Fact Sheet 136 Palms fact sheet 136 Palms Species and propagation Palm seeds are frequently slow and difficult to germinate under normal nursery conditions. This is partly because the seed embryo is in an undeveloped state before, and even during, the germination process. Palm seeds have a limited lifespan and require specialised conditions of storage and transport to survive. To remain viable, seeds must contain more than 20 per cent moisture. Ideally they should not be subjected to temperatures below 20°C. Viability limits. Three groups are recognised. 2 to 3 weeks viability Bentinekia, Crytostachys, Euterpe, Gronophyllum, Linospadix, Pinanga, Verschaffeltia 4 to 6 weeks viability Caryota, Chamaedorea, Chrysalidocarpus, Laccospadix, Licuala, Pritchardia, Ptychosperma, Roystonea 2 to 3 months viability Syagrus, Howeia, Phoenix Germination requirements Palm seeds need a prolonged period of high temperature (35°C to 38°C) and high humidity to germinate (Table 1). Some germinate more quickly if subjected to 2 to 3 days continuous leaching with water. These include Chrysalidocarpus, Archontophoenix, Chamaedorea, Pinanga, Johannestjesmania, Ptychosperma, Pritchardia, Euterpe. Another method is to leach the seeds for 72 hours in 6 per cent hydrogen peroxide. Licuala grandis and Thrinax barbadensis respond to this treatment. After leaching, keep the seed in seedling trays in sealed plastic bags at a temperature between 35°C to 38°C. Remove germinated seeds when the first shoot is about 1 cm long and plant into small pots or tubes in a 50:50 peat moss and coarse sand mixture without any fertiliser. Table 1.

A suitable mix is 4 parts composted pinebark, 1 part peat and 1 part coarse sand, with the following fertilisers added (rates per cubic metre): 1.0 kg dolomite lime (to bring the pH to 6.0) 5.0 kg Osmocote® Plus Blue (8-9 month) 16-3. 5-10 2.0 kg Osmocote® Potash Brown (5-6 month) 0-0-36 1.0 kg Osmocote® Coated Iron The additional potash has been beneficial in early growth of palms in trials in California and Australia. At this stage it is recommended to retain the extra potassium for the first two years only. It is popularly believed that palms need high rates of nitrogen. Most palms I encounter with problems have been fed on nitrogen and very little else. Consequently they have a range of nutrient deficiency problems. In the home garden situation, palms are extensively used in coastal areas with soils of high pH. Yellowing of the young foliage is rampant. It stems primarily from iron or manganese deficiency, resulting from the high pH. The best regime for fertilising palms is to apply a general purpose fertiliser about five times a year. If you use a controlled release formulation, three applications may be sufficient. Nutrient deficiencies Listed in descending order of importance Potassium - Symptoms vary but are always on the oldest leaves. Dictyosperma exhibits translucent yellow spots. In other species there is death of the leaf margins or tips or there may be yellowing of the leaflets followed by death of the tips. Necrotic spots or blotches on lower leaves may also be found. Potassium deficiency is quite common. Contrary to popular belief, potassium should be supplied in the same quantities as nitrogen, especially in containers or other highly leached situations. Iron - interveinal chlorosis of new leaves. Chamaedorea may also have necrotic tips and new leaves may not open normally. In palms, iron deficiency is caused by poor soil aeration or by planting too deeply. It is common in Perth coastal areas where limestone is prevalent. Treat with foliar sprays of iron sulphate or chelate. Soil application of iron sulphate may also help. Nitrogen - gradual loss of colour, slower than normal growth, fewer and smaller leaves. In severe cases leaves may be predominantly yellow or whitish. Yellowing or loss of colour is usually uniform over the leaf. Nitrogen deficiency is common. Magnesium - broad chlorotic bands around the margins with yellowing starting at the leaflet tips and travelling towards the base of the leaflets as the deficiency progresses. The yellowing cannot be reversed and treatment is slow. Use of dolomite should prevent this problem. Phoenix spp are particularly susceptible. Manganese - interveinal yellowing of new foliage. The yellow areas later die. In bad cases the newly emerging leaves may be dead and withered except for the base, giving them a 'frizzled' appearance. Common on alkaline soils or under conditions of poor soil aeration or low soil temperatures. Soil application of manganese sulphate may help. Zinc - New leaves show yellowing between the veins in Chamaedorea and Phoenix. In other species yellowing of the new leaves is more general and the leaf tips may die, similar to manganese deficiency. The new leaves are reduced in size. High pH can induce zinc deficiency. Calcium - Chamaedorea and Howeia show deformed new leaves that fail to expand normally. Leaflets die off, to leave only the petiole base alive. Calcium deficiency will eventually kill the growing point of the plant. It should not occur in containers if dolomite has been used. Copper - similar to manganese and zinc deficiency, generally without chlorosis. New leaves reduced in size with necrotic margins. In Phoenix roebelini, new leaves emerge chlorotic and malformed. Not common. Phosphorus - slow growth, no new leaves produced, colour changes slowly to light olive green colour. Caryota turns yellow. Rare. Boron - new leaves become chlorotic and malformed and fail to expand normally. Leaf margins are often necrotic. Flowers abort and blacken. In Chrysalidocarpus, transverse chlorotic streaks appear on new leaves. The streaks eventually coalesce and become necrotic. Sulphur - uniform yellowing of new leaves. Later, the tips of leaflets die. Relatively uncommon. Physiological problems Leaf scorching is common and is often caused by excessive salt levels in the media. This can be a long term problem caused by the gradual buildup of salt in the media. It can largely be prevented by the use of quality potting mixes with good irrigation practices. Reduce the use of fertilisers with a high salt index, such as muriate of potash (potassium chloride) or ammonium nitrate. Use slow release fertilisers with caution in hot weather; some brands and formulations may be more suitable than others. Ensure enough irrigation water is applied to leach excess salts out of the pots, or follow a leaching program once a week or a fortnight. Learn the pour-through method for assessing the electrical conductivity of soil solutions and use it to monitor salt levels. Leaf scorching can also result from transient increases in salinity caused by the media drying out for short periods. This requires a change in irrigation scheduling to prevent the fluctuations in soil moisture that are causing the problem. Often the total amount of water supplied may be quite adequate but it may need to be applied on a more regular basis. For example, irrigate for 10 minutes three times a day rather than 15 minutes twice a day. High temperatures and low humidity can also burn leaves. This can be due to a direct physical (temperature) effect or an indirect physiological (salinity) effect as described above. Some palm species are sensitive to hot weather conditions - shadecloth or some form of overhead misting for cooling may be required. Cold injury is often seen on palms that have been imported from Queensland. Symptoms are the death of large areas of the foliage. © Adelaide Lawnmowers Association Inc S:\1270 - ALMA\Website\Backup\docs\136.doc Page 2of 3 10-Oct-14 Pest, disease and weed control Pests Scale and mealy bug are the most commonly encountered pests of palms. They cause stunting and leaf distortion, leading to decline and eventual death if left untreated.

  • Plant Life of Western Australia
    INTRODUCTION The characteristic features of the vegetation of Australia I. General Physiography At present the animals and plants of Australia are isolated from the rest of the world, except by way of the Torres Straits to New Guinea and southeast Asia. Even here adverse climatic conditions restrict or make it impossible for migration. Over a long period this isolation has meant that even what was common to the floras of the southern Asiatic Archipelago and Australia has become restricted to small areas. This resulted in an ever increasing divergence. As a consequence, Australia is a true island continent, with its own peculiar flora and fauna. As in southern Africa, Australia is largely an extensive plateau, although at a lower elevation. As in Africa too, the plateau increases gradually in height towards the east, culminating in a high ridge from which the land then drops steeply to a narrow coastal plain crossed by short rivers. On the west coast the plateau is only 00-00 m in height but there is usually an abrupt descent to the narrow coastal region. The plateau drops towards the center, and the major rivers flow into this depression. Fed from the high eastern margin of the plateau, these rivers run through low rainfall areas to the sea. While the tropical northern region is characterized by a wet summer and dry win- ter, the actual amount of rain is determined by additional factors. On the mountainous east coast the rainfall is high, while it diminishes with surprising rapidity towards the interior. Thus in New South Wales, the yearly rainfall at the edge of the plateau and the adjacent coast often reaches over 100 cm.

  • Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
    SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Contributions from the United States National Herbarium Volume 52: 1-415 Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands Editors Pedro Acevedo-Rodríguez and Mark T. Strong Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History Washington, DC 2005 ABSTRACT Acevedo-Rodríguez, Pedro and Mark T. Strong. Monocots and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Contributions from the United States National Herbarium, volume 52: 415 pages (including 65 figures). The present treatment constitutes an updated revision for the monocotyledon and gymnosperm flora (excluding Orchidaceae and Poaceae) for the biogeographical region of Puerto Rico (including all islets and islands) and the Virgin Islands. With this contribution, we fill the last major gap in the flora of this region, since the dicotyledons have been previously revised. This volume recognizes 33 families, 118 genera, and 349 species of Monocots (excluding the Orchidaceae and Poaceae) and three families, three genera, and six species of gymnosperms. The Poaceae with an estimated 89 genera and 265 species, will be published in a separate volume at a later date. When Ackerman’s (1995) treatment of orchids (65 genera and 145 species) and the Poaceae are added to our account of monocots, the new total rises to 35 families, 272 genera and 759 species. The differences in number from Britton’s and Wilson’s (1926) treatment is attributed to changes in families, generic and species concepts, recent introductions, naturalization of introduced species and cultivars, exclusion of cultivated plants, misdeterminations, and discoveries of new taxa or new distributional records during the last seven decades.

  • A Synopsis of the Pre-Human Avifauna of the Mascarene Islands
    – 195 – Paleornithological Research 2013 Proceed. 8th Inter nat. Meeting Society of Avian Paleontology and Evolution Ursula B. Göhlich & Andreas Kroh (Eds) A synopsis of the pre-human avifauna of the Mascarene Islands JULIAN P. HUME Bird Group, Department of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Tring, UK Abstract — The isolated Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues are situated in the south- western Indian Ocean. All are volcanic in origin and have never been connected to each other or any other land mass. Despite their comparatively close proximity to each other, each island differs topographically and the islands have generally distinct avifaunas. The Mascarenes remained pristine until recently, resulting in some documentation of their ecology being made before they rapidly suffered severe degradation by humans. The first major fossil discoveries were made in 1865 on Mauritius and on Rodrigues and in the late 20th century on Réunion. However, for both Mauritius and Rodrigues, the documented fossil record initially was biased toward larger, non-passerine bird species, especially the dodo Raphus cucullatus and solitaire Pezophaps solitaria. This paper provides a synopsis of the fossil Mascarene avifauna, which demonstrates that it was more diverse than previously realised. Therefore, as the islands have suffered severe anthropogenic changes and the fossil record is far from complete, any conclusions based on present avian biogeography must be viewed with caution. Key words: Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues, ecological history, biogeography, extinction Introduction ily described or illustrated in ships’ logs and journals, which became the source material for The Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion popular articles and books and, along with col- and Rodrigues are situated in the south-western lected specimens, enabled monographs such as Indian Ocean (Fig.

We propose a method for seed shape quantification based on the comparison of the bi-dimensional images of the seeds with geometric figures. J index is the percent of similarity of a seed image with a figure taken as a model. Models in shape quantification include geometrical figures (circle, ellipse, oval ::: ) and their derivatives, as well as other figures obtained as geometric representations of algebraic equations. The analysis is based on three sources: Published work, images available on the Internet, and seeds collected or stored in our collections. Some of the models here described are applied for the first time in seed morphology, like the superellipses, a group of bidimensional figures that represent well seed shape in species of the Calamoideae and Phoenix canariensis Hort. ex Chabaud.

This annotated list of vascular plants indigenous or naturalized in the county is an attempt to fill that need. It is hoped that the flora will also be useful to other botanists and their students in Johnson County and adjacent areas of Iowa. The writer's field work in Johnson County has extended over a period of nearly six years ( 1949-1955). In that time he has col­ lected or observed in the county 814 species.
