneity of South Africa and Australia. Reseeders diversify faster than resprouters in South Africa, but not in Australia.

  • Nuclear Genes, Matk and the Phylogeny of the Poales
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 Nuclear genes, matK and the phylogeny of the Poales Hochbach, Anne ; Linder, H Peter ; Röser, Martin Abstract: Phylogenetic relationships within the monocot order Poales have been well studied, but sev- eral unrelated questions remain. These include the relationships among the basal families in the order, family delimitations within the restiid clade, and the search for nuclear single-copy gene loci to test the relationships based on chloroplast loci. To this end two nuclear loci (PhyB, Topo6) were explored both at the ordinal level, and within the Bromeliaceae and the restiid clade. First, a plastid reference tree was inferred based on matK, using 140 taxa covering all APG IV families of Poales, and analyzed using parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. The trees inferred from matK closely approach the published phylogeny based on whole-plastome sequencing. Of the two nuclear loci, Topo6 supported a congruent, but much less resolved phylogeny. By contrast, PhyB indicated different phylo- genetic relationships, with, inter alia, Mayacaceae and Typhaceae sister to Poaceae, and Flagellariaceae in a basally branching position within the Poales. Within the restiid clade the differences between the three markers appear less serious. The Anarthria clade is first diverging in all analyses, followed by Restionoideae, Sporadanthoideae, Centrolepidoideae and Leptocarpoideae in the matK and Topo6 data, but in the PhyB data Centrolepidoideae diverges next, followed by a paraphyletic Restionoideae with a clade consisting of the monophyletic Sporadanthoideae and Leptocarpoideae nested within them. The Bromeliaceae phylogeny obtained from Topo6 is insufficiently sampled to make reliable statements, but indicates a good starting point for further investigations.
