The world’s richest temperate flora; 3 biodiversity hotspots &1 of the 6 flora kingdoms. The effective conservation of our local flora is a high priority and simultaneously a great challenge. South Africa has no national strategy for plant conservation as yet. In 2012 a national strateg y will be developed. Much work already happening towards achieving targets in South Africa this will be outlined in this talk. 2006 Organisations responsible for conservation of plants National Department of Environment Affairs National Environmental Management Act Biodiversity Act Protected Areas Act South African Botanical Society of National South African National South Africa Parksboard Biodiversity Institute Management of Protected Scientific work – assessment of the Areas Network Civil society NGO supporting status of ecosystems and species plant conservation 9 provinces each with conservation agency Responsible for management of biodiversity outidtside o f pro tec tdted areas Small protected areas Provincial conservation ordinances Objective I: Plant diversity is well understood, documented and recognized Target 1: An online flora of all known plants. htpp://p osa.sanbi.org Objective I: Plant diversity is well understood, documented and recognized Target 1: An online flora of all known plants. htpp://p osa.sanbi.org Objective I: Plant diversity is well understood, documented and recognized Target 1: An online flora of all known plants. htpp://p osa.sanbi.org Objective I: Plant diversity is well understood, documented and recognized Target 2: An assessment of the conservation status of all known plant Serruria rostellaris NT PROTEACEAE Assessing the conservation status of plants in megadiverse countries is challenging – the higgph numbers of species – finding information required for assessing the status is difficult South Africa is the only megadiverse country to have Tritonia lancea EN completed a comprehensive assessment of its flora using IRIDACEAE IUCN Red List criteria (version 3.1) http://redlist.sanbi.org Updated every 6 months Comparison with other megadiverse countries 40000 Total number of taxa Number of endemic taxa 35000 Number of taxa assessed 30000 Number of taxa threatened 25000 20000 15000 10000 12 % 22 % 5000 4 % 6% 17% 0 Brazil Australia South Africa* Ecuador* Madagascar* Objective I: Plant diversity is well understood, documented and recognized Target 3: Information, research and associated outputs and methods necessary to implement the Strategy developed and shared.

The National Plant Genetic Resources Centre (NPGRC) from the Department of Agriculture have the mandate to collect and conserve: 1. Indigenous crops landraces, namely sorghum, millets, cucurbits and the genus Vigna. 2. Crops that have become locally adapted (landraces). 3. Wild relatives of crop species. 4. LfLeafy vegetbltables. Objective II: Plant diversity is urgently and effectively conserved Tt10EfftiTarget 10: Effective managemen tliltt plans in place to prevent new biological invasions and to manage important areas for plant diversity that are invaded.

Of all the families of plants orchids are the largest. There are an estimated 750 to 1,000 genera and more than 25,000 species of orchids known today, with the number growing each year! The largest number of species is found in the Dendrobium (1,500 spp), Bulbophyllum (1,500 spp), and Pleurothalis (1,000 spp) genera. They are found on every continent in the world with the largest variety found in Asia. There are even species which use hot springs in Greenland to grow. Orchids can be epiphytic (growing high in the trees), terrestrial (growing in the ground), lithophytes (grow on rocks), and a few are saprophytic (living off decaying vegetation). The family is prized for its beautiful and diverse flowers. The only plant with an economic value to the common man is vanilla, which is a commonly enjoyed flavoring. The hybridizing of these flowers has become a major economic force worldwide for cut flowers and cultivation of plants by hobbyists.

    BRC Biodiv. Res. Conserv. 3-4: 210-212, 2006 www.brc.amu.edu.pl The problems of infrageneric classification of Eulophia R. Br. ex Lindl. (Orchidaceae, Cymbidiinae) Dorota Cieúlicka Department of Plant Taxonomy and Nature Conservation, University of GdaÒsk, Al. LegionÛw 9, 80-441 GdaÒsk, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The genus Eulophia comprises about 230 species. It has a wide distribution range ñ from tropical and subtropical Africa and Madagascar, through Asia to Australia; one species occures also in tropical America. For 723 records found for Eulophia in the International Plant Name Index, more than 500 are probably synonyms. Infrageneric classification of the genus is also complicated by the morphological diversity. We have to deal with situation where problematic species, not matching terms of smaller and well defined allied genera, are arbitrarily included into Eulophia. Proposed infrageneric classi- fication will be based upon methods of classical taxonomy, particularly examination of generative and vegetative characters. Additionally, the results of examination will be compared with data obtained from molecular studies and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Phylogenetic analysis will utilize nucleotide variation among sequences of selected DNA markers, prefer- ably Internal Transcribed Spacer of nrDNA multigene family. Those will be followed by biogeographic analysis with focus on methods of phylogenetic biogeography. Precise study of genus Eulophia is essential to access the limits of many species and to propose sectional arrangements for the entire range. Key words: Eulophia, phylogenesis, ITS, classification, SEM, Orchidales 1. Introduction Representatives of the genus occur in the wide range of habitats. Most of them grow terrestrially in the savanna The order Orchidales became an object of intensive and scrub, but epiphytic species can also be found in research using both traditional and modern methods.

  • Botanical Garden Collection Plan 2019 OBJECTIVE: Identify What The
    Botanical Garden Collection Plan 2019 OBJECTIVE: Identify what the botanical garden plant collection should contain to satisfy our central mission of conservation, research, and education. Cultivate the collections with the aim to create Oklahoma’s premiere botanical collection. STRATEGY: Develop the botanical collection documents (i.e. a collections management policy, a collections management plan, and a collections management manual etc.). These documents will guide and give structure to the botanical collection. Cultivate and mobilize the horticulture staff to follow the collections management plan. TACTICS: Document, catalog, and place signage on the existing collection specimens. Collect new specimens per the acquisition list for each individual collection to strengthen the collection and to create an educational experience for our guests using the botanical gardens. CONSERVATION . Support the Zoo’s conservation mission through the development of a diverse plant collection plan that focuses on saving rare and endangered plant species and fragile ecosystems. March 2019. Emphasize our most endangered plant family, the Cactaceae, by identifying a plant conservation action regarding it and connecting it to the cactus collection. April 2019. Develop plant conservation signage to support the botanical collections and animal habitats. May 2019. RESEARCH . Research and develop an Oklahoma native plant flora. Collaborate with local university to develop a research program that benefits the OKC Zoo’s botanical collections program. Find graduate students that will benefit from using the botanical collection for studies/experiments. COLLECTIONS . Develop the proposed plant collections below: 1 . Oklahoma Native Plant Collection: . What does it mean to be a native plant?
