  • Geraniums Each Year the National Garden Bureau Selects One fl Ower and One Vegetable to Be Showcased
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 17 Feb 2012 NGB’s Annual of the Year 2012: Geraniums Each year the National Garden Bureau selects one fl ower and one vegetable to be showcased. These crops are chosen because they are popular, easy-to-grow, widely adaptable, genetically diverse, and versatile. For 2012 they chose garden geraniums (Pelargonium spp.) Introduction and Nomenclature The bedding plants gardeners plant out in late spring and bring inside in autumn are commonly known as geraniums; but geraniums they are not. They are pelargoniums. True geraniums are the cranesbills, hardy North American and European herbaceous perennials; while pelargoniums are semi-tender or tender plants, mostly from South Africa, that have graced our gardens with their large fl owers for Geraniums are popluar bedding decades. plants. We have to remember that botany wasn’t an exact science in the 17th century when the fi rst geraniums and pelargoniums were introduced. So, based on the shape of their fruit, plant collectors generally lumped both together as “geranium.” To tackle the complex history of geranium or pelargonium, one has to confront the use of common names versus scientifi c ones. Scientifi c names give individuals a common language by which they could communicate with other people, no matter the country they are from or what their mother tongue might be. In 1753 the famous and infl uential Swedish botanist, Linnaeus, published his two-volume book called Species Pelargonium quercifolium fl ower (L) and leaf (R). Plantarum, in which he attempted to pull together the names and descriptions of all known plants.

    TECHNICAL REPORT Growth parameters of Pelargonium cucullatum: the influence of different concentrations of NUTRIFIED aided by mycorrhiza application. M.A. van der Burg, C.P. Laubscher1* F. Lewu Faculty of Applied Sciences, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, P.O.BOX 1906, Bellville 7535, South Africa. *Corresponding author. Tel.: +27 219595805 E-mail address:[email protected] ABSTRACT The beneficial effect of mycorrhiza on plant growth has often been related to nutrient uptake; yet little published information is available about mycorrhiza associations in horticulture in South Africa. This study investigated how much nutrients is needed in the growth and yield of Pelargonium cucullatum aided by mycorrhiza application in a hydroponic system. Fifty plants were grown in a deep-water hydroponic culture for 8 weeks. Plants were inoculated with BIOCULT™ Mycorrhizae at two weeks into the experiment with a repeat inoculation after one month. NUTRIFEED® was added at concentrations of 25g, 50g, 100g and 200g, while the control received only mycorrhiza treatment. The same treatments were replaced after hydroponic systems were flushed. Parameters assessed were fresh and dry shoots weights, fresh and dry roots weights, total fresh and dry weights, shoot height, root length and number of leaves. The results of the indicated that a concentration of 50 g of NUTRIFEED® can produce significant growth in P. cucullatum for most parameters measured. The implication of mycorrhiza in association with NUTRIFEED® in the amelioration of yield and growth parameters of P. cucullatum is discussed. Keywords: BIOCULT™, deep water culture system, Geraniaceae, horticulture, NUTRIFEED®, ornamental plants. 1 INTRODUCTION Plants depend on food produced through photosynthesis and through balanced fertilizer nutrition.

Doctoral Dissertations. 2257. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/2257 Predicting Pelargonium Responses to Climate Change in a Biodiversity Hotspot throughout South Africa Tanisha Marie Williams, PhD University of Connecticut, 2019 Climate change is causing major shifts in species distributions, which fundamentally alters the species composition and functioning of biological communities across the globe. Projections suggest that by 2100 up to one of every six species will become extinct. Such drastic changes will have significant impacts on biodiversity patterns and ecosystem functioning. Ecologists are faced with the pressing work of trying to understand how plants will respond to changing and increasingly stressful environments. To predict the long-term effects and magnitude of species responses, it is imperative that species adaptive responses are understood across the entirety of their geographic ranges. My dissertation employs an integrative approach to study the mechanisms driving interactions between functional traits, current and future distributions, historic phenological shifts, and species survival in changing environments. I use the highly diverse and charismatic flowering plant genus, Pelargonium L’Hér., as my model system. Chapter 1 assesses whether mean annual temperatures and flowering times have changed over the century and if the changes are correlated.

  • 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.

PRICE Department of Botany University of Georgia Athens, Georgia 30602 ABSTRACT The genus Pelargonium (Geraniaceae) exhibits tremendous variation in growth form. We apply a broadly defined concept of Bauplan in our study of growth form, architectural and anatomical features of early seedling development in the type subgenus. We analyze variation in these features within a phylogenetic framework based on sequence comparisons of internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA. Preliminary ITS sequence comparisons show strong support for two major clades. One major clade contains two subgroups, one consisting of three previously recognized sections of more or less woody shrubs and subshrubs (sections Pelargonium, Glaucophyllum and Campylia), and a second clade of five sections consisting of geophytes and branched stem-succulents (sections Hoarea, Ugularia, Poly­ actium, Cortusina and Otidia).

The new donations for 2017/8 are listed first followed by a separate list for seeds remaining from the 2016/7 list. The IGG reference numbers for this year start WHERE THEY LEFT OFF last time. This will mean in future a donation gets a permanent number which will make reference easier. The second important change is that packets of seed will be charged at 30p a packet plus a standard charge of £2.00 per order for postage wherever you live. Payment has also been standardised through Paypal. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY NOW! Please wait until I tell you what to pay. Orders should be sent by email to [email protected] Please list the IGG reference numbers. If a species has several donations, you can list several numbers joined by hyphens to indicate the donation preferred (eg. 71-74-72). There is no limit on packets ordered but only one per donation. Packets will contain a minimum of 2 seeds, so you have a better chance! Mostly there will be much more. Orders will be dealt with strictly in order of receipt. In due time, you will receive a reply telling you what you can have and how much to pay. Payment can be made using this link http://www.geraniaceae-group.org/society/seed- exchange/seed-exchange-members-only/ You will need to have registered on the website and established a password to enter this area.
