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.

  • Invasive Plant Management on the Santa Lucia Preserve
    Invasive Plant Management on The Santa Lucia Preserve: A Landowner’s Guide Preserve Member Rick Griffith and the streamside meadow he is reclaiming from broom and hemlock. Spring 2017 Updated April 2018 Invasive weeds are on the march throughout California, jeopardizing the beauty and biodiversity of the land, damaging streams and watersheds, and increasing the risk of uncontrolled wildfire. Here on The Preserve, the Santa Lucia Conservancy, Santa Lucia Preserve Community Service District, the Ranch and Golf Clubs, and Preserve landowners and neighbors are teaming up on weed abatement activities, and we could use your help. In particular, you can support this effort by taking action against four top priority weed species that are increasing fire fuels and posing a threat to our native plants and animals. The care shown by Preserve owners and landscaper contractors in implementing the Prohibited Plant List (attached) has been remarkably effective for avoiding impacts seen on neighboring properties. However, some of the most aggressive weeds are still finding their way into our Homelands, Openlands and Wildlands. This guide outlines how to identify our top weeds of concern, their threats to The Preserve, and Conservancy-approved invasive weed treatments for Homelands and Openlands. When working in the Openlands, following these guidelines is necessary to protect people, sensitive habitat and wildlife. Conservancy staff are always available to assist in assessing and addressing your weed challenges. These are the four ‘weeds types’ of particular concern on The Preserve at this time: 1.'French Broom' Genista monspessulana 2.’Poison Hemlock’ Conium maculata 3. 'Invasive Thistles’ Carduus spp., 4.’Stinkwort’ Dittrichia graveolens Silybum sp., Circium spp.

  • Bell Heather Erica Cinerea
    Bell heather Erica cinerea Family Ericaceae (heath) Also known as Heath, Scotch heather Where is it originally from? Western Europe What does it look like? Long-lived, low growing (<30 cm), bushy shrub with small needle-like leaves arranged in groups of three around stems. Bell-shaped, mostly purple (sometimes pink or white) flowers (6 mm long, Dec-Feb) produce large amounts of seed in mature plants. Are there any similar species? Calluna vulgaris Photo: Trevor James Why is it weedy? Forms dense mats, suckers and seeds profusely, and is faster growing than its subalpine competitors. Tolerates cold, high to low rainfall, semi-shade, and poor soils, but is intolerant of heavy shade. How does it spread? Mature plants produce large amounts of seeds that are viable for a long time (30-40 years). Seed spread via gravity, wind, animals, ornamental trade. What damage does it do? Adversely impacts environmental values of rocky outcrops, low stature shrub land and tussock communities in the hill and high country by competing with native species such as flax and snow Photo: Trevor James tussock. Loss of production from pastoral agriculture is also a possibility if left uncontrolled in the hill and high country. Has allelopathic properties, especially affecting grasses, and may cause patches of bare soil as a result that are vulnerable to further weed invasion or erosion. Which habitats is it likely to invade? Grows on hillsides, cliffs, dry slopes, sea cliffs heaths, rocky ground, woods, frequently disturbed sites and tussock grassland. Can tolerate acidic, waterlogged soils, has slight salt tolerance and frost resistant.

  • 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.
