M. Coopoosamy Department of Nature Conservation, Mangosuthu University of Technology, P O Box 12363, Jacobs4026, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected]. Tel: +27 82 200 3342. Fax: +27 31 907 7665. Accepted 7 December, 2010 Ethnobotanical survey of Bulbine Wolf, (Asphodelaceae) used for various treatment, such as, diarrhea, burns, rashes, blisters and insect bites, was carried out in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Information on the parts used and the methods of preparation was collected through questionnaire which was administered to the herbalists, traditional healers and rural dwellers which indicated the extensive use of Bulbine species. Most uses of Bulbine species closely resemble that of Aloe . Dried leaf bases and leaf sap are the commonest parts of the plants used. Preparations were in the form of decoctions and infusions. Bulbine frutescens was the most frequently and commonly used of the species collected for the treatment of diarrhoea, burns, rashes, blisters, insect bites, cracked lips and mouth ulcers. The leaf, root and rhizome extracts of B. frutescens, Bulbine natalensis, Bulbine latifolia and Bulbine narcissifolia were screened for antibacterial activities to verify their use by traditional healers. Key words: Herbal medicine, diarrhea, medicinal plants, Bulbine species, antibacterial activity.

  • Somatic Embryogenesis and Regeneration of Endangered Cycad Species
    Somatic Embryogenesis and Regeneration of Endangered Cycad Species R.E. Litz and P.A. Moon V.M. Chavez Avila Tropical Research and Education Center Jardin Botanico, Instituto de Biologia University of Florida Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico 18905 SW 280 Street Apartado Postal 70-614 Homestead FL, 33031-3314 04510 Mexico DF USA Mexico Keywords: Somatic embryo, gymnosperm, Cycadales, conservation Abstract The Cycadales (Gymnospermae) include some of the world's most endangered and rare plant species. Many of the cycad species are known only as single specimen trees (e.g., Encephalartos woodii), as very small populations in the wild (e.g., Ceratozamia hildae) or have become extinct in the wild (e.g., Ceratozamia euryphyllidia). All cycads are dioecious, so that seed production is no longer possible with the rarest of the species. Conditions for induction of embryogenic cultures from leaves of mature phase trees of several species in the family Zamiaceae have been reported, and plants have been regenerated from somatic embryos. Embryogenic cultures of two species have been successfully cryopreserved. These strategies should contribute to the conservation of these endangered species and could lay the basis for commercial propagation of these beautiful but rare plants. INTRODUCTION The Cycadales represent the most ancient surviving group of higher plants, having arisen during the Permian era and flourished in the Mesozoic and Jurassic periods. They have been referred to as "living fossils" (Gilbert, 1984). Norstog (1987) considered that the cycads are unique for the study of the evolution of development in higher plants. There are only three extant cycad families, the Cycadaceae, Stangeriaceae and Zamiaceae, and these contain approximately 224 species.

We found 46 of the 358 described cycad species had at least one element reported to date. The only genus that was missing from the data was Microcycas. Many of the species reports contained concentrations of one to several macronutrients and no other elements. The cycad leaves contained greater nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations than the reported means for plants throughout the world. Magnesium was identified as the macronutrient that has been least studied.

  • ENCEPHALARTOSNCEPHALARTOS Tydskrif Van Die Broodboom Vereniging Van Suid-Afrika
    Journal of the Cycad Society of South Africa EENCEPHALARTOSNCEPHALARTOS Tydskrif van die Broodboom Vereniging van Suid-Afrika No. 109 September 2012 ISSN 1012-9987 Visits to three Encephalartos ferox colonies: provisional impressions Philip Rousseau¹* & George James Mann² As part of the larger endeavor to produce a mono- graphic revision of the genus Encephalartos, field work was conducted on three natural populations of Encephalartos ferox. Encephalartos ferox has always been regarded as a morphologically (both vegetative and reproductive) variable species (Vorster 2004), yet easily distinguishable as a sp e cie s, even at juvenile and s e e dling s t age s. B e c aus e of its well-defined diagnostic features, Dr. Piet Vorster places the species as unassociated in his groupings of species, a position confirmed by the senior author’s molecular work (Rousseau 2012). Encephalartos ferox is characterised by very wide ovate and heavily dentate leaflets, undulate in its width, unmistakable smooth pinkish to red cones, and seeds with a red sarcotesta. Amongst collectors special interest has always been shown towards the variability primarily in the so called “cigar leaf form” (Figure 1) and the “yellow cone form” (Figure 2). The known distribution of E. ferox extends from northern KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, northwards in a more or less continues strip halfway up the Mozambican coast, the latter range involving the provinces of Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane and Sofala. Plants invariably grows at low elevation and close to the sea (IUCN 2010). The first field trip was by the first author to a population in the northeastern corner of KwaZulu-Natal (Maputaland) in January 2012.

  • Species Encephalartos Family Zamiaceae CITES Listing Appendix I Common Names Cycad Trade All South African Cycad Species (Encephalartos Spp
    SANBI IDentifyIt - Species Encephalartos Family Zamiaceae CITES Listing Appendix I Common names Cycad Trade All South African cycad species (Encephalartos spp. and Stangeria eriopus) are listed on CITES Appendix I. While no international trade is permitted in wild plants, trade is permitted in artificially propagated plants that meet certain requirements, for example, the stem diameter is less than 15 cm. The National Cycad Policy, when redrafted, will detail trade standards such as the types of shipping containers that may be used, how these containers should be sealed and when microchips are needed. Once completed, this information will be made available on the DEAT website (www.environment.gov.za). Identifying cycadsUnless complex botanical keys are used, specific cycad identification is very difficult. However, as all cycads are protected by CITES and national legislation, it is sufficient to recognise that a plant is a cycad. Become familiar with the terminology of cycad structure and the key to cycad genera, but always remember to call an expert for assistance (see Contacts). Note that there are three plant families containing cycads. Of the two genera found in South Africa, Stangeria has a single species, Stangeria eriopus. This plant, which occurs on the East coast of South Africa, has soft, fern-like pinnate leaves from 30cm to 2m long (see picture). Lateral veins arise at almost right angles to the midrib of the leaflets. Members of the genus Encephalartos can be recognized by the following basic characteristics: Leaves are pinnate, leaflets with sunken, parallel veins (no midrib). Leaflets are hard and prickly and DO NOT bend easily: they may be deep green, blue green, or grey.
