Kirstenbosch NBG List of Plants That Provide Food for Honey Bees
Indigenous South African Plants that Provide Food for Honey Bees Honey bees feed on nectar (carbohydrates) and pollen (protein) from a wide variety of flowering plants. While the honey bee forages for nectar and pollen, it transfers pollen from one flower to another, providing the service of pollination, which allows the plant to reproduce. However, bees don’t pollinate all flowers that they visit. This list is based on observations of bees visiting flowers in Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and on a variety of references, in particular the following: Plant of the Week articles on www.PlantZAfrica.com Johannsmeier, M.F. 2005. Beeplants of the South-Western Cape, Nectar and pollen sources of honeybees (revised and expanded). Plant Protection Research Institute Handbook No. 17. Agricultural Research Council, Plant Protection Research Institute, Pretoria, South Africa This list is primarily Western Cape, but does have application elsewhere. When planting, check with a local nursery for subspecies or varieties that occur locally to prevent inappropriate hybridisations with natural veld species in your vicinity.

Apomixis in the Asteraceae: Diamonds in the Rough
Functional Plant Science and Biotechnology ©2007 Global Science Books Apomixis in the Asteraceae: Diamonds in the Rough Richard D. Noyes University of Central Arkansas, Conway, Arkansas 72035, USA Correspondence : [email protected] ABSTRACT The Asteraceae is commonly listed, along with Poaceae and Rosaceae, as one of the principal families within which asexual reproduction by seed, i.e., apomixis, is prolific. A review of the literature indicates that naturally occurring apomixis is robustly indicated for 22 genera in seven tribes of Asteraceae (Lactuceae, Gnaphalieae, Astereae, Inuleae, Heliantheae, Madieae, and Eupatorieae), all but one of which occurs in the subfamily Asteroideae. Apomixis has been proposed for an additional 46 genera. However, consideration of the evidence indicates that the trait is contra-indicated for 30 of these cases in which developmental abnormalities or components of apomixis are recorded for otherwise sexual taxa. Accumulation and perpetuation of these reports through generations of reviews has inflated the actual number of genera in which apomictic reproduction occurs in the family. Data are strongly indicative or equivocal for effective apomixis for the remaining 16 genera, but thorough documentation is wanting. Our state of knowledge of apomixis in the Asteraceae is generally poor. Interpreting the phylogenetic distribution and evolution of the trait in the family will require systematic effort involving cytological documentation and genetic analysis of reproduction for many candidate genera. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rare Plant Register
1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.

WEST COAST NELSON/MARLBOROUGH Acknowledgements Thank you to the following people and organisations who helped with the production of this booklet: Lawrie Metcalf, Georgina Pahl (Mainly Natives Nursery), Mike Crawford (Nikau Gardens), Geoff Walls, Peter Russell, Peter Williams, Nick Ledgard; staff from Tasman District Council, Nelson City Council, Marlborough District Council, West Coast Regional Council, and Department of Conservation, for input, information and advice; John Barkla, Jeremy Rolfe, Trevor James, John Clayton, Peter de Lange, John Smith-Dodsworth, John Liddle (Liddle Wonder Nurseries), Geoff Bryant, Clayson Howell, John Sawyer and others who provided photos; Sonia Frimmel (What’s the Story) for design and layout. While all non-native alternatives have been screened against several databases to ensure they are not considered weedy, predicting future behaviour is not an exact science! The only way to be 100% sure is to use ecosourced native species. Published by: Weedbusters © 2007 ISBN: 978-0-9582844-1-7 Get rid of a weed, plant me instead! Many of the weedy species that are invading and damaging our natural areas are ornamental plants that have ‘jumped the fence’ from gardens and gone wild. It costs councils, government departments and private landowners millions of dollars, and volunteers and community groups thousands of unpaid hours, to control these weeds every year. This Plant Me Instead booklet profiles the environmental weeds of greatest concern to those in your region who work and volunteer in local parks and reserves, national parks, bush remnants, wetlands and coastal areas. Suggestions are given for locally-sold non-weedy species, both native and non- native, that can be used to replace these weeds in your garden.

TECHNICAL REPORT Effect of the Growth Retardant Cycocel® On
TECHNICAL REPORT Effect of the growth retardant Cycocel® on the growth and flowering of Felicia aethiopica as a flowering potted plant Berry D.A., Laubscher, C.P. and Mabela, H.T. Faculty of Applied Sciences, Department of Horticultural Sciences, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, PO Box 652, Cape Town, 8000, South Africa. ABSTRACT The Wild aster (Felicia aethiopica) was identified as a potential flowering potted plant due to its suitability to be grown in containers and its flowering period. However, the plant is naturally too tall for pot production. The plant growth retardant Cycocel® was selected as a possible means of controlling its growth habit. Plants were tested with five different concentrations (control, 800, 1 000, 1 250 and 1 500 ppm) applied as a foliar spray. Plants were cut back to 10 cm in height before the first application of Cycocel® was applied. The second application was applied 3 weeks later. After the first application, it was observed that all concentrations showed signs of leaf yellowing (chlorosis). The degree of yellowing increased with each concentration. The 800 ppm concentration produced shorter plants than the control. Although there were significant differences in plant width in week 8 and 10, Cycocel ® had no effect on reducing plant width in relation to the control. Cycocel® showed a positive effect on lateral branching and flower bud development towards the end of the experiment. The control was rated the most compact out of the 5 concentrations, but this is a result of the parameters set to measure each plant’s compactness. Keywords: Felicia aethiopica, Chlormequat (2-chlorethyl) trimethylammonium chloride, parts per million, potted plants, plant height, flowering.
