Box 398, Magaliesburg, 1791, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected] 2 P.O. Box 914, Mzuzu, Malaŵi. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract One hundred and forty-three species of Geometridae occurring in the greater Mount Mulanje area, thirty-one of which probably undescribed, are reported. This is a high number considering that only a few of the available habitats have been surveyed. Mount Mulanje, being a significant climate changing inselberg, probably harbours a high diversity of habitats. It is argued that inselbergs, such as Mount Mulanje, allow for a high diversity of micro-climatic conditions to persist. This in turn allows for the survival of a high diversity of micro-habitats, the communities of each uniquely adapted to different climatic conditions. This makes Mount Mulanje well equipped to survive future climate change and the area should be preserved at all cost. Micro-habitat diversity is often difficult to define. It is shown that Geometridae are excellent indicators of habitat diversity. Introduction The Mount Mulanje massif (15°50ʹ - 16°03ʹS/35°30ʹ - 35°47ʹE) is a granitic inselberg that rises over 2 kms from the surrounding plains, with the highest peak (Sapitwa) reaching 3000 m. It is situated in the south western corner of Malaŵi on the Mozambique border. It is the highest mountain in tropical southernAfrica, and the second highest in southern Africa. The mountain covering an area of approximately 650 km2 is an essential water catchment area with at least 9 rivers originating from the plateau. The Mountain was formed about 130 million years ago. The area was made a Forest Reserve in 1927. It was designated a UNESCO 'Man and the Biosphere Reserve' in 2000 (Mulanje Mountain Conservation Trust, 2005). The following information on the bio-diversity of the mountain is available: 1330 vascular plant species of which about 70 are strict endemics; 180 bird species (1 endemic subspecies, 6 near endemic species); 250 butterflies (8 June 2011 METAMORPHOSIS, VOL.

We found 46 of the 358 described cycad species had at least one element reported to date. The only genus that was missing from the data was Microcycas. Many of the species reports contained concentrations of one to several macronutrients and no other elements. The cycad leaves contained greater nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations than the reported means for plants throughout the world. Magnesium was identified as the macronutrient that has been least studied.

  • Woody Plant Species Used in Urban Forestry in West Africa: Case Study in Lomé, Capital Town of Togo
    International Scholars Journals African Journal of Wood Science and Forestry ISSN 2375-0979 Vol. 7 (8), pp. 001-011, August, 2019. Available online at www.internationalscholarsjournals.org © International Scholars Journals Author(s) retain the copyright of this article. Full Length Research Paper Woody plant species used in urban forestry in West Africa: Case study in Lomé, capital town of Togo Radji Raoufou*, Kokou Kouami and Akpagana Koffi Laboratory of Plant Biology and Ecology, BP 1515 Lomé - Togo. Accepted 13 July, 2019 Many studies have been conducted on the flora of Togo. However, none of them is devoted to the ornamental flora horticulture. This survey aims to establish an inventory of the woody plant species in urban forests of Lomé, the capital town of Togo. It covers the trees planted along the avenues, in the gardens, courtyards, shady trees and trees used as fences for houses or trees at the seaside. In total, 297 plant species belong to 141 genera and 48 families were recorded. They are dominated by 79% of dicotyledonous, 13% of monocotyledonous and 8% of gymnosperms. Families that are best represented in terms of species are those of the Euphorbiaceae, Arecaceae and Acanthaceae. Alien species represent 69% and African species represent 31% out of which 6% are from Togo. According to the current threatening of the natural habitat by human activities, African native plant species could be more useful for ornamental purposes than exotic plants. Key words: Ornamental horticulture, plant flora, green areas, valorisation, native flora. INTRODUCTION Urban forestry refers to trees and forests located in cities, landscape covered with trees for the physical and mental including ornamental and grown trees, street and parkland health has been documented (Ulrich, 1984).
