(Strelitziaceae), a native of South Africa, is newly recorded as a sparingly naturalised weed for New South Wales and represents new family, generic and species records for the state. Descriptions, notes and identification key are provided for the family, genus and species. Introduction Strelitzia nicolai Regel & Körn. (Giant White Bird of Paradise or Natal Wild Banana; Strelitziaceae), a native of South Africa, is a common horticultural subject in eastern Australia. Recently a small colony of plants was discovered at Minnie Water (c. 60 km NNE of Coffs Harbour, North Coast, New South Wales). The colony is of note as some plants were 8 m tall (suggesting they had been there for some time) and that they were setting viable seed. Seedlings were found within this population and Milne and Luxton have observed that the species is being found in increasing numbers on council land and in National Parks of the area. -
Impala to Matubatuba Substation: Vegetation Impact Report
Proposed Lower uMkhomazi Pipeline Project Terrestrial Biodiversity Report Prepared for NM Environmental by GJ McDonald and L Mboyi 07 February 2018 External Review and Amendment J Maivha March 2018 Proposed Lower uMkomazi Pipeline Project Terrestrial Biodiversity Report Executive summary Khuseli Mvelo Consulting was appointed to conduct a terrestrial biodiversity impact assessment as part of the environmental assessment and authorisation process for the proposed Lower uMkhomazi Pipeline Project, within eThekwini Municipality. The proposed development is situated in an area which has either been transformed or impacted upon by commercial and small-scale agricultural activities and alien plant invasion to a greater or lesser extent. Such vegetation as is found is often of a secondary nature where cane fields have been allowed to become fallow and these disturbed and secondary habitats are substantially invaded by forbs and woody species. Near-natural vegetation is limited and may be found along water courses and certain roads. Local sensitivities - vegetation Plants protected provincially The following specially protected species will be affected by the proposed development: Aloe amiculata (Liliaceae/Asphodelaceae) found at and around 30°11'27.09"S/ 30°45'46.30"E, Freesia laxa (Iridaceae) found at WTW1, Kniphofia sp. (Liliaceae/Asphodelaceae) found at both WTW1 and WTW2. These will require a permit from Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife to be translocated. Specially protected species within the general area such as Millettia grandis, Dioscorea cotinifolia (Dioscoreaceae) and Ledebouria ovatifolia (Liliaceae/Hyacinthaceae) will require the developer to apply to the relevant competent authority for permits to move or destroy such species (as appropriate) should they be encountered during construction. -

Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana. -

The Bird of Paradise Produces Spectacular Garden Flowers With
The Bird of Paradise produces spectacular garden flowers with brilliant orange and blue petals, and has large, bluish-green leathery leaves, not unlike those of bananas. In fact, until recently, Strelitzia was classified as a genus within the Musaceae, the Banana family, and was only recently placed in the Strelitziaceae. Strelitzia is a native of the Cape Province of South Africa where the flowers are visited by Sunbirds, but not pollinated by them. Sunbirds steal nectar without contributing to pollination. The nectary is covered by convoluted bases of petals which reduce nectar theft by sunbirds, but are probably more effective at deterring nectar theft by insects. However, another bird, the Weaver Bird, does pollinate Strelitzia, visiting the flowers, perching on the blue petal and contacting both anthers and stigma. Strelitzia reginae in its native habitat in South Africa grows on river banks and cleared areas of coastal scrub. The first Strelitzia plants were brought to Australia by sailing ships in the early days of European settlement so they have been popular with Australian gardeners seemingly forever. However, if you are tempted to plant one at home, make sure you plant it in a location from which you will never, ever need to move it. Strelitzia plants are like icebergs, only a small part is visible above the ground. You may well need a bobcat or even a bulldozer to remove an old, established plant. The three genera in the family Strelitziaceae have an interesting distribution. Strelitzia (5 species) occur in southern Africa, Ravenala madagascariensis, the Travellers’ Palm, comes from Madagascar and Phenakospermum guianense can be found in the Amazon basin of South America. -
