Annex 3A AERIAL VIEW PLAN
Annex 3A AERIAL VIEW PLAN Plan showing a plot land situate at Bois Sec, in the District of Savanne, of the original extent of +DPò belonging to "LIGNECALISTE PROPERTY COMPANY LIMITED" as evidenced by Title Deed transcribed in volume TV 8272 no.23 Scale 1:12,500 Date: December 2011 Annex 3B CONTOUR/TOPOGRAPHICAL PLAN Annex 3C FLORA & FAUNAL SURVEY REPORT Report on Terrestrial Flora and Fauna at Proposed Golf Course Site at Bois Sec Introduction The proposed Avalon Golf Course site is roughly in the shape of a parallelogram under extensive sugarcane ( Saccharum sp. ) plantation with six feeders (5 named and one unnamed) and two rivers flowing South- easterly along its longer sides. Feeder Cresson and Feeder Edmond flow almost along two thirds of the site before joining to form Riviere Gros Ruisseau. Feeder Augustin which starts half way in the East of the site flows South –easterly to join Riviere Gros Ruisseau just before the latter flows outside the site at its South eastern boundary with St Aubin Sugar Estate. Two tributaries, Feeder Rivet and an unnamed Feeder flow along about a quarter of the site before joining to form Riviere Ruisseau Marron which winds down and out of the site with three to four loops flowing inside and out along the Eastern edge of the site. Feeder Enterrement starts in the middle of the last southern quarter of the site and flows more or less straight out of its eastern boundary with St Aubin Sugar Estate. The escarpments of the feeders and the Rivers vary from smooth slopes, steep slopes to almost vertical slopes and the vegetation consists predominantly of almost the same type of introduced species but with Ravenale ( Ravenala madacascariensis ) as the most dominant species, (see Fig. -

The fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties adopted Decision 15.97 which states: Directed to Madagascar and to the Plants Committee a) Review and gather further information on the succulent taxa proposed for listing at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties but not adopted; b) Review and gather further information on species (including tree species) which would benefit from CITES listing; c) Identify mechanisms to help build capacity to carry out non-detriment findings for currently listed species; and, d) Report on their work at the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties and, if necessary, prepare proposals to amend the Appendices for submission at that meeting. Implementation for tree species 3. Subparagraph b) directs Madagascar and the Plants Committee to gather information on additional species which would benefit from CITES listing. To help facilitate this process in the selection of tree species for CITES listings this document brings together relevant data on species of Dalbergia and Diospyros likely to be endemic to the island of Madagascar. Annex 1 and 2 includes tables which summaries, inter alia, the information collated to date on taxonomy, distribution and conservation status. -

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll PUFF /MFN 9702 Malayan Nature Joumal200l, 55 (1 & 2): 133 ~ 146 The Significance of Gynoecium and Fruit and Seed Characters for the Classification of the Rubiaceae CHRISTIAN(PUFF1 Abstract: This paper attempts to give a survey of the highly diverse situation found in the gynoecium (especially ovary) of the Rubiaceae (multi-, pluri-, pauci- and uniovulate locules; reduction of ovules and septa in the course of development, etc.). The changes that can take place after fertilisation (i.e., during fruit and seed development) are discussed using selected examples. An overview of the many diverse types of fruits and seeds of the Rubiaceae is presented. In addition, the paper surveys the diaspores (dispersal units) found in the family and correlates them with the morphological-anatomical situation. Finally, selected discrepancies between "traditional" classification systems of the Rubiaceae and recent cladistic analyses are discussed. While DNA analyses and cladistic studies are undoubtedly needed and useful, it is apparent that detailed (comparative) morphological-anatomical studies of gynoecium, fruits and seeds can significantly contribute to the solution of"problem cases" and should not be neglected, Future cladistic :work should, therefore, more generously include such data. INTRODUCTION The Rubiaceae, with approximately 11 ,000 species and more than 630 genera (Mabberley 1987, Robbrecht 1988), is one of the five largest families of angiosperms. Although centred in the tropics and subtropics and essentially woody, the family also extends to temperate regions and exhibits a wide array of growth forms, with some tribes having herbaceous, and even annual members. Not surprisingly, floral, fruit and seed characters also show considerable diversity. -

Morphology and Vascular Anatomy of the Flower of Angophora Intermedia
© Landesmuseum für Kärnten; download www.landesmuseum.ktn.gv.at/wulfenia; www.biologiezentrum.at Wulfenia 13 (2006): 11–19 Mitteilungen des Kärntner Botanikzentrums Klagenfurt Morphology and vascular anatomy of the fl ower of Angophora intermedia DC. (Myrtaceae) with special emphasis on the innervation of the fl oral axis Sergey A. Volgin & Anastasiya Stepanova Summary: A peculiar receptacle structure in Angophora intermedia DC. (Myrtaceae) has been determined by a vascular-anatomical method. The vascular system of the fl ower of A. intermedia consists of numerous ascending bundles and girdling bundles in the hypanthium and the inferior ovary wall. In the central column of the trilocular ovary we found a dense conical plexus of vascular bundles supplying the placentae (infralocular plexus). It is connected with ascending bundles of the receptacle in the ovary base. In its central part it contains “hanged” bundles and blind bundles, so it seems to be a residual stele of a rudimentary fl oral apex. Thus, the receptacle ofA. intermedia is toroidal at the level of fl oral organs and conical above the carpel node. Keywords: Angophora intermedia, Myrtaceae, fl ower morphology, vascular system, fl oral axis, innervation, anatomy The fl oral development in different species of Myrtaceae has been studied precisely to elucidate the homology of the inferior ovary, hypanthium, operculate perianth and stamens of the polymerous androecium (PAYER 1857; MAYR 1969; BUNNIGER 1972; DRINNAN & LADIGES 1988; RONSE DECRAENE & SMETS 1991; ORLOVICH et al. 1996). Developmental and histogenetical studies have shown, that the receptacle in the fl ower of Myrtaceae is cup-like and take part to certain extent in the formation of the inferior ovary wall and the hypanthium (PAYER 1857; BUNNIGER 1972; RONSE DECRAENE & SMETS 1991). -

Phylogeny of the Tribe Cinchoneae (Rubiaceae), Its Position in Cinchonoideae, and Description of a New Genus, Ciliosemina
54 (1) • February 2005: 17–28 Andersson & Antonelli • Phylogeny of Cinchoneae MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS Phylogeny of the tribe Cinchoneae (Rubiaceae), its position in Cinchonoideae, and description of a new genus, Ciliosemina Lennart Andersson* & Alexandre Antonelli Botanical Institute, Göteborg University, P. O. Box 461, SE-405 30 Göteborg, Sweden. alexandre.antonelli@ botany.gu.se (author for correspondence) Relationships of and within the Rubiaceae tribe Cinchoneae were estimated based on DNA sequence variation in five loci: the ITS region, the matK and rbcL genes, the rps16 intron, and the trnL-F region including the trnL intron and the trnL-F intergenic spacer. Within Cinchonoideae s.s., the tribe Naucleeae is the sister group of a clade that comprises all other taxa. Cinchoneae and Isertieae s.s., are strongly supported as sister groups. The tribe Cinchoneae is strongly supported as monophyletic in a restricted sense, including the genera Cinchona, Cinchonopsis, Joosia, Ladenbergia, Remijia and Stilpnophyllum. There is strong support that these genera are monophyletic as presently conceived, except that one species mostly referred to Remijia is of uncer- tain phylogenetic affinity. To accommodate this species and a morphologically closely similar one, a new genus, Ciliosemina A. Antonelli, is proposed and two new combinations are made. KEYWORDS: Cinchona, Cinchoneae, Cinchonopsis, Joosia, Ladenbergia, Remijia, Stilpnophyllum, Rubiaceae; ITS, matK, rbcL, rps16 intron, trnL-F. oideae.
