Description Description Medium to large evergreen tree, latex milky. Bark smooth, grey and brown. Stem straight branching horizontally. Young branches with dense brownish hairs. Leaves alternate or spiralled, crowded toward branchlet ends, leathery, glossy greyish green and hairless above, under surface densely covered with silvery hairs often tinged with brown, usually with pointed tips, tightly folded upward along the midrib when young, margin slightly wavy. Flowers white to cream, about 5 mm long, without stalks, solitary or in groups of 2 or 3 in the axils of the leaves (Nov.-Mar.). Fruit a red acorn-shaped berry. 1 of 4 2016/12/14 03:32 PM Englerophytum natalense | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/englerophytum-natalense A related and similar species Englerophytum magalismontanum [= Bequaertiodendron magalismontanum ], a small to medium-sized evergreen tree, has elliptic to narrowly obovate, dark green leaves usually densely covered with reddish brown to silvery hairs below and with rounded tips, and with flowers usually on short stalks and in compact clusters on young and old wood. Manilkara discolor can be confused with E. natalense but it is usually a bigger tree with rough bark, often growing in drier situations, and its leaf tips are usually more rounded. Conservation Status Status Englerophytum natalense is not listed on the Tree Species Protected List in terms of National Forest Act 84 of 1998. In the Red Data List, this taxon was not selected in any one of four screening processes for highlighting potential taxa of conservation concern for detailed assessment and was hence given an automated status of Least Concern. Distribution and habitat Distribution description Englerophytum natalense occurs from the Eastern Cape northwards through KwaZulu-Natal and Swaziland, with isolated populations in Mpumalanga, eastern Zimbabwe and East Africa. It occurs in forest, particularly in subtropical areas, often in groves. In the understorey of dry riverine forest below the mistbelt, in mixed evergreen forest, ravine forest, coastal forest, often in groves, at forest margins, in clearings and in Afromontane forest. Derivation of name and historical aspects History Englerophytum meaning Engler's tree, after Prof. H.G.A. Engler [1844-1930], a German botanist and renowned authority on African plants; natalense from Natal, now KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). Ecology Ecology This plant provides food for the larvae of butterflies Euptera pluto kinugnana, Pseudacraea boisduvalii trimeni, P.eurytus imitator and P. lucretia . Fruits eaten by people, monkeys and birds. Sunbirds feed on flowers. 2 of 4 2016/12/14 03:32 PM Englerophytum natalense | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/englerophytum-natalense Uses Use An attractive garden plant. Timber is of a good quality, strong and durable; it is used for hut building, and is suitable for fencing poles, implement handles, milking buckets and general carpentry. Good shade and container plant. Growing Englerophytum natalense Grow Grow it from seed. As a garden species this is an ideal small tree that will grow in partial to deep shade. It will not take any frost and is fairly slow-growing. However, the slowness must not discourage you from 3 of 4 2016/12/14 03:32 PM Englerophytum natalense | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/englerophytum-natalense using this species. A 4 m tall tree can begin fruiting after about its sixth season. As a landscape feature use this species in groves or as a single accent specimen. Seed cleaned of its flesh will germinate fairly quickly in about two to three weeks after sowing. Pot them up into their own individual growing bags and wait for a few years. The plants respond well to feed and will grow well if given enough water, heat and food. References Boon, R. 2010. Pooley's Trees of eastern South Africa: A complete guide , edn 2.

  • The Potential of Agroforestry in the Conservation of High Value Indigenous Trees: a Case Study of Umzimvubu District, Eastern Cape
    THE POTENTIAL OF AGROFORESTRY IN THE CONSERVATION OF HIGH VALUE INDIGENOUS TREES: A CASE STUDY OF UMZIMVUBU DISTRICT, EASTERN CAPE. SUPERVISOR: PROF. MIKE J. LAWES (FOREST BIODIVERSITY PROGRAMME) MICHAEL O. MUKOLWE MASTERS PROGRAMME IN ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT UNIVERSITY OF NATAL PIETERMARITZBURG JULY 1999 This project was carried out within the Forest Biodiversity Programme School of Botany and Zoology University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg BiODiVERSiTY PROGRAMME UNIVERSITY OF NATAL DEDICATION This work dedicated to Messrs. Toshihiro Shima and Seiichi Mishima, and to my beloved wife Anne Florence Asiko and children Marion Akinyi, Fabian Omondi and Stephen Ochieng "Stevo". 11 ABSTRACT South Africa is not well endowed with indigenous forests which are now known to be degraded and declining at unknown rates. This constitutes a direct threat to quality oflife ofthe resource-poor rural households who directly depend on them and to ecological integrity. It is also recognised that the declining tree resources, particularly the high value indigenous tree species, are increasingly threatened by a number ofgrowing subsistence demands. This emphasised the need to cultivate and conserve high-value tree species such as Englerophytum natalense, Ptaeroxylon obliquum and Millettia grandis on-farm in Umzimvubu District. Agroforestry is recognised as a viable option for optimising land productivity, reducing pressure on the indigenous forests, ensuring a sustainable supply ofdesired tree products and services and improving the quality oflife ofthe resource-poor rural households. This Thesis examines whether agroforestry in Umzimvubu District and similar areas ofSouth Africa has the potential for addressing these needs. It recognises that for successful initiation, implementation and adoption, agroforestry should be considered at two levels, namely, household and institutional.

For most groups however, methodological protocols are still missing. Here Gene capture we identified531 monocopy genes and 227 Short Tandem Repeats (STR) markers and tested them on Sapotaceae STR using target capture and NGS. The probes were designed using two genome skimming samples from Capur­ Phylogenetics odendron delphinense and Bemangidia lowryi, both from the Tseboneae tribe, as well as the published Manilkara Population genetics Species tree zapota transcriptome from the Sapotoideae tribe. We combined our probes with 261 additional ones previously Tropical trees published and designed for the entire angiosperm group. On a total of 792 low-copy genes, 638 showed no signs of paralogy and were used to build a phylogeny of the family with 231 individuals from all main lineages.

PhytoKeys 175: 151–174. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.175.61467 Abstract Covering 560.14 hectares in the south-east of Benin, the Ewe-Adakplame Relic Forest (EARF) is a micro- refugium that shows insular characteristics within the Dahomey Gap. It is probably one of the last rem- nants of tropical rain forest that would have survived the late Holocene dry period. Based on intensive field investigations through 25 plots (10 × 50 m size) and matching of herbarium specimens, a checklist of 185 species of vascular plant belonging to 54 families and 142 genera is presented for this forest. In ad- dition to the name for each taxon, we described the life form following Raunkiaer’s definitions, chorology as well as threats to habitat.
