SIGNATURE: DATE: Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za PATHOGENS ASSOCIATED WITH DISEASES OF PROTEA, LEUCOSPERMUM ANDLEUCADENDRONSPP. SUMMARY The manuscript consists of six chapters that represent research on different diseases and records of new diseases of the Proteaceae world-wide. The fungal descriptions presented in this thesis are not effectively published, and will thus be formally published elsewhere in scientific journals. Chapter one is a review that gives a detailed description of the major fungal pathogens of the genera Protea, Leucospermum and Leucadendron, as reported up to 1996. The pathogens are grouped according to the diseases they cause on roots, leaves, stems and flowers, as well as the canker causing fungi. In chapter two, several new fungi occurring on leaves of Pro tea, Leucospermum, Telopea and Brabejum collected from South Africa, Australia or New Zealand are described. The following fungi are described: Cladophialophora proteae, Coniolhyrium nitidae, Coniothyrium proteae, Coniolhyrium leucospermi,Harknessia leucospermi, Septoria prolearum and Mycosphaerella telopeae spp. nov. Furthermore, two Phylloslicla spp., telopeae and owaniana are also redecribed. The taxonomy of the Eisinoe spp.

Spring Brings Many Opportunities to Celebrate with Exotic Proteaceae
- Advertisement - Spring brings many opportunities to celebrate with exotic proteaceae February 28, 2012 Diana Roy When spring arrives, many opportunities for celebrating are at hand. Consider the months of March, April and May with International Women’s Day (March 8), Administrative Professionals Day (April 25) and Mother’s Day (May 13) as well as St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) and Easter (April 8). All these occasions provide the perfect opportunity to give and to enjoy flowers. Flowers say so much. Their color, texture, form and combination tell a story and create a mood. This spring, more consumers will seek an exotic mood with gorgeous proteaceae. The possibilities are endless with approximately 73 genera and more than 1,500 species in the proteaceae family, and from time to time a new species is discovered. Adding to the intrigue of this plant family is the ever-increasing number of cultivars being developed. These cultivars or hybrids often have significant advantages because they are usually developed and grown with the intent to satisfy the cut-flower industry with better colors, longer and straighter stems, and increased vase life. Some of the most popular and best-known genera of the proteaceae are Banksia, Grevillea, Leucadendron, Leucospermum Pincushion and Protea, the one for which this family is named. Each of these unique members has a significant number of species, Banksia with approximately 75, 1 / 2 Grevillea 273, Leucadendron 80, Leucospermum 48 and Protea with 136 species. Another thing to consider is just how different the various members of this family are. It is amazing that the spidery flower of a Grevillea, the massive cones of a Banksia, the colorful flowering Leucadendron, the pin-filled Leucospermum and the cup-shaped Protea are all proteaceae.

Leucospermum R
Leucospermum R. Br. 1810 The type species is L. hypophyllocarpodendron, which was first described by Linneaus as a member of his large genus Leucadendron. Linneaus later moved this to Protea. Various authors prior to Robert Brown proposed names for Pincushions, these being Conocarpus Adanson 1763, Lepidocarpus Adanson 1763, and Leucadendrum Salisb. 1807. Robert Brown’s name is conserved. There are x sections of Pincushions, and we have followed Rourke’s (1972) treatment, with the exception of a new section discovered in 198* for the Hook Pincushions, and the removal of the section Xericola to the genus Vexatorella.

Germination Depth Vs. Temperature Requirements in Naturally Dispersed Seeds of Leucospermum Cordifolium and L
S. Afr. J. Bot. , 1987 , 53(2): 119-124 119 Germination depth vs. temperature requirements in naturally dispersed seeds of Leucospermum cordifolium and L. cuneiforme (proteaceae) G.J. Brits Vegetable and Ornamental Plant Research Institute, Private Bag X293, Pretoria, 0001 Republic of South Africa Submitted in partial fulfilment of an M.Sc. degree at the University of Stell en bosch (Botany Department) Accepted 9 October 1986 Myrmecochory (ant dispersal) and the requirement for both low and high diurnal soil temperatures during seed germination after fire, are important ecological determinants in the seedling recruitment phase of Leucospermum R. Br. species. A crucial unknown parameter linking these two factors is the effective burial depth (i.e. germination depth) of seeds stored in the subterranean seed bank. The germination depth of seedlings was effectively determined in a nursery trial by measuring the length of the hypocotyl between the radicle end and ground level. Using this method the germination depth of Leucospermum cordifolium (Salisb. ex Knight) Fourcade and L. cuneiforme (Burm. f.) Rourke seedlings emerging during winter, after summer burns in three localities was estimated. Average estimated germination depths varied between 30 and 45 mm. Daily minimum and maximum temperatures were measured at various soil depths during winter in burnt and unburnt mesic mountain fynbos. Temperatures measured at 10, 20 and 40 mm depths during winter were close to the known optimum daily low and high germination temperatures in L. cordifolium, in burnt fynbos, but not in unburnt fynbos. These temperatures in burnt fynbos prevailed especially during early winter. It was concluded that a high proportion of the Leucospermum cordifolium seed bank will germinate only during the first early winter following a fire.

Proteaceae Floral Crops; Cultivar Development and Underexploited Uses
Proteaceae Floral Crops; Cultivar Development and Underexploited Uses Kenneth W. Leonhardt and Richard A. Criley The Proteaceae apparently originated on the southern supercontinent Gondwana long before it divided and began drifting apart during the Mesozoic era, accounting for the presence of the Proteaceae on all of the southern continents (Brits 1984a). The Protea family comprises about 1400 species in over 60 genera, of which over 800 species in 45 genera are from Australia. Africa claims about 400 species, including 330 species in 14 genera from the western Cape. About 90 species occur in Central and South America, 80 on islands east of New Guinea, and 45 in New Caledonia. Madagascar, New Guinea, New Zealand, and South- east Asia host small numbers of species (Rebelo 1995). Proteas are neither herbaceous nor annual, and they are always woody. Their structural habit is vari- able from groundcover forms with creeping stems, and those with underground stems, to vertical to spread- ing shrubs, to tree forms. The leaves are generally large, lignified, hard, and leathery. A mature leaf will generally snap rather than fold when bent. The leaf anatomy is specially adapted for water conservation and drought resistance. These characteristics and the high leaf carbon to nitrogen ratio render the leaves indi- gestible to most insect pests (Rebelo 1995), accounting for the relatively pest-free status of most commer- cial protea plantings. The distribution of the family is linked to the occurrence of soils that are extremely deficient in plant nutrients (Brits 1984a). An accommodating characteristic of the family is the presence of proteoid roots.

Steenhuisen , S.D. Johnson School of Life Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg, Private Bag X01, Scottsville 3209, South Africa Received 8 November 2011; received in revised form 25 November 2011; accepted 5 December 2011 Abstract Flowers of many plant species are visited by both birds and insects, making it necessary to establish their relative contributions to seed set. In Protea, available evidence points to an overwhelming preponderance of bird-pollination systems in the genus, but the scented flowers of several dwarf grassland “sugarbush” species suggest that some Protea species may be adapted for insect pollination. In this study, we used both selective exclusion of vertebrates and complete exclusion of all visitors to investigate whether the insects that visit the scented flowerheads of three Protea species (Protea dracomontana, Protea simplex and Protea welwitschii) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa contribute to seed production. We also performed supplemental hand pollinations to test for pollen limitation. Seed set was generally higher in inflorescences subjected to vertebrate exclusion than in those from which all visitors were excluded, suggesting that fertile cross-pollen was deposited by insects, but these differences were slight because of high levels of self-fertilization in the study species. Pollen deposition and pollen tube growth were similar for vertebrate- excluded and open-pollinated inflorescences.
