    Bothalia 41,1: 1–40 (2011) Systematics and biology of the African genus Ferraria (Iridaceae: Irideae) P . GOLDBLATT* and J .C . MANNING** Keywords: Ferraria Burm . ex Mill ., floral biology, Iridaceae, new species, taxonomy, tropical Africa, winter rainfall southern Africa ABSTRACT Following field and herbarium investigation of the subequatorial African and mainly western southern African Ferraria Burm . ex Mill . (Iridaceae: Iridoideae), a genus of cormous geophytes, we recognize 18 species, eight more than were included in the 1979 account of the genus by M .P . de Vos . One of these, F. ovata, based on Moraea ovata Thunb . (1800), was only discovered to be a species of Ferraria in 2001, and three more are the result of our different view of De Vos’s taxonomy . In tropical Africa, F. glutinosa is recircumscribed to include only mid- to late summer-flowering plants, usually with a single basal leaf and with purple to brown flowers often marked with yellow . A second summer-flowering species,F. candelabrum, includes taller plants with several basal leaves . Spring and early summer-flowering plants lacking foliage leaves and with yellow flowers from central Africa are referred toF. spithamea or F. welwitschii respectively . The remaining species are restricted to western southern Africa, an area of winter rainfall and summer drought . We rec- ognize three new species: F. flavaand F. ornata from the sandveld of coastal Namaqualand, and F. parva, which has among the smallest flowers in the genus and is restricted to the Western Cape coastal plain between Ganzekraal and Langrietvlei near Hopefield . Ferraria ornata blooms in May and June in response to the first rains of the season .

There is a large thorn-bush2 growing this way and that, taking over the entryway, as if to say, do not trespass, the road is long and the village no more. The green sign on the N7 pointing to Beeswater is, however, large and welcoming as you head north from Cape Town, past Citrusdal and Clanwilliam near Vanrhynsdorp and Vredendal, in the plains below the Gifberge. It is still in the boundaries of the Western Cape, just south of the famous flower country, with the Namaqua daisies that bring tourists from all over the world to small Northern Cape towns like Concordia and Okiep, and the hub of Springbok. Beeswater is, in fact, the village where Zoë Wicomb was born and raised, but her birth certificate says Vanrhynsdorp, since it was the nearest town.3 We have a photograph of Beeswater from 1989 by the British artist Roger Palmer, who has kindly provided us with our frontispiece.

  • Final Provincial Drought Assessment Report.Pdf
    Jody Wentzel Directorate Sustainable Resource Management Email: [email protected] tel: +27 21 808 7805 fax: +27 21 808 5370 Reference: 20/2/Drought Assessment Report - Western Cape (2018) Annexure A: Drought assessment report for disaster relief funding for the drought-stricken areas of livestock and crop farming in the Western Cape Province – February 2018 1. AIM To perform a technical and scientific assessment for the provision of emergency fodder relief within the drought-stricken areas of the Western Cape. 2. INTRODUCTION Drought relief, in the form of fodder, is currently being provided to all qualifying farmers in the West Coast district , Cape Winelands district, Central Karoo district, parts of the Eden district and Overberg district. All these areas need assistance. The consequence of the current situation is that once the drought has been broken, farmers will have to build up their flocks, leading to negative cash flow for a considerable period of time. If government does not intervene to further alleviate the situation, the dire impact of the drought will be felt for years to come, especially in the rural areas, where agriculture is the main generator of the economy. The socio-economic impact on farm workers would be significant should the agricultural activity in the Western Cape collapse. Areas of the Central Karoo district and West Coast district municipality are in a critical drought situation. Livestock farmers are amongst the hardest hit by the drought. The impacts of the drought in the summer rainfall region on beef cattle herds, with high numbers of animals slaughtered and the supply subsequently becoming limited, has led to high meat prices.

(Aizoaceae) in southern Africa Authors: Background: The dwarf succulent genus Conophytum N.E.Br. is one of the most species rich in 1 Andrew J. Young the Aizoceae. The genus is most closely associated with a region of high floral endemism and Phillip G. Desmet2 biodiversity, the Succulent Karoo biome in south-western Africa. Affiliations: Objectives: To examine the distribution of Conophytum in south-western Namibia and in the 1School of Natural Sciences and Psychology, Liverpool Northern and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa. John Moores University, United Kingdom Method: A database comprising 2798 locality records representing all known species and subspecies of the genus Conophytum has been constructed. 2Ecosol GIS, Pretoria, South Africa Results: The genus is primarily restricted to the arid winter-rainfall region of the Northern and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa and south-western Namibia, within the Greater Cape Corresponding author: Floristic Region. Whilst taxa are found across all the main biomes in the region (the Succulent Andrew Young, Karoo, Nama Karoo, Desert and Fynbos biomes), 94% of Conophytum taxa are found only in the [email protected] Succulent Karoo biome and predominantly (88% of taxa) within South Africa.

  • Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape (2004)
    Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape (2004) A research study undertaken fot the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning of the Western Cape Provincial Government by: CENTRE FOR GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH PROJECT LEADER: Prof IJ van der Merwe RESEARCH TEAM: Ms AJ Davids (University of Stellenbosch) Dr S Ferreira (University of Stellenbosch) Mr GP Swart (Urban Dynamics Western Cape) Prof HL Zietsman (University of Stellenbosch) i FOREWORD Linked to the Western Cape’s vision of a ‘Home for All’ and the iKapa Elilhumayo strategy for growing and developing the Western Cape, my Department’s role is to create a Sustainable Home For All – Now and Forever. Drafting the Western Cape Provincial Spatial Development Framework (WCPSDF) has been our major contribution to the iKapa strategies. This Framework is aligned to the National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP) published by the President’s Office in 2003, which suggests inter alia that Provinces determine the potential for economic growth and human need in towns in the Provinces. Where potential for economic growth is found infrastructure investment is required and where human need is great but economic potential low, social investment in enabling people to participate in alternative labour markets, is essential. Thus it became necessary to understand the potential and challenges of the Western Cape which led us to undertake a scientific study into the Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape. During March 2004 the Centre for Geographic Analysis at the University of Stellenbosch was appointed for this task. The information in this document is the result of thorough and careful analysis of the towns outside the City of Cape Town.
