According to previous studies, the northern species, present in Europe and the Mediterranean, form a paraphyletic, basal clade, and the southern species, present in South Africa, form a robust monophyletic group. In this work a molecular phylogenetic analysis from European and from Central and South African Erica species was performed using the chloroplast regions: trnL-trnL-trnF and 5´trnK-matK , as well as the nuclear DNA marker ITS, in order i) to state the monophyly of the northern and southern species, ii) to determine the phylogenetic relationships between the species and contrasting them with previous systematic research studies and iii) to compare the results provided from nuclear data and explore possible evolutionary patterns. All species were monophyletic except for the widely spread E. arborea , and E. manipuliflora . The paraphyly of the northern species was also confirmed, but three taxa from Central East Africa were polyphyletic, suggesting different episodes of colonization of this area.

  • Heathers and Heaths
    Heathers and Heaths Heathers and heaths are easy care evergreen plants that can give year-round garden color. With careful planning, you can have varieties in bloom every month of the year. Foliage colors include shades of green, gray, gold, and bronze; some varieties change color or have colored tips in the winter or spring. Flower colors are white and shades of pink, red, and purple. Heathers make excellent companions to rhododendrons and azaleas. They are also excellent in rock gardens or on slopes. Bees love traditional heaths and heathers; however, the new bud-bloomer Scotch heathers, whose flowers are long-lasting because they don’t open completely, do not provide good bee forage, nor do the new foliage-only series. Choose other varieties if that is a consideration. Heathers grow best in neutral to slightly acid soil with good drainage. A sandy soil mixed with compost or leaf mold is ideal. Heathers bloom best in full or partial sun. Plants will grow in a shady location but will not bloom as well and tend to get leggy. They will not do well in areas of hot reflected sunlight. To plant heather, work compost into the planting area, then dig a hole at least twice the width of the rootball. Partially fill with your amended soil and place the plant at the same level it grew in the container. Excess soil over the rootball will kill the plant. For the same reason, do not mulch too deeply or allow mulch to touch the trunks. Normally a spacing of 12-30” apart is good, depending on the variety.

Conclusions Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary Fodder trees and shrubs can be useful to improve grazing lands where the plant cover is poor. TheyUNESCO can act as (a) a standing fodder– EOLSSbank to buffer seasonal fluctuations that occur in arid and semi-arid areas, (b) a protein supplement for livestock on poor native rangelands or consuming low quality roughages, (c) a mean of soil erosion control, and (d) a fuel sourceSAMPLE for low income farmers. ForCHAPTERS these reasons, fodder trees and shrubs plantations are expanding. By the end of the twentieth century, about one million ha have been planted with native and exotic fodder species in the Mediterranean basin, mainly in eastern and southern countries.

  • Heathers – Color for All Seasons
    Heathers – Color for All Seasons Written by Bob Cain, certified WSU Clallam County Master Gardener. Heathers represent one of the most versatile components in Pacific Northwest gardens. Not only are they well adapted to the climate and soil but they can also provide color in every season of the year. The term “heather” is often used to refer to several different plant types including true heathers (genus: Calluna), heaths (genus: Erica), Irish heaths (genus: Daboecia) and mountainheaths (genus: Phyllodoce). Heaths are typically lower growing and more compact than true heathers. They also spread outwards at a faster rate. Some heaths, however, can grow up to 10 to 20 feet high; these species, often called “tree heaths” due to their spectacular size, include Erica arborea, Erica lusitanica, Erica australis and Erica terminalis. Heathers (including all of the above plant types) flourish in cool, moist conditions and in soils which are slightly acidic. As a result, they are good companions to azaleas and rhododendrons which also thrive in acidic soils. Heathers grow best in peaty, acid soils but will tolerate all soils except those with high lime content. Heathers generally like full sun (at least 6 hours of sun each day); however, Irish heaths tolerate part shade and are well suited to garden areas that transition between sun and shade. The best planting times are March through May and then late September through late November. Young plants should be planted with the foliage almost touching the soil surface. Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for growth. Draw back mulch from the main stem.

Arranging the vehicles took a little longer than expected, but once sorted we were on our way, heading to Ponte Leccia. Here we had a coffee stop and Andrew bought some cheese, meat and bread. We then headed across the top of the island to l’Ile-Rousse, where we stopped at the farmer’s market to buy fruit and salad. We then pushed on to our lunch stop near Galeria. Here we saw a variety of birds, wall lizards and some endemic plants: Corsican Storksbill (Erodium corsicum) and Sea Lavender (Limonium corsicum). We then drove a few hundred yards to see if there was a way down to some wetland, but unfortunately there was not. We did hear Cetti’s Warbler and saw a pair of Long-tailed Tits. Our next stop was on the coastal road at one of the U bends at the head of one of the many valleys we had to negotiate. Here were even more endemic plants, though we stopped for the Wild Vine (Vitis riparia) and saw the Illyrian Sea Lily (Pancratium Illyricum).

Objectives of our study were to evaluate the potential of E. arborea epicormic shoot formation in different tree diameters and heights after forest fire occurred, and investigate establishment of woody species in the fire affected ericaceous forest. Two 40 m x 40 m sample plots were established, one at a fire affected site and another at an unaffected site. Within each plot, 1m x 1m subplots were placed at 2 m intervals along diagonal transects 51 in each site. Experimental treatments (soil scarification, mowing, fire and total enclosure) were assigned to subplots. A non-parametric t-test for two independent samples of unburned and burned plots was applied to test the degree of significance. From the crown-fire affected plots 56.3% of the trees were re-sprouted from the base in the first diameter class (0-4.9 cm). Out of 993.7 individual trees ha-1 in the second height class (1.5-3 m), 73 % were sprouted.

  • 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.

The use of Erica manipuliflora, a decorative native ornamental species, is limited in landscaping due to insufficient plantlet production in nurseries. The aim of study was to determine the most effective and practical adventitious rooting (AR) protocol for successful vegetative production of E. manipuliflora. Two experiments (Expt.) were established in November and June to reveal the effects of different substances [perlit and perlit:sphagnum peat (1:1 v/v) in Expt.I and peat, peat:sand (1:1), cocopeat:sand (5:1) and perlite in Expt.II] and exogenous auxins including liquid (in Expt.I) and powdered (in Expt.II) formulations of IBA, NAA or combination of both. The results indicated E. manipuliflora cuttings taken in June and cultured in cocopeat:sand (5:1) mixture without any auxin treatment presented the highest survival (84%) and rooting (76%) performance. In addition, exogenous auxin usage is not essential for AR of E. manipuliflora cuttings. It can be used for the cuttings inserted in cocopeat-free media. But it exhibited reducing effect on rooting in cocopeat-based medium.

  • The Canary Islands
    The Canary Islands Naturetrek Tour Report 23 February – 2 March 2019 Canary Bellflower by Jessica Turner Mount Teide by Andrew Bray Euphorbia atropururea by Jessica Turner Barbary Partridge by Andrew Bray Report and images by Jessica Turner and Andrew Bray Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report The Canary Islands Tour participants: Andrew Bray and Jessica Turner (leaders) together with 16 Naturetrek clients Summary The Canary Islands may be well-known as a general tourist destination, but they contain a wealth of natural treasures, and we were fortunate to experience many of them. Their isolation has given rise to many endemic species and subspecies, of which the great views of Tenerife Blue Chaffinch in perfect light were a highlight for many. We marvelled over the flora, so different to that of mainland Europe, and enjoyed the various species of lizards, plus the butterflies and other invertebrates we encountered. The day on La Gomera was a delight, not least for the numbers of Cory’s Shearwaters, whales and dolphins, plus the White-faced Storm Petrels we encountered.
