Monocot Nursery Plant List 1994-95 MONOCOT NURSERY '.1acklandc, Jacklands Bridge, Tickenham, Clevedon, Avon BS21 6S G, England. Only the Narcissus pages are included here. Plant List 1994 - 5 -131.4.464. 11,1_ .1. "It . _ All plants listed are grown here on the nursery, the greater part from seed which ensures robust virus-free stocks. For conservation purposes, where stocks are from a known original source, this is briefly given. Where stocks are from various sources these are also given with collectors initials and collection numbers so that they may be precisely identified from the collectors field notes. This general list is without descriptions or cultural details as I expect enthusiasts to have some idea of the plant they wish to grow. Reference is recommended to:- 'The Bulb Book' by Rix & Phillips, 'Dwarf Bulbs' and 'Larger Bulbs' both by Brian Mathew or 'Bulbs' by Grey-Wilson & Mathew for descrip- tions and/or illustrations of most of the plants listed here. For Narcissus species 'Narcissus' by John Blanchard or 'Modern Miniature Daffodils' by James Wells are comprehensive and well illustrated. 'The Crocus' and 'The Iris' both by Brian Mathew are the current handbooks on these genera. All plants listed are top size unless otherwise stated but flowering is not guaranteed as subsequent growing conditions are in the hands of the customer. If you are not satisfied with the goods as received, please return and I will replace or refund. May I draw your attention to my seed list devoted entirely to bulbous and tuberous-rooted plants which is issued annually at the end of October. About 500 species are usually listed including many which are never available in my list as flowering size material. A stamped self addressed envelope would be appreciated. 2 Bulbs for, late summer - early autumn delivery. Orders from March until August.

    Haemanthus canaliculatus | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/haemanthus-canaliculatus pza.sanbi.org Haemanthus canaliculatus | Plantz Africa Introduction In late summer or early autumn, after fires have swept through some of the swampy areas near the sea in the Hangklip area, you may be lucky enough to see the red paintbrushes of Haemanthus canaliculatus glowing brightly amongst the blackened remains of the vegetation. Description Description The bulbs are made up of a number of thick, fleshy, cream-coloured, overlapping, truncated bulb scales, arranged like a fan, with perennial fleshy roots. There are usually 2 (sometimes 1, 3 or 4) narrow smooth fleshy leaves up to 600 mm long, curved along 1 of 5 2016/12/14 03:51 PM Haemanthus canaliculatus | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/haemanthus-canaliculatus their length to form a channel. They are 5-27 mm wide, shiny green with reddish barred markings towards the base, especially on the lower surface. The smooth, thick, flattened, upright or curved flower stalks can be up to 200 mm long, 4-10 mm wide and are reddishpink to deep red, sometimes with deeper red spots especially near the base; 5-7 pointed, leathery bracts, called spathes, surround the 15-45 flowers clustered at the top of the stalk. The spathes and flowers are usually red but very occasionally may be pink. The flowers are topped with yellow anthers. The reddish berries are round and about 20 mm in diameter. Under natural conditions the flowering time is from February to March and the leaves usually appear after the flowers from May to December.

  • Newsletter No. 4 Autumn 2005
    The Southern African Bulb Group Newsletter No. 4 Autumn 2005 The Southern African Bulb Group was initiated by a group of enthusiasts on April 4th 2004. The objective of the group is to further the understanding of the cultivation of Southern African bulbs, where `bulbs' is used in the broad sense to encompass bulb-, corm- and tuber- possessing Southern African plants, including `dicots' such as Oxalis. In the first instance the group will be run on an informal basis, with an initial subscription of £5 invited from participants. Committee: Robin Attrill (Membership secretary and Newsletter editor), Margaret Corina (Treasurer), Stefan Rau and Terry Smale Editorial This issue of the newsletter contains a report of the meeting of the group held at Rupert Bowlby's Nursery on April 9th 2005, an article on Crinum moorei by David Corina, information on recent literature of interest to growers of Southern African bulbs, and an updated list of suppliers of seed and bulbs/corms of Southern African geophytes. In addition a balance sheet covering the first year of operation of the group is attached. With respect to the supplier list, please let me know if you are aware of other sources which should be included. As I have previously stated the group welcomes articles, and suggestions, for inclusion in future newsletters. Contributions (hand/typewritten and electronic are acceptable!) are urgently required and should be sent to the newsletter editor at 17 Waterhouse Moor, Harlow, Essex, CM18 6BA (Email [email protected] ) Publication of the next issue is scheduled for December 2005. Report on visit to Rupert Bowlby - Saturday 9 th April 2005 by David Corina About 20 members attended the event, and the Group would like to thank Rupert for his hospitality at the event and for opening his collection to the public gaze.

(Amaryllidaceae) Kine Hals Bødker http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo II Illustration: Aasne Aarhus, 1976. III IV Acknowledgements It has been an exciting journey working with the most beautiful plant genus of this world. There are many people I would like to thank for being a part of this journey. First and foremost, I want to thank my wonderful supervisors for all their help and support over the past two years. I could not have had a better team. My main supervisor, Charlotte - for your enthusiasm, knowledge, support and the most amazing field trips. In the 1970’s, before I was even born, Inger (and colleagues) worked with Scadoxus, which set the stage for this master thesis. I would like to thank Inger for being my additional supervisor and ultimately giving me this opportunity, and helping me understand more of Scadoxus morphology. Anne – for helping with the analyses, and especially for the incredibly helpful checking of spelling, grammatical errors and also helping me discourse my occasionally overwhelming results. Prof. Clemence Zimudzi and Dr. Tesfaye Awas – for fantastic field work experiences in Zimbabwe and Ethiopia, respectively. I would also like to thank the little kids in Ethiopia who helped us find Scadoxus specimens in places we never would have found without them.

  • The Potential of South African Indigenous Plants for the International Cut flower Trade ⁎ E.Y
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com South African Journal of Botany 77 (2011) 934–946 www.elsevier.com/locate/sajb The potential of South African indigenous plants for the international cut flower trade ⁎ E.Y. Reinten a, J.H. Coetzee b, B.-E. van Wyk c, a Department of Agronomy, Stellenbosch University, Private Bag, Matieland 7606, South Africa b P.O. Box 2086, Dennesig 7601, South Africa c Department of Botany and Plant Biotechnology, University of Johannesburg, P.O. Box 524, Auckland Park 2006, South Africa Abstract A broad review is presented of recent developments in the commercialization of southern Africa indigenous flora for the cut flower trade, in- cluding potted flowers and foliages (“greens”). The botany, horticultural traits and potential for commercialization of several indigenous plants have been reported in several publications. The contribution of species indigenous and/or endemic to southern Africa in the development of cut flower crop plants is widely acknowledged. These include what is known in the trade as gladiolus, freesia, gerbera, ornithogalum, clivia, agapan- thus, strelitzia, plumbago and protea. Despite the wealth of South African flower bulb species, relatively few have become commercially important in the international bulb industry. Trade figures on the international markets also reflect the importance of a few species of southern African origin. The development of new research tools are contributing to the commercialization of South African plants, although propagation, cultivation and post-harvest handling need to be improved. A list of commercially relevant southern African cut flowers (including those used for fresh flowers, dried flowers, foliage and potted flowers) is presented, together with a subjective evaluation of several genera and species with perceived potential for the development of new crops for the florist trade.

Easter is a great time for gardening, after the heat of Summer is gone, and the cold of Winter is yet to set in. This Easter Roraima Nursery will be closed on Good Friday only and will trading as normal from 9am till 5pm on all other days. We will also be trading as usual from 9am till 5pm on Anzac Day. RORAIMA PLANT PROFILE Ceiba speciosa Ceiba is a genus of trees native to tropical areas including Mexico, Central America, South America, America, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, West Africa and Southeast Asia. Ceiba speciosa, commonly known as the Silk Floss Tree, is a semi-deciduous native of South America. Formerly known as Chorisia speciosa, it prefers a full sun/part shade position away from strong winds and can reach 6m height and 5.width over a period of 9 years in Victoria. In their native habitat they reach 20m height, but in Victoria are known to reach 10-15m. In cooler climates like Lara, Ceiba speciosa may lose its foliage over winter when the colder weather arrives, but reappears as the warmth returns. Once established the drought-tolerant Ceiba speciosa can handle light frosts. Not only are the striking pink flowers a highlight of this tree, but so is its thorny trunk that give this tree a pre-historic appearance.

  • In Vitro Propagation of Haemanthus Pumilio and H. Albiflos (Amaryllidaceae) and the Population Genetics of H
    In Vitro Propagation of Haemanthus pumilio and H. albiflos (Amaryllidaceae) and the population genetics of H. pumilio By Panashe Kundai Madzivire Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Science at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Paul N Hills Co-supervisor: Léanne L. Dreyer March 2021 i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ENGLISH - ABSTRACT Haemanthus albiflos and H. pumilio are members of the Amaryllidaceae. H. albiflos is a widespread evergreen plant, while H. pumilio is an endangered narrow endemic species with only two known populations remaining. These populations, remnants of the one recently transferred from Wellington to the Stellenbosch University Botanical gardens and another in the Duthie Reserve in Stellenbosch, present with vastly different morphologies. It is therefore vital to understand the phylogenetics and population genetics of H. pumilio as well as to design a method of in vitro propagation to increase the numbers of these plants. This study analysed the phylogenetics of H. pumilio using non-coding nuclear (Internal transcribed spacer), plastid (trnL-trnF intergenic spacer) and mitochondrial (nadi1477) gene regions and the population genetics using inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) and start codon targeted (SCoT) polymorphisms.
