Mr Farmer--- Please send me a note or contact me with any suggestions with regard to bush or trees which should be added to this "sugested only" list! -- I will keep it updated as best I can! All I am trying to do is get info to farmers.-- Please, every farmer must do their own further research as i have found a lot of conflicting information on the internet! --- Thanks! To: [email protected] My cel: 0844534499 Please Note: (This is only a suggested guide. All users must please varify correctness before use of any kind!) 1. Ritlee Xecutech, Cedara or Marc Custers will NOT accept any liability or responsability of any kind whatsoever if there are any mistakes, conflicts or incorrect information on this listing! 2. Ritlee received a list with No, Species,Index from a bush specialist stationed at Cedara in Howick 3.This list has never been published and is only a help for those interested in this information. 4. Ritlee (Marc Custers -- Cell 0844534499) Added Common Name, Brief Description, Normal Location and picture to this list to try and assist with those interested. 5.The reason why Ritlee have done this is to help us premote our Ritlee 225 Chipper with grinder which is ideal for chipping bush into a consistacy we feel ideal for cattle and game feed addition.

    Population Assessments of Priority Plant Species Used by Local Communities in and Around Three Wild Coast Reserves, Eastern Cape, South Africa

    Population assessments of priority plant species used by local communities in and around three Wild Coast reserves, Eastern Cape, South Africa By JOCLYN J. FEARON Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science Department of Environmental Science, Rhodes University Grahamstown 2010 Abstract The project was initiated by Eastern Cape Parks (ECP) as a request for the construction of inventories of priority species and their population levels inside three nature reserves on the Eastern Cape Wild Coast, South Africa, and to develop a strategic management plan to manage these natural resources in each reserve. Thirty key species were identified by local communities in and around Dwesa-Cwebe, Silaka and Mkambati Nature Reserves through community workshops. For forested areas belt transects of 100 m x 6 m where used. The basal circumference of key tree species within the belt transect was measured as well as the height of saplings (height < 150 m). Tree species were categorized based on densities, size class distribution (SCD) curves and values, and spatial grain. For grassland areas straight transects of 200 m long were used, along which ten 3 m x 3 m quadrates were placed at 20 m intervals. Within each grassland transect the height of herbs or tuft diameter of grasses was recorded and percentage cover estimated. Grassland species were categorized based on density, SCD curves and percentage cover. All species were placed into harvesting categories based on analysed ecological data that was collected in the field. Category 1 species were very rare or not found in the reserve and it was recommended that species be conserved and monitored.

    DISSERTATION A STUDY OF PLANT DOMESTICATION AND EVOLUTION THROUGH THE TAXONOMIC REVISION OF WILD NORTH AMERICAN HUMULUS, A PHYTOCHEMICAL ASSAY FOR STIMULANT ALKALOIDS IN CELASTRACEAE, AND A PHYLOGEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF CATHA EDULIS IN AREAS OF HISTORIC CULTIVATION Submitted by Luke Raymond Tembrock Department of Biology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2015 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Mark P. Simmons Amy L. Angert Christopher M. Richards Sarah M. Ward Copyright by Luke Raymond Tembrock 2015 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A STUDY OF PLANT DOMESTICATION AND EVOLUTION THROUGH THE TAXONOMIC REVISION OF WILD NORTH AMERICAN HUMULUS, A PHYTOCHEMICAL ASSAY FOR STIMULANT ALKALOIDS IN CELASTRACEAE, AND A PHYLOGEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF CATHA EDULIS IN AREAS OF HISTORIC CULTIVATION The cultivation of plant species is essential to the survival of humans. The process of artificial selection that is used to modify wild individuals into improved cultivars results in genetic and morphological changes from wild progenitors. In order to understand the evolutionary patterns and processes involved with artificial selection both wild and cultivated populations must be thoroughly studied. Numerous methods are used to study the process of evolution under cultivation such as biology, chemistry, geography, history, linguistics and archeology. The understanding of evolution in a crop species is essential in current improvement programs to increase yield for a given crop. I employed methods from the fields of taxonomy, analytical chemistry and phylogeography to study the process of evolution in cultivated plant species and/or their wild relatives. From a review of taxonomic, genetic, and phytochemical literature, as well as examination of morphological features I revised the wild North American Humulus (Cannabacae) in a manner that properly delimits the diversity found among the North American species.

    Ethnobotanical Survey in Canhane Village, District of Massingir

    Ribeiro et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine 2010, 6:33 http://www.ethnobiomed.com/content/6/1/33 JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Ethnobotanical survey in Canhane village, district of Massingir, Mozambique: medicinal plants and traditional knowledge Ana Ribeiro1*, Maria M Romeiras1, João Tavares1, Maria T Faria2 Abstract Background: Medicinal plants are used by 80% of people from developing countries to fulfill their primary health needs, occupying a key position on plant research and medicine. Taking into account that, besides their pharmaceutical importance, these plants contribute greatly to ecosystems’ stability, a continuous documentation and preservation of traditional knowledge is a priority. The objective of this study was to organize a database of medicinal plants including their applications and associated procedures in Canhane village, district of Massingir, province of Gaza, Mozambique. Methods: In order to gather information about indigenous medicinal plants and to maximize the collection of local knowledge, eleven informants were selected taking into account the dimension of the site and the fact that the vegetation presents a great homogeneity. The data were collected through intensive structured and semi- structured interviews performed during field research. Taxonomical identification of plant species was based on field observations and herbarium collections. Results: A total of 53 plant species have been reported, which were used to treat 50 different human health problems. More than half of the species were used for stomach and intestine related disturbances (including major diseases such as diarrhea and dysentery). Additionally, four species with therapeutic applications were reported for the first time, whose potential can further be exploited.

Woodhall Pretoria 2010 SANBI Biodiversity Series The South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) was established on 1 Sep- tember 2004 through the signing into force of the National Environmental Manage- ment: Biodiversity Act (NEMBA) No. 10 of 2004 by President Thabo Mbeki. The Act expands the mandate of the former National Botanical Institute to include responsibili- ties relating to the full diversity of South Africa’s fauna and flora, and builds on the internationally respected programmes in conservation, research, education and visitor services developed by the National Botanical Institute and its predecessors over the past century. The vision of SANBI: Biodiversity richness for all South Africans. SANBI’s mission is to champion the exploration, conservation, sustainable use, appre- ciation and enjoyment of South Africa’s exceptionally rich biodiversity for all people. SANBI Biodiversity Series publishes occasional reports on projects, technologies, work- shops, symposia and other activities initiated by or executed in partnership with SANBI.
