Colchicaceae. It has only one species, Sandersonia aurantiaca.

Sandersonia is a genus of climbing plants that reach about 60 cm Competition Entry Form in height. Although Sandersonia are half hardy perennials they are mainly grown as an annual in the garden. Name: ...... Sandersonia bloom in the summer and have orange lantern shaped flowers that hang from thin stalks. The foliage is lance shaped...... Some common names for Sandersonia include Christmas Bells and Chinese Lantern Lily. Address: ...... Distribution and habitat ...... Sandersonia aurantiaca flowers were once a common sight throughout its grassland and forest margin distribution range Tel: ...... in the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Swaziland and southern Mpumalanga, but severe habitat loss from agricultural expansion Email: ...... and indiscriminate picking of flowers has made it a rare sight in the Answer: ...... wild today; it is usually only seen in nature reserves. It occurs in deep, heavy soil on damp hill slopes in full sun.

Sponsored by Derivation of name and historical aspects Sandersonia aurantiaca was discovered by the Scottish journalist and amateur botanist, John Sanderson in KwaZulu-Natal in 1851, and was described by Sir William Hooker, director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1853. The specific epithet aurantiaca is derived from Latin and refers to the orange colour of the flowers (between yellow and red). The Tel. 011 467 0721 common name, Christmas bells, is most fitting as the plants are usually seen in flower around Christmas time in the wild.

- 44 - - 45 - The Greater Striped Swallow is an aerial feeder, gliding endlessly in search of insect prey. They are amongst the first migrants to arrive as they have a relatively short distance to travel from the central parts of Africa, with some birds being seen even in August. But by late March the bulk of the birds will have left again after breeding. They lay 2-4 eggs, usually 3, with the female incubating. Once the chicks have hatched there will be a frenzy of feeding activity with both parents feeding the young until the chicks can fly and forage for themselves and this can take up to 30 days but is usually less than that. Bird of the Month If you have a typical mud nest of this bird outside your home or on the patio you need not be concerned as they By André Marx are not harmful to people in any way. There is no need to break down a nest as there is relatively little mess from Greater Striped Swallow a swallow as they are quite clean birds.

This they will months with us when they breed and then leave us in late be welcome to do as they are very much part of our local summer/autumn when they head north to central Africa birding family! where they spend their time during our winter. We are all familiar with their mud nests which they will build under an overhang in a building, often on a patio or at the entrance to a building. Because they are basically monogamous in nature the same pair can breed at the same locality year after year, often raising more than one brood in a season. People will herald their arrival each year with great joy and it is said that a breeding pair of swallows brings good luck. The identification features to look out for with this bird is the pale cheeks and rump and the light narrow streaking on the underparts. It is important to make the distinction between this species and the Lesser Striped Swallow which is also present in Dainfern in summer but has rufous cheeks and much heavier streaking on the underparts. The Greater Striped Swallow will also greatly outnumber the Lesser Striped in Highveld areas, with the latter bird being more numerous in lower lying parts of the country such as the Lowveld. However beware the difference between the two species as they are both local and do breed here! The Greater Striped is a larger bird which is why it is called ‘Greater’, so the name has nothing to do with the extent of the streaking on the bird. One sure way to tell them apart is to listen to the call, with Greater Striped making a soft chirrup sound and trilling notes and Lesser Striped making a quite different jumble of nasal zeh-zeh-zeh sounds.
