Velvet groundsel Roldana petasitis Family Asteraceae (daisy) Also known as Senecio petasitis Where is it originally from? Mexico What does it look like? Forms a large, much-branched shrub (<2.5 m high and wide). Large, soft leaves (10-20 cm diameter) are rounded in shape with slightly undulating edges. Both the upper and lower surfaces are covered in short hairs, giving them a velvety texture. Large clusters of small, yellow, daisy-like flowers, with a brownish-yellow centre (Jul-Nov) are followed by fluffy seed heads. Why is it weedy? Photo: Carolyn Lewis Forms dense cover and stems take root where they touch the ground, forming new plants, developing into a dense thicket. How does it spread? Spread via windborne seed and dumped garden waste to localised wild areas near towns and into forest margins. Stems take root where they touch the ground, forming new plants. What damage does it do? Spreads easily, forms new plants from stems, and shades out and suppresses native species and other desirable plants. Which habitats is it likely to invade? Forest margins, bush remnants, wetlands. Photo: Carolyn Lewis What can I do to get rid of it? 1. Pull up small plants when not in seed. 2. Cut larger plants back to ground level and paint stumps with picloram gel. Dispose of all plant material at a refuse transfer station. What can I do to stop it coming back? Check after six months for reseeding. Replant the area with dense cover to shade out germinating seedlings. Photo: Carolyn Lewis.

Muell. (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) Ekaterina D. Malenkova, Lyudmila V. Ozerova, Ivan A. Schanzer & Alexander C. Timonin Summary: Analyses of ITS1-2 data from a comprehensive sample of African succulent species of Senecio and related genera reveals that Senecio tropaeolifolius, though closely related to S. oxyriifolius, should be treated as a separate species. According to our results, it may be one of the parental species to S. kleiniiformis, a widely cultivated ornamental of uncertain hybrid origin. Keywords: Asteraceae, Senecioneae, taxonomy, systematics, Senecio kleiniiformis, ITS1-2 Senecio tropaeolifolius MacOwan ex F. Muell. is a widely cultivated succulent ornamental (Brickell 2003) whose taxonomic rank has remained uncertain so far. Its similarity to S. oxyriifolius DC. was mentioned in its first description (Mueller 1867) and Rowley (1994, 2002) rendered it as a subspecies of the latter one. However, Jeffrey (1986, 1992) treated these allopatric (Fig. 1) taxa, S. tropaeolifolius and S. oxyriifolius, as two separate species in the section Peltati. According to their descriptions, these two species differ mainly in their growth form, the number of involucral bracts of the capitula, the number of florets in the capitula, the presence/absence of ray florets and bristles on cypselae. All these characters are rather variable amongSenecio L. s. latiss. and their taxonomic value is questionable. Molecular data drastically changed the understanding of taxonomy and phylogeny of Senecio and related genera (Pelser et al.

Conservation through use: Lessons from the Mesoamerican dry forest This book examines the concept of ‘conservation through use’, using the conservation of tree species diversity in Mesoamerican tropical dry forest in Honduras and Mexico as a case study. It discusses the need to develop conservation strategies based both on a botanical determination of those species most in need of conservation and an Conservation through use: understanding of the role these trees play in local livelihoods. Based on a detailed analysis of smallholder farming systems in southern Honduras and coastal Oaxaca Lessons from the and a botanical survey of trees and shrubs in different land use systems in both study areas, the fi ndings confi rm the importance of involving the local population Mesoamerican dry forest in the management and conservation of Mesoamerican tropical dry forest.

Ecology of Old-Growth Forests in Chihuahua, México
THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE: ECOLOGY OF OLD-GROWTH FORESTS IN CHIHUAHUA, MÉXICO By Citlali Cortés-Montaño A dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Forest Science Northern Arizona University December 2011 Approved: Peter Z. Fulé, Ph.D., Chair Ernesto Alvarado-Celestino, Ph.D. Tina J. Ayers, Ph.D. Margaret M. Moore, Ph.D. José Villanueva-Díaz, Ph.D. Abstract THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE: ECOLOGY OF OLD-GROWTH FORESTS IN CHIHUAHUA, MÉXICO By Citlali Cortés-Montaño Old-growth forests are valuable but declining worldwide. México still holds large areas covered by temperate forests in the mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental, but few of these retain old-growth characteristics. These forests provide habitat for Thick- billed Parrots (Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha: Psittacidae; “guacamaya”), a CITES-listed endangered species. We studied four old-growth remnants in Mesa de las Guacamayas, a site in the Sierra Madre Occidental in Chihuahua, México, to assess the composition, structure, and age characteristics of the overstory, relating it to fire histories and continental and regional climatic data. We linked our findings to the habitat needs of Thick-billed Parrots reported by the literature, and we studied the β-diversity of the understory plant communities at these sites and related them to the composition, cover, density and fire regimes of the overstory. We found that frequent disturbance by surface fires appears to have contributed to maintaining open, diverse, and productive forests for at least 250 years. While climate was a historical driver of the fire regimes in this mountain range, humans appear to have played a role in the fire regime interruptions of the second half of the 20th century.

Some Botanical Highlights in March in the Garden
Some botanical highlights in March in the Garden The numbers refer to the gardens as shown on your map. Our tree Magnolias have reached perfection and you will see them as soon as you enter the carpark! Each year, as they grow bigger, they have more flowers. Last year, the ‘Beast from the East’ put pay to the flowering display but this time you can see white flowered Magnolia campbelli alba, stunning pink Magnolia campbelli Charles Raffill and pinky-mauve Magnolia campbellii mollicomata. Other tree magnolias will come into flower over the coming weeks. Also flowering now, earlier than usual, is the Hillier vintage Magnolia x soulangeana just beyond the Fig Pergola. On the South African Terrace (3) notice the bushes of yellow daisy flowered Honey Euryops, Euryops virgineus. This is an endemic of the fynbos of the southern coastal areas of South Africa and the sweetly scented, nectar-rich daisy flowers are very attractive to pollinating insects. At a lower level on the South African Terrace, below the main footpath, there is a bush of the pink flowered Myrtle-leaved Milkwort, Polygala myrtifolia which comes from the same area of South Africa as the Euryops. It is called September bush in South Africa because the peak flowering occurs in their springtime. The attractive flowers, which close at night, look a bit like pea flowers but belong to quite a different family. You can find wild milkworts growing in the country but they are much smaller plants. The Common Milkwort grows on our downs and can have blue, pink or white flowers.
