Signature: Date: i Acknowledgements Firstly, thanks go to my family. Without their unconditional support, love and wine, none of this would have been possible. Thank you also to my friends who have supported me throughout this project. Particularly, Katie, Gordon, Wendy, Matthew and Chantel: I owe you. Jan, you were right about the film, but thanks for sticking by me nonetheless. This was a part-time PhD, which meant it took a lot longer than most projects to be completed. Credit is due to my very patient supervisors, Melanie and Peter (and Paddy who retired before I could finish), who miraculously maintained enthusiasm for this project, even when mine was waning. Thank you to the Agronomy Team at Orkney, particularly John Wishart whose help was indispensable to this project. Thank you to Kenny Boyd and Sandy Gray for your advice and guidance and thanks also to my very understanding line manager Janet Mahon, who expertly found the perfect balance between support, encouragement and blatant threats. But above all this is for my dad, who isn’t here to see me finish, but it is thanks to him that I did. ii Abstract The northern hemisphere plant Arnica montana L. can be found across Europe on high alpine slopes with acidic soils. The flowers are well documented as a source of natural products, particularly, active compounds associated with anti- inflammatory properties. The high demand for this extract has meant that wild plant numbers have reduced dramatically and now in many countries, it is illegal to harvest A. montana from the wild. As a result, flowers from the non-endangered A. chamissonis Less. have been employed for the production of extracts with similar properties. A. montana and A. chamissonis were both grown during the period 2004 to 2007 in the North of Scotland (Orkney) in order to determine whether this environment was condusive to high yield. The qualitative and quantitative effects of weeding, fertiliser, mulch, seed source and species on yield were also studied. This research found that A. montana had high quality extract but was prone to crown rot and was less robust than initial trials suggested. Conversely, while A. chamissonis grew vigorously, the extract contained approximately a third of the sesquiterpene lactone content. iii Contents iv Figures xi Tables xxi List of Abbreviations xxv 1.

  • The Impact of Land Use on Invertebrate Assemblages in the Succulent Karoo, South Africa
    The impact of land use on invertebrate assemblages in the Succulent Karoo, South Africa. By ‘Makebitsamang Constance Nchai Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Conservation Ecology) at the University of Stellenbosch. Supervisor: Dr. Cornelia B. Krug Co-supervisor: Prof. M. J. Samways December 2008 Abstract The Succulent Karoo biodiversity hotspot is threatened by pressure caused by increasing human populations and its associated land use types. Land use is primarily focussed on agriculture, with livestock grazing as a dominant land use in the region. Cultivation is also practiced along the major perennial rivers, and in drier areas, where this largely depends on rainfall. Only about seven percent of the biome is formally protected, and this area substantially under-represents the biodiversity of the Succulent Karoo and does not incorporate key ecological processes and biodiversity drivers. Therefore, there is urgent need for outside reserve conservation initiatives, whose success depend on understanding the ecosystem function of the Succulent Karoo. This study aimed to determine the impacts of heavy grazing, light grazing and cultivation (in a 30-year old fallow field) on assemblages of ground-dwelling and flying invertebrates. Seasonal assemblage changes were also determined. Vegetation structure and composition were determined using the line-intercept method to determine if vegetation patterns explain patterns in invertebrate assemblages. Abandoned fields harbour the lowest number of plant species, and these together with the heavily grazed sizes are dominated by a high cover of Galenia africana (Aizoaceae). Lightly grazed sites have the highest structural complexity, with a high cover of succulents and non-succulent perennials.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

It is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted for any degree or examination at any other university. The abstracts and copies of paper(s) included are part of this work. Signature Date ii DEDICATION To Joy, Shalom and George, my lifetime friends, for their love, courage, strength and prayers that inspired me to face all the challenges… iii ABSTRACT The genus Eriocephalus commonly known as ‘wild rosemary’, ‘Cape snow bush’, or ‘kapokbos’ is a member of the family Asteraceae (tribe Anthemideae). The genus is endemic to southern Africa, with the highest concentration of species in the Western and Northern Cape. The genus comprises 32 species and a total of 42 taxa, which are distributed in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and Lesotho. The characters used in species delimitation are purely based on morphological variation in floral and foliar parts and are highly homoplastic due to phenotypic plasticity. In many cases these features are not sufficiently distinctive, as some taxa tend to exhibit dimorphism in some character states such as the presence of opposite and alternate leaves. In some species there is extensive intergrading of the major diagnostic characters leading to uncertainty in species delimitation.

Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”.
