  • June 2019 Monthly Report
    June 2019 Monthly Report The June monthly report makes for a lot of interesting reading with many activities taking place that kept the Rangers on their toes. The report provides the usual monthly compliance statistics including the discovery of snares, followed by a report back on the Voortrekkers annual visit, activities surround alien plant control and fuel load reduction, maintenance and some interesting wildlife highlights from the month. This report then details an alien biomass expo the Rangers attended, the very intriguing washout of a rare beaked whale and the Conservancy’s involvement therein, a conversation piece on Haworthia conservation and the release of a lesser Flamingo. The report is then concluded with the Capped Wheatear which features as this month’s monthly species profile. Plough snails enjoying their jellyfish feast. ‘If we knew how many species we’ve already eradicated, we might be more motivated to protect those that still survive. This is especially relevant to the large animals of the oceans.’ – Yuval Noah Harari 2 JUNE 2019 Compliance Management Marine Living Resources Act During June, a total of 24 recreational fishing, spearfishing and bait collecting permits were checked by Taylor, Kei and Daniel. Of the 24 permits checked, 6 people (25%) failed to produce a valid permit and were issued a verbal warning. Snares On the 3rd of June the Rangers came across some very rudimentary snares whilst checking some of the woodcutting operations on Fransmanshoek. Old packing strapping was used to create snares and were found tied to the base of bushes with a simple noose knot made at the other end.

Z literatury Kakteen und andere Sukkulenten č. 6 / 2006 Bohat ě kvetoucí rebucie s dlouhými, k řídov ě bílými trny, je vždy ozdobou sbírky, i když jí chybí jméno. Jedna z takových „anonymních“ rebucií, s věncem pom ěrn ě velkých, syt ě žlutých kv ětů natolik upoutala redaktora, že její snímek uve řejnil na titulní stran ě. Dev ět stran tohoto čísla je v ěnováno historii a p ěstování rodu Sempervivum . Net řesky jsou oblíbeny zejména mezi skalni čká ři, ale po shlédnutí 19 snímk ů, které ilustrují článek, nepochybn ě i řada kaktusá řů zatouží za řadit net řesky mezi kaktusy ve své sbírce. Jejich český název vychází z představy, že do míst a budov osázených net řesky blesk neuhodí. Latinský název znamená „stále žijící“ a sv ědčí o mimo řádné životaschopnosti a odolnosti t ěchto sukulent ů. P řes usilovné a dlouhé studium stále není jasné z kolika druh ů se tento rod skládá. Popsáno bylo asi 200 druh ů, botanicky uznaných je jen kolem 60, nabízí se však zhruba 3000 odr ůd. Na vin ě je p ředevším snadné k řížení net řesk ů jak v přírod ě, tak zám ěrné u šlechtitel ů. Net řesky pat řily mezi vyhledávané lé čivé rostliny.

  • Vegetation Map for the Riversdale Domain
    VEGETATION MAP FOR THE RIVERSDALE DOMAIN Project Team: Jan Vlok, Regalis Environmental Services, P.O. Box 1512, Oudtshoorn, 6620. Riki de Villiers, CapeNature, Private Bag X5014, Stellenbosch, 7599. Date of report: March 2007 Suggested Reference to maps and report: Vlok, J.H.J. & de Villiers, M.E. 2007. Vegetation map for the Riversdale domain. Unpublished 1:50 000 maps and report supported by CAPE FSP task team and CapeNature. 2 Dedication: For Anne Lise, my dear wife, who motivated so strongly for this study to be done. I sincerely hope that this work will enable her, current and future CapeNature colleagues to contribute more towards the conservation and sustainable use of the biodiversity of the rather remarkable biodiversity of the Riversdale region. 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The vegetation of a circa 800 000 ha area in the Riversdale region of the southern Cape was classified and mapped at a scale of 1:50 000 for the CAPE Fine-Scale Conservation Plan task team. The vegetation was mapped as their occurrence was perceived to be in the 17th century, thus before any transformation due to European impacts. The classification system follows a six-tier hierarchy in order to facilitate analyses at biome, habitat type and vegetation unit level. Aquatic and terrestrial systems are recognized, with two biomes within aquatic ecosystems and five biomes within the terrestrial ecosystems. Aquatic ecosystems cover approximately 12 percent of the domain and terrestrial ecosystems 88 percent. At habitat level, 47 habitat types are recognized; six are within the aquatic ecosystems and 41 in the terrestrial ecosystems. Brief descriptions and a photograph are provided for each habitat type.

  • Glossary of Latin Roots
    Botanical root meanings as compiled from website: www.prairienet.org/garden-gate/botrts.htm Glossary of Roots of Botanical Names Glossary Copyright © 1998-2003 Karen Fletcher ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Some word parts ("arizon-" and "terminal-") are (or should be ) obvious; others which seem obvious may be a case of "faux-amis" ("false friends"), as they say in French: Alpinia, a genus in the ginger family is NOT named for alpine regions, but rather for one Propser Alpinus, an Italian physician. I have not attempted to cover all forms of which a word-part might par- take, and I have purposefully varied the Latinized endings, even when I couldn't think of having encountered an example of, say, the neuter ending ("um") of a word-part. I've not given all POSSIBLE forms and endings for each part, rather my attempt has been to show (especially to the novice to all this "double-talk") the variety AMONG endings and hope that he will get a feel for not only the use of the word part but also its possible permutations, so that when he sees the word "procera" or "procerus" or "procerum," he will recognize it as meaning "tall," and when he encounters "bifrons" he will be able to put two parts together and get "two" and "leaf." And I've not even THOUGHT about including parts which honor proper names, such as "schottii, bernardii, farnesiana, berlandieri" etc. Most are somewhat obvious, and probably nothing to be done about those that aren't - except make this ditty many times its present length!. Most word parts here cited are usually prefixes and are denoted with the dash FOLLOWING the part; a few are mostly suffixes and, therefore, are cited with the dash preceding the part.) With suffixes, the desig- nation, "(...)" indicates that it is seldom the actual ending of the descriptive, and that it usually has one of the endings listed below.

  • The Problem Child of Taxonomy by Bruce Bayer
    TOP LEFT and RIGHT: Species show variability among populations as these two Haworthia retusa ‘turgida’ plants from Slangriver Heidelberg demonstrate. BELOW RIGHT: Haworthia retusa 'turgida' from Albertinia. Haworthia BELOW LEFT: Haworthia retusa ‘retusa’ from Riversdale. The problem child of taxonomy by Bruce Bayer y experience with Haworthia dates back to my childhood and spans nearly 70 years of continuous observation. My interest Mwas only able to properly manifest when I began work at the Karoo National Botanical Garden in 1969 and it has since been through many phases. I wrote a formal taxonomic revision of the genus in 1999 and have spent a good bit of the last nine years adding to and verifying what I wrote. Haworthia has always been regarded as a problem child of botany, to be avoided by professional taxonomists for various reasons including an apparent phobia of the many amateur collectors peering over the shoulder while at work. This has puzzled me because it seemed to me genera of the Alooideae (a sub-family) of the Asphodelaceae (the aloe that if the need for good classification and identification was so strong family) are not comfortably classified and the three sets of plants that there was an obligation for botanists to provide the service. So my constitute the genus Haworthia are not only florally distinctive, they involvement has been largely by default. are also phytogeographically and behaviourally different. Thus while I was trained in an agricultural and entomological tradition with a there is this huge flaw at the generic level, can sense ever reign at the totally different and unsophisticated approach to things like taxonomy, species level? The proliferation and confusion of names, coupled with the systematics and nomenclature.

    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 23: 2010 219 FIRST INCURSION OF CONTIGASPIS ZILLAE (HEMIPTERA: DIASPIDIDAE) IN BRITAIN C. MALUMPHY1,A.J.HALSTEAD2 &A.SALISBURY2 1The Food and Environment Research Agency, Sand Hutton, York YO41 1LZ 2The Royal Horticultural Society’s Garden, Wisley, Woking, Surrey GU23 6QB ABSTRACT In November 2009, a large infestation of the scale Contigaspis zillae (Hall) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) was found on four Crassula ruprestis Thunb. plants grown under glass at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Garden, Wisley, Surrey, England. The plants had been imported from South Africa in May 2008. This is the first incursion of this scale insect in Britain and control measures are being taken. The biology and geographical distribution of C. zillae are discussed. INTRODUCTION Succulent plants that had originally been imported from South Africa and exhibited at The Royal Horticultural Society’s (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show on the Kirstenbosch National Botanic Garden stand in May 2007 and 2008 were donated to the RHS Garden, Wisley, Woking, Surrey, where they were maintained in heated glasshouses. In October 2009, one of these plants (Euphorbia caput-medusae L. (Euphorbiaceae)) that had been imported in 2007 was found to be heavily infested with white euphorbia scale Selenaspidus albus McKenzie (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) (Malumphy & Halstead, 2010). Further investigations of the South African plants by RHS staff in November 2009 led to the discovery of two more non-native diaspid scale insects on plants imported in 2008: Contigaspis zillae (Hall) on four ‘kebab bush’, Crassula ruprestis Thunb. (Crassulaceae), plants and an unidentified species on a woody Geranium sp. (Geraniaceae). In each case samples of the infested plants were submitted to The Food and Environment Research Agency (Fera), Sand Hutton, York, for identification.
