ELBS Newsletter JULY 2017 NEWS East London LETTER Bromeliad Society July 2017 South Africa Established: 25 July 2009 Our aim is to promote and encourage awareness and interest in Bromeliads in East London and all of South AfricaAfrica!!!! ELBS is an Affiliated Society of Bromeliad Society International June Meeting And now for something completely different! We met at the home of Wyndham Whitfield who very kindly opened his home, garden and orchid houses to us to explore and enjoy. Due to his recent experience with the poisoning of the water hyacinth on the Nahoon River from where he gets his water, I was surprised to see that some beauties have survived, but not without a lot of hard work being involved plus repotting and the pain of having to let go all the orchids that did not survive. It truly was a devastating experience for Wyndham. Wyndham gave a very interesting talk on orchids, an overview of where they originally come from and the main types plus some crosses, which I would not even try to name here, so enjoy the photos of just a few samples of Wyndham’s orchids and Our host, Wyndham Whitfield with those of you who know about them, some of his gorgeous orchids. will no doubt recognise the beauties pictured here. He a l s o covered what is basically required a n d which are the most suitable to grow in our East London climate. Everyone has always told me that cymbidiums were so easy to bring into flower here, but sometimes our night time temperatures don’t go down low enough. I have moved them, so hopefully will give One of four of Wyndham’s shade houses. them a fright this year and they will respond! So I am going to give a cattleya a try. Next Meeting: : You are invited to our 9th Birthday Bash, AGM and Fun Quiz !! Sunday 30th July at 2.00 pm. Hosted by Trevor and Lyn Wegner at 18 Wentworth Road, Sunnyridge. Don’t forget your chair!! East London Bromeliad Society South Africa July 2017 Page 1 When you are a plant person, you just can’t help being drawn towards other interesting species in the plant world. It is so tempting…. We do have to draw the line somewhere though, especially if you are obsessed with bromeliads already. But a few won’t do An orchid without its flowers but still any harm! Surely? Many of our members started out as orchid collectors! amazing with its stunning foliage. The thing is to have the time and dedication to be able to look after them well and get them to reach their full potential, just like we do with bromeliads. So it was something different this month, Wyndham has lots of very interesting plants in his shade houses and bromeliads in his garden to enjoy, evidence of many, many years of hard work between him and Sally who built their house on the banks of the Nahoon River in the later 80’s when they arrived in East London from Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Show and Tell Lyn Wegner showed how rats had destroyed an aechmea and a neoregelia. This is a new problem and she wondered if it is due to the dry rainless spell we are experiencing. Barbara Black showed how the dassies have chewed her Tillandsia gardneri and T. tectorum, plus new Chewed off tilly’s ! growth on certain shrubs, like Murraya exotica, their large hibiscus tree and Acalypha , to name a few of their shrubs that have been denuded as delicious treats!

Library Book Review - Brenda Wegner International Checklist of Bromeliad Hybrids. This book was published by THE BROMELIAD SOCIETY, INC. in 1979. A list of all known hybrids was needed to ensure an orderly system for naming and recording hybrids being developed. It contains, so far as could be determined, all hybrids from 1866 to December 31, 1978. Member News • We welcome new country members, Irene Miles from Pretoria, and Japie Esterhuysen from Cape Town, we hope you both have a long and rewarding association with our society. Japie is also a member of Bromeliad Society International, which brings our BSI membership total to 11.

Orchids being one of the primary companion plants of epiphytic bromeliads has been an interest of mine for many years. I am sure that all members enjoyed the walk through Wyndham’s shade houses of orchids and appreciated his beautifully set garden on the banks of the Nahoon River. We are looking forward to celebrating our 9th birthday bash at the end of July Betty Heunis and Lyn Odendaal with which promises to be loads of fun. I promise to keep the formalities of the AGM Wyndham in another of his four shade to the minimum so that we have more time for fun and celebrations at this houses. special event. The dry winter in East London is almost over and I am sure that most of us are eagerly awaiting Spring and hopefully some rain. I have started the endless task of splitting and repotting bromeliads. I always start with my favourites moving on to the more 'normal' ones. Well, enjoy whatever you are doing in the garden, until next time. HAPPY BROMMING. From the Committee • From all the members of ELBS SA, we extend our heartfelt good wishes to Grace Goode in Australia, on the occasion of her 100th Birthday on 23 July. Two (2) greats of the Bromeliad World • Another reminder, any members interested in standing on the committee? at Sunny Broms conference – 2017, The committee of the last 8 years, welcome new nominations for all the Grace Goode, OAM and Chester positions. If you wish to nominate someone please ensure you discuss it with Skotak. Below, a lovely photo of Grace in years gone by. them beforehand. Betty Heunis has volunteered to join our merry band! Our AGM will take place at the next meeting, which will also be our 9th Birthday Celebration! Yes, can you believe it? 9 years old already. Lots of fizz ananas (champagne and pineapple juice) guaranteed this year! • The society will be participating in the Pioneer Nursery Spring Fair again this year. To be held from Friday 11 - Sunday 13 August. It will not be on the large scale that it was last year, but we still would like members to contribute an especially good looking bromeliad from your collection if you would like to. It will be well looked after for the duration of the show. You will need to bring it to the nursery on the Thursday and collect it on Sunday East London Bromeliad Society South Africa July 2017 Page 3 afternoon or Monday morning. Although it will be a smaller display, it will still be a knock out one! We will also need volunteers to do shifts to man the stall, sell raffle tickets and provide bromeliad related information to the interested public. There will also be a talk, not sure which day yet. More about this from Brenda Wegner, our Events Convener at the next meeting and via e-mail. • A note to the country members: there are a few raffle wins that have not been chosen to date. The committee have decided that if there is no response from the winner or a choice made after 3 months, you will forfeit your win. Who doesn’t want a surprise in the post!

    Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey for 2008. Edited by Neal L. Evenhuis & Lucius G. Eldredge. Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 107: 3–18 (2010) New plant records from O‘ahu for 2008 1 DANIELLE FRoHLICH 2 & ALEx LAU 2 (o‘ahu Early Detection, Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817-2704, USA; emails: [email protected], [email protected]) We document 19 new naturalized records, 8 new state records, and 14 new island records in 23 families. In addition to our own collections, we report on records of naturalization noted by other agencies during 2008. This article documents 10 naturalizing species in the Bromeliaceae, a previously underrepresented group in the naturalized flora of Hawai‘i. Also included are three species in the orchidaceae. In the past, both families were believed to be less likely to nat - uralize in Hawai‘i, based upon their general tendency to rely on specialist pollinators not documented as present here. However, it is important to note that both these families con - tain species that are self-fertile and wind-dispersed. As indicated by the naturalized records documented here, these biological characteristics have imparted an advantage to these species and increased the possibility of their naturalization. For this reason, home growers are encouraged to monitor their plants for signs of naturalization and to avoid species that are known to be, or appear to be, self-compatible and easily dispersed. Information regarding the formerly known distribution of flowering plants is based on the Manual of the flowering plants of Hawai‘i (Wagner et al.

  • Information on Brazilian Ornamental Species of the Genus Tillandsia L
    Information on Brazilian Ornamental Species of the Genus Tillandsia L. (Bromeliaceae) Maria Esmeralda Soares Payão Demattê CNPq. Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias/Unesp Departamento de Produção Vegetal, Via de Acesso Prof. Paulo Donato Castellane, s/n CEP 14884-900, Jaboticabal, SP Brazil Keywords: Tillandsia dura, Tillandsia gardneri, Tillandsia geminiflora, Tillandsia stricta, Tillandsia tenuifolia, bromeliads. Abstract Bromeliads that accumulate water in the central part of the plant represent a risk of creating Aedes aegypti larvae. This feature has contributed to a decrease of consumption in the internal market and poor returns to growers. Tillandsia species do not accumulate water on leaves, and could be an interesting alternative for bromeliad growers. At the São Paulo State University, Jaboticabal, SP, Brazil, some native Tillandsia species are being studied for their ornamental value: T. dura, T. gardneri, T. geminiflora, T. stricta and T. tenuifolia. The information provided is based on literature and on some unpublished experimental results obtained in studies on biometry, cultivation, growing media and fertilization. INTRODUCTION Some Bromeliaceae accumulate water in the central part of the crown formed by leaves, and for this reason they are considered as a favorable medium for development of Aedes aegypti larvae. The disease transmitted by this mosquito is presently a great problem in Brazil. As a consequence, the consumption of ornamental bromeliads has decreased dramatically, causing heavy losses for the growers. Cultivation of Tillandsia species could be an interesting alternative, because they do not accumulate water in a crown of leaves. Most Brazilian species of Tillandsia are not yet cultivated on a commercial scale. Cultural methods are not well defined, and are variable according to the species.

  • The Magnitude and Extent of Edge Effects on Vascular Epiphytes
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The magnitude and extent of edge efects on vascular epiphytes across the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Edicson Parra‑Sanchez* & Cristina Banks‑Leite Edge efects are ubiquitous landscape processes infuencing over 70% of forest cover worldwide. However, little is known about how edge efects infuence the vertical stratifcation of communities in forest fragments. We combined a spatially implicit and a spatially explicit approach to quantify the magnitude and extent of edge efects on canopy and understorey epiphytic plants in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Within the human‑modifed landscape, species richness, species abundance and community composition remained practically unchanged along the interior‑edge gradient, pointing to severe biotic homogenisation at all strata. This is because the extent of edge efects reached at least 500 m, potentially leaving just 0.24% of the studied landscape unafected by edges. We extrapolated our fndings to the entire Atlantic Forest and found that just 19.4% of the total existing area is likely unafected by edge efects and provide suitable habitat conditions for forest‑dependent epiphytes. Our results suggest that the resources provided by the current forest cover might be insufcient to support the future of epiphyte communities. Preserving large continuous ‘intact’ forests is probably the only efective conservation strategy for vascular epiphytes. Te world’s old-growth forests currently account for only 18–24% of total forest cover1,2. In human-modifed forests, habitat disturbance manifests itself through changes in habitat quality and area, connectivity, and impor- tantly, edge efects3. Edges are the boundaries between two diferent habitats4, and edge efects can promote changes in abiotic conditions5 that disturb forest dynamics on either side of the edge, resulting in both positive and negative efects on biota5–9.

NO SEMIÁRIDO PARAIBANO Thaynara de Sousa Silva; José Iranildo Miranda de Melo Universidade Estadual da Paraíba, Centro de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde, Departamento de Biologia, Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brasil, CEP 58429-500; [email protected] INTRODUÇÃO Bromeliaceae pertence à ordem Poales (APG IV), representando uma das principais famílias de monocotiledôneas. Está composta por cerca de 3.200 espécies em 58 gêneros, com distribuição predominantemente neotropical, à exceção de Pittcairnia feliciana, encontrada na costa Oeste do continente africano (LUTHER, 2008; SMITH; DOWNS, 1974). O leste do Brasil constitui um dos principais centros de diversidade da família (WANDERLEY et al., 2007), estando representada no território brasileiro por 1.348 espécies em 44 gêneros, das quais cerca de 90% são endêmicas do país (BFG 2015). As espécies de Bromeliaceae apresentam elevada diversidade ecológica (MANETTI et al., 2009) e exibem uma combinação de qualidades que favorecem sua sobrevivência em condições fisicamente muito exigentes (BENZING 2000). A presença de tricomas absorventes, suculência, represamento foliar e metabolismo CAM são algumas das estratégias que permitem seu sucesso em, por exemplo, ambientes submetidos ao stress hídrico (HORRES et al., 2007), como ocorre na extensão Semiárida do Brasil. O semiárido brasileiro, área caracterizada por apresentar precipitação média anual inferior a 800 mm, índice de aridez de até 0,5 e risco de seca maior que 60% (BRASIL, 2007), abrange oito estados da região Nordeste e a parte setentrional de Minas Gerais, Brasil, incluindo mais de 20% dos municípios de todo o território nacional, predominantemente recobertos pelos domínios de Caatinga e Cerrado (ASA, 2016).

P. 199; 13506-900; [email protected]; Rio Claro - SP - Brasil ABSTRACT This work studied the morphology and post-seminal development of seeds of Tillandsia gardneri Lindl., T. streptocarpa Baker, and T. stricta Sol. ex Sims (Bromeliaceae) from the “Campos Gerais”, State of Paraná, Southern Brazil. The seeds (ca. 2.0 mm long) presented plumose appendages at their micropylar end, an important structure in the taxonomy of the family since it represented an elaborate apparatus allowing effective wind- dispersal. Seeds germinated after circa twenty days. The haustorial cotyledon, responsible for the seedling nutrition, appeared first during the germination process. No cataphyll or primary roots developed. A small tank came along in the seedling, formed by the base of the sheath of the first leaf, which overlapped that of the second leaf. This tank can store water and litter. The adventitious roots developed later.
