OVERVIEW œ Kindlewood, a Tongaat Hulett Developments development, is a private residential gated estate situated adjacent to the Mount Edgecombe Country Club Estate 2, Broadlands and Edgeview and lies west of the National Road (N2). The topography of Kindlewood is such that the valley lines comprise areas delineated as wetlands. Immediately adjacent to the wetlands are area defines as buffers which are of varying width. This document is prepared to do the following: - a) enable the purchasers within Kindlewood to design and plant their gardens in a manner that is aligned to the Kindlewood theme. b) enable the developer (Tongaat Hulett Developments) or the to-be-formed Management Association to manage the wetlands, buffers and open spaces within the Kindlewood site. This document is designed to complement, and is intended to be read in conjunction with, the —PROCEDURES AND METHODOLOGY FOR THE REHABILITATION OF WETLAND AREAS, STREAM BANKS AND BUFFER ZONES ON THE EAST COAST OF KWA-ZULU NATAL“ document from hereon referred to as —WETLAND DOCUMENT“. The information contained in the wetland document would therefore not be duplicated in this document. For ease of reference the WETLAND DOCUMENT is attached as Annexure B. The planning of the Kindlewood project took advantage of the knowledge base regarding the theories and practices pertinent to wetlands, buffers and streambeds. Tongaat Hulett Developments, in terms of its Environmental policies, planned the residential development primarily on the hilltops and upper slopes leaving the wetland and buffer areas free of residential development and allowing a high degree of residential amenity for community enjoyment and use. 2. INTERNAL SERVICES Road Access Kindlewood is accessed via Mount Edgecombe Drive through Gate 2 and via Edgeview Drive through Gate1. K in d le w o o d L a n d s c a p in g P hilo s o p hy P a g e 3 O c to b e r 20 0 7 œ R e v 1 Roads The residential streets within Kindlewood have been designed with emphasis being placed on a superior quality of finishes. Stormwater Kindlewood is one of the few projects where on site stormwater attenuation is mandatory. All purchasers/owners are required to attenuate stormwater on site prior to discharging, in a pre-specified manner, into the municipal system. On site infiltration is also promoted to enable post development flows not to exceed pre-development flows. Sewer A waterborne sewerage system has been provided to each site in accordance with the Local Authority‘s requirements. Water A potable water system has been installed and a connection provided to each site. Solid Waste Arrangement have been made with Durban Solid Waste to remove refuse from the development. Telkom Arrangements have been made with Telkom to enable a telecommunications supply to each site based on the potential maximum number of units for each site. Electricity An electrical connection has been provided to each site by Ethekwini Electricity. K in d le w o o d L a n d s c a p in g P hilo s o p hy P a g e 4 O c to b e r 20 0 7 œ R e v 1 3.

Miq., (Sapotaceae), originated from Africa, were introduced to coastal areas in Ecuador where it is not extensively used as a traditional medicine to treat various human diseases. Different therapeutically uses of the species include: analgesic, antimicrobial, hypoglycemic, inflammation and pain relieve associated with bone and articulation-related diseases. Furthermore, Mimusops coriacea could be used as anti-oxidant agent. However, botanical, chemical or molecular barcode information related to this much used species is not available from Ecuador. In this study, morphological characterization was performed from leaves, stem and seeds. Furthermore, genetic characterization was performed using molecular barcodes for rbcL, matk, ITS1 and ITS2 using DNA extracted from leaves. Methods: Macro-morphological description was performed on fresh leaves, stem Submitted 25 March 2019 and seeds. For anatomical evaluation, tissues were embedded in paraffin and Accepted 29 August 2019 transversal dissections were done following incubation with sodium hypochlorite Published 11 October 2019 and safranin for coloration and fixated later in glycerinated gelatin.

  • Vegetation Survey of Mount Gorongosa
    VEGETATION SURVEY OF MOUNT GORONGOSA Tom Müller, Anthony Mapaura, Bart Wursten, Christopher Chapano, Petra Ballings & Robin Wild 2008 (published 2012) Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 23 VEGETATION SURVEY OF MOUNT GORONGOSA Tom Müller, Anthony Mapaura, Bart Wursten, Christopher Chapano, Petra Ballings & Robin Wild 2008 (published 2012) Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 23 Biodiversity Foundation for Africa P.O. Box FM730, Famona, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Vegetation Survey of Mt Gorongosa, page 2 SUMMARY Mount Gorongosa is a large inselberg almost 700 sq. km in extent in central Mozambique. With a vertical relief of between 900 and 1400 m above the surrounding plain, the highest point is at 1863 m. The mountain consists of a Lower Zone (mainly below 1100 m altitude) containing settlements and over which the natural vegetation cover has been strongly modified by people, and an Upper Zone in which much of the natural vegetation is still well preserved. Both zones are very important to the hydrology of surrounding areas. Immediately adjacent to the mountain lies Gorongosa National Park, one of Mozambique's main conservation areas. A key issue in recent years has been whether and how to incorporate the upper parts of Mount Gorongosa above 700 m altitude into the existing National Park, which is primarily lowland. [These areas were eventually incorporated into the National Park in 2010.] In recent years the unique biodiversity and scenic beauty of Mount Gorongosa have come under severe threat from the destruction of natural vegetation. This is particularly acute as regards moist evergreen forest, the loss of which has accelerated to alarming proportions.

  • Accounting for Variation of Substitution Rates Through Time in Bayesian Phylogeny Reconstruction of Sapotoideae (Sapotaceae)
    Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 39 (2006) 706–721 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Accounting for variation of substitution rates through time in Bayesian phylogeny reconstruction of Sapotoideae (Sapotaceae) Jenny E.E. Smedmark ¤, Ulf Swenson, Arne A. Anderberg Department of Phanerogamic Botany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Received 9 September 2005; revised 4 January 2006; accepted 12 January 2006 Available online 21 February 2006 Abstract We used Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of 5 kb of chloroplast DNA data from 68 Sapotaceae species to clarify phylogenetic relation- ships within Sapotoideae, one of the two major clades within Sapotaceae. Variation in substitution rates through time was shown to be a very important aspect of molecular evolution for this data set. Relative rates tests indicated that changes in overall rate have taken place in several lineages during the history of the group and Bayes factors strongly supported a covarion model, which allows the rate of a site to vary over time, over commonly used models that only allow rates to vary across sites. Rate variation over time was actually found to be a more important model component than rate variation across sites. The covarion model was originally developed for coding gene sequences and has so far only been tested for this type of data. The fact that it performed so well with the present data set, consisting mainly of data from noncoding spacer regions, suggests that it deserves a wider consideration in model based phylogenetic inference. Repeatability of phylogenetic results was very diYcult to obtain with the more parameter rich models, and analyses with identical settings often supported diVerent topologies.
