No. 400019/11 February 2016 Additional lane N4 (K67 to R512): vegetation scan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An additional lane to the northern portion of the N4, between the K67 (Ga-Rankuwa Interchange) (km 266.3) to the R512 (Brits West Interchange) (km 238.2) is proposed. Currently, this section for the N4 comprise a single lane in each direction, with a shoulder on either side. This section is about 30km in length and the western extent is situated in the North West Province, while the eastern extent is situated in Gauteng. A second carriageway will be constructed on the northern side of this section of the N4 to form a dual carriageway road. The works will include the construction of the second carriageway with two 3.7 m wide lanes, a 1 m fast shoulder and a 2.5 m slow shoulder. Water crossings over the perennial Krokodil River and the Tolwane (Sand) River will also need to be constructed, as well as over non- perennial rivers and cement irrigation canals. All the minor storm water culverts along this section of road will be extended to accommodate the new carriageway. The proposed works will remain within the existing road reserve, so no additional land will be required. No special fencing is required. The construction will also include the upgrade of the Road P35-1 (R511) interchange. Environamic Environmental Consultants appointed Dimela Eco Consulting to scan the vegetation within the existing servitude and at the proposed interchanges for any sensitivities such as protected plant and tree species. The deliverables and methodology were as follows: Research the regional background information pertaining to this section of the N4 route such as The deliverables and methodology were as follows: Research the regional background information pertaining to this section of the N4 route such as the North West and the Gauteng Conservation Plan, vegetation types and threatened ecosystems, recent land use maps as well as aerial imagery; List the threatened or protected plant and tree species that were historically recorded in the area and that have a likelihood of colonising or persisting in the servitudes; Based on the information gathered, undertake a site survey of the servitude. The sampling areas will focus on potential sensitive areas or habitats to threatened plants (e.g. wetland, river crossings, koppies), recording protected trees and any other sensitivities that may be encountered within the road verges; Map the potential sensitivities and recommend management objectives to protect and conserve potential sensitive areas / species; and Provide the coordinates of protected trees species / threatened species recorded in the sample areas in tabulated format. The assessment entailed a literature review which included the short listing plants of conservation concern that could potentially occur along the servitude, a visit to the site and reporting. Vegetation studies should be conducted during the growing season of all plant species that may potentially occur. This may require more than one season’s survey with two visits undertaken preferably during November i February 2016 Additional lane N4 (K67 to R512): vegetation scan and February. However, due to the historical impacts within the servitude, this assessment report relied on a single site visit undertaken on the 1st of February 2016, after some summer rains has fallen, in an otherwise warm and unusually dry season. The N4 section assessed is situated within the Savanna Biome of South Africa and traverses the original extent of the Marikana Thornveld vegetation type, which is listed as an Endangered vegetation type. However, the proposed project will make use of an existing servitude and areas historically disturbed by the construction of and maintenance to the N4. The majority of the servitude comprised species poor secondary vegetation with little or no conservation potential. These low sensitivity vegetation, prior to disturbances, formed part of the Endangered Marikana Thornveld. However, due to the historical and continuous impacts on the vegetation within the servitude, the vegetation are not conservation worthy and cannot significantly contribute to the conservation of the Marikana Thornveld. Within the servitude assessed, landscape features such as the river crossings and areas with high rocky cover, were classified as being of medium sensitivity. Rocky areas occurred within a small portion of the servitude and although no plant species of conservation concern were recorded here, it does provide suitable habitat to some of the species and support a higher species diversity and was also classified as being of medium sensitivity. When these areas are cleared for construction, excavated succulents or bulbs should be replanted in the subsequent servitude. Provincially protected geophytes (Crinum lugardiae and Gladiolus species) as well as trees (Cussonia paniculata and Spirostachys africana) were recorded in or directly adjacent to the servitudes. The provincially protected species localities are also considered to be of medium sensitivity. However, these species could be removed and relocated into the resulting servitude or other suitable habitat, with authorisation from the relevant provincial authorities.

We report here for the first time the occurrence of a member of the genus in China, Stillingia lineata subsp. pacifica. The distribution of the genus in China is apparently narrow, known only from Pingzhou and Wanzhou Islands of the Wanshan Archipelago in the South China Sea, which is close to the Pearl River estuary. This study updates our knowledge on the geographic distribution of the genus, and provides new palynological data as well. Key words: Island, Hippomaneae, South China Sea, Stillingia lineata Introduction During the last decade, hundreds of new plant species or new species records have been added to the flora of China. Nevertheless, newly described or newly recorded plant genera are not discovered and reported very often, suggesting that botanical expedition and plant survey at the generic level may be advanced in China. As far as we know, only six and eight angiosperm genera respectively have been newly described or newly recorded from China within the last ten years (Qiang et al.

If you drive north from Fourways (Johannesburg), stay on the R511 all the way. Remember to look out for the left-turn which the R511 takes a few kms after Diepsloot/Dainfern. Continue on the R511 for about 20 kms. Just as Hartbeespoort Dam comes into view at the top of Saartjiesnek, proceed down the hill for 0.5 km and look for our entrance, on the right hand side. Turn in here and take the sand road back to the top of the hill. If you're coming from Randburg along the R512, proceed to the Broederstroom Farm Stall T-junction and then turn right. Drive about 9 kms to the R511 (passing Pelindaba on your right) and see the signs for Hartbeespoort. Turn left onto the R511 and proceed up the hill until the Dam comes into view. As above, proceed down the hill for 0.5 kms and look for our entrance on the right hand side. Turn in here and take the sand road back to the top. From the centre of Pretoria, take the "original" N4 heading west and come off at the second Pelindaba exit. We are then about 2 kms along the R511 towards Hartbeespoort, just follow the signs. If travelling from Pretoria's northern suburbs, take the "other N4" heading west (very confusing!) towards Rustenberg and come off at the Brits exit.

  • Mothers, Markets and Medicine Hanna Lindh
    Mothers, markets and medicine The role of traditional herbal medicine in primary women and child health care in the Dar es Salaam region, Tanzania Hanna Lindh Degree project in biology, Bachelor of science, 2015 Examensarbete i biologi 15 hp till kandidatexamen, 2015 Biology Education Centre, Uppsala University Supervisors: Sarina Veldman and Hugo de Boer 1 Abstract Traditional medicine is still the most common primary healthcare used in Tanzania, especially among women. The ethnobotanical studies performed in Tanzania have not explored women’s traditional medicine, with the result that we do not know that much about it, including if women’s usage of medicinal plants create a threat against the medicinal flora’s biodiversity or not. Field studies consisting of interviews and collections of medicinal plants were carried out in the Dar es Salaam region in Tanzania before identifying the collected specimens by DNA barcoding, literature and morphology in Uppsala, Sweden. The 33 informants belonged to 15 different ethnic groups and 79% of them had migrated to Dar es Salaam. A total of 249 plant species were mentioned for women’s healthcare and 140 for children’s healthcare. The medicinal plants frequently reported as used for women’s health and childcare during structured interviews and free-listing exercises were Senna occidentalis/ Cassia abbreviata, Zanthoxylum sp., Clausena anisata, Acalypha ornata and Ximenia sp. The most salient uses of medicinal plants by women were during pregnancy, childbirth, menstruation, to induce abortion, and for cleansing infants and treating convulsions in children. Most of the fresh specimens were collected from disturbance vegetation. The informants having most interview answers in common were the market vendors, healers and herbalists and they were the only informants that mentioned species listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
