Holiday Party 2019 As is traditional, the Club will be providing the main entree of turkey, and yes, there will be more dark meat than white! v Since the Community Center has no refrigerator bring your cold dishes in coolers. We do have a microwave, stove and oven for reheating, not for cooking. v If you are bringing a cooler with hot food here’s a trick from Eleanore: foil-wrap bricks and heat them in the oven – they keep food hot for hours! v Any hot trays you may have will be much appreciated as well. Don’t forget the cords! The set-up crew should arrive ready to work by 10:30am. There are tables to be set and general setup. Evelyn Voth is handling table decorations and supplying all the needed materials so we DO NOT NEED greenery, pinecones and berries, etc. PLEASE – remember to put your name on ALL serving utensils, dishes, and lids! We would hate to have anything get lost in the cleanup shuffle. What Would a Party be Without Gifts? As usual we will have lots of Gift Plants! A plant for all members in attendance.

  • Avonia-News Newsletter Der Fachgesellschaft Andere Sukkulenten
    Avonia-News Newsletter der Fachgesellschaft andere Sukkulenten 08 : 2008 15.11.2008 Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, Der Versand der umfangreichen Linkliste an die Mitglieder ist abgeschlossen. Nachdem ich mich durch die zahlreichen Links gearbeitet habe muss ich gestehen – ich kannte einige davon, aber dass es bereits ein solche Menge öffentlich zugänglicher Literatur zu unserem Hobby und den Pflanzen allgemein gibt, hat mich dann doch überrascht. Dies zeigt jedoch nur, wie schnelllebig unsere Zeit inzwischen geworden ist – bei sich ständig be- schleunigtem Voranschreiten! So wird man in Zukunft immer mehr Literatur erschließen können, die wichtig für ein um- fassendes Studium unserer Pflanzen sein könnte. Dank gilt dem unermüdlichen Sucher im Netz nach entsprechenden Stellen und auch dafür, dass diese mühevolle Arbeit so einfach einmal allen Mitgliedern unseres Vereins zugute kommen kann. Solch uneigennütziges Vor- gehen findet man leider nicht oft – um so größer mein Dank! Und ich kann nur hoffen, dass es weitere solche Personen gibt, die in konstanter Arbeit alles zusammentragen und mit anderen tauschen, was unser Hobby spannend macht und bereichert. Die Avonia und natürlich auch dieses Medium der Avonia-News leben von Autoren, die bereit sind, ihre Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen mit anderen zu tauschen – auch hier suchen wir immer wieder nach Mitstreitern, die durch ihre Beiträge, Fotos und Mitarbeit an der Gestaltung der Ausgaben mitwirken. Diese Basis könnte immer noch breiter sein! Scheuen Sie sich nicht, diese Chance zu nutzen. Man erhält Kontakte und Möglichkeiten über solch eine Arbeit, die vorher vielleicht undenkbar waren – man erhält sozusagen für seine Mühen Lohn zurück. In diesem Sinne wünsche ich allen Lesern viel Spaß beim Studieren dieser nunmehr bereits achten Ausgabe der Avonia-News und hoffe, Sie finden wieder zahlreiche Anregungen und Neuigkeiten.

It is being submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or any other examination in any other University. ______________________ ______ day of ______________________ 20_____ ii ABSTRACT Introduced plants will lose interactions with natural enemies, mutualists and competitors from their native ranges, and possibly gain interactions with new species, under new abiotic conditions in their new environment. The use of biocontrol agents is based on the premise that introduced species are liberated from their natural enemies, although in some cases introduced species may not become invasive because they acquire novel natural enemies. In this study I consider the potential for the biocontrol of Bryophyllum delagoense, a Madagascan endemic, and hypothesize as to why this plant is invasive in Australia and not in South Africa. Of the 33 species of insects collected on B. delagoense in Madagascar, three species, Osphilia tenuipes, Eurytoma bryophylli, and Rhembastus sp. showed potential as biocontrol agents in Australia.

  • Portulacaria Afra[I]
    Planting orientation of Portulacaria afra cuttings for Thicket restoration: vertical versus horizontal Mutakusi B Ragimana Equal first author, 1 , Alastair J Potts Corresp. Equal first author, 1 1 Botany Department, Nelson Mandela University, Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa Corresponding Author: Alastair J Potts Email address: [email protected] Aim. The re-establishment of Portulacaria afra in the landscape-scale Subtropical Thicket Restoration Programme has exclusively used vertically-orientated truncheons (i.e. large cuttings with the main stem planted 10-20 cm into the ground). Despite the planting of millions of truncheons, the rates of survival, growth and restoration are low. This may be driven by browsing pressure and/or drought conditions during the truncheon establishment phase. Here we conduct a common garden experiment to explore the establishment of horizontal versus vertically orientated truncheons. Horizontal truncheons have their main stem buried in the soil and only a few side branches exposed above ground — these truncheons may experience reduced water stress. Here we compared the levels of water stress during the establishment phase of truncheons with different orientation. Location. Eastern Cape, South Africa. Methods. Our experiment involved three planting treatments for truncheons: vertical orientation, horizontal orientation, and horizontal orientation with exposed side branches clipped. Truncheons were grown for two months and plants were well-watered. On two occasions during the experiment, photosynthetic efficiency was measured on all plants to ascertain levels of plant stress. After the experiment, the root, stem and leaf dry mass were recorded for each replicate, as well as leaf moisture. Results. The root mass proportion (of the total plant) was not significantly different among treatments.

  • WILDLIFE TRADE in AMAZON COUNTRIES: an ANALYSIS of TRADE in CITES-LISTED SPECIES Note by the Executive Secretary 1
    CBD Distr. GENERAL CBD/SBSTTA/21/INF/8 17 November 2017 ENGLISH ONLY SUBSIDIARY BODY ON SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVICE Twenty-first meeting Montreal, Canada, 11-14 December 2017 Item 4 of the provisional agenda* WILDLIFE TRADE IN AMAZON COUNTRIES: AN ANALYSIS OF TRADE IN CITES-LISTED SPECIES Note by the Executive Secretary 1. The Executive Secretary is circulating herewith, for the information of participants in the twenty-first meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice, a report presenting a comprehensive overview of international trade in wildlife species listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in the Amazon countries: Bolivia; Brazil; Colombia; Ecuador; Guyana; Peru; Suriname; and Venezuela. The analysis provides a baseline of information on trade levels and trends in these countries for the 10-year period 2005-2014, in order to inform trade management in the region. It has been produced in close collaboration with national experts, presenting contextual information and insights into the management of wildlife trade in the region. 2. The report is relevant to the work of the Convention on Biological Diversity, in particular with regard to decision XIII/8, paragraph 5(d), in which the Conference of the Parties requests the Executive Secretary, in collaboration with other members of the Collaborative Partnership on Sustainable Wildlife Management, to continue to support efforts by Parties to combat illicit trafficking in wildlife, in line with United Nations General Assembly resolution 69/314 of 30 July 2015, and to enhance institutional capacities on wildlife conservation and law enforcement with relevant law enforcement bodies, such as the International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime.
