  • Las Especies Del Género Alyogyne Alef. (Malvaceae, Malvoideae) Cultivadas En España
    Las especies del género Alyogyne Alef. (Malvaceae, Malvoideae) cultivadas en España © 2008-2019 José Manuel Sánchez de Lorenzo-Cáceres www.arbolesornamentales.es El género Alyogyne Alef. comprende arbustos perennes, con indumento denso o de pelos esparcidos, con las hojas alternas, pecioladas, enteras, palmatilobadas o muy divididas, con estípulas diminutas y caedizas. Las flores son solitarias, axilares, sobre pedicelos largos y articulados. El epicáliz posee 4-10(-12) segmentos unidos en la base; el cáliz consta de 5 sépalos, más largos que el epicáliz, y la corola es más o menos acampanada, regular, formada por 5 pétalos obovados de color blan- co, rosa, lila o púrpura, adnatos a la base de la columna estaminal, cubiertos de pelos estrellados externamente. El androceo posee numerosos estambres (50-100) dispuestos en verticilos, con los filamentos unidos formando una columna que rodea al estilo, y las anteras uniloculares, dehiscentes por suturas longitudinales. El gineceo posee un ovario súpero, con 3-5 lóculos, cada uno de los cuales encierra 3-10 rudimentos seminales. Los estilos están unidos casi hasta el ápice, dividiéndose finalmente en 5 estigmas. El fruto es una cápsula dehis- cente por 3-5 valvas, conteniendo numerosas semillas (3-50) de pequeño tamaño, reniformes o globosas, glabras o pelosas. El nombre procede del griego alytos = unido y gyne = mujer, en alu- sión a los estilos unidos. Según Lewton (1915), el nombre debería ser Allogyne, del griego állos = otro, diferente y gyne = mujer, hembra, en alusión a la diferencia con Hibiscus en cuanto a los estilos. Realmente esta es la gran diferencia con el género Hibiscus, donde los estilos se separan por debajo de los estigmas, mientras que en Alyogyne están unidos justo hasta llegar a los estig- mas, momento en que se dividen.

Herbarium Soutpansbergensis, P.O. Box 1734, Makhado, 0920. Abstract The Major Vegetation Types and plant communities of the Soutpansberg Centre of Endemism are described in detail with special reference to the Soutpansberg Conservancy and the Blouberg Nature Reserve. Phytosociological data from 466 sample plots were ordinated using a Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DECORANA) and classified using Two–way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN). The resulting classification was further refined with table–sorting procedures based on the Braun–Blanquet floristic–sociological approach of vegetation classification using MEGATAB. Eight Major Vegetation Types were identified and described as Eragrostis lehmanniana var. lehmanniana–Sclerocarya birrea subsp. caffra BNR Northern Plains Bushveld, Euclea divinorum–Acacia tortilis BNR Southern Plains Bushveld, Englerophytum magalismontanum–Combretum molle BNR Mountain Bushveld, Adansonia digitata–Acacia nigrescens Soutpansberg Arid Northern Bushveld, Catha edulis–Flueggia virosa Soutpansberg Moist Mountain Thickets, Diplorhynchus condylocarpon–Burkea africana Soutpansberg Leached Sandveld, Rhus rigida var. rigida–Rhus magalismontanum subsp. coddii Soutpansberg Mistbelt Vegetation and Xymalos monospora–Rhus chirendensis Soutpansberg Forest Vegetation. 26 Introduction The Soutpansberg Conservancy (SC) and the Blouberg Nature Reserve (BNR) reveal extremely rich diversities of plant communities relative to the sizes of these conservation areas (Van Wyk & Smith 2001).

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.

  • AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY HIBISCUS and RELATED GENERA STUDY GROUP JULY 2012 NEWSLETTER No. 26 : ISSN 1488-1488
    AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY HIBISCUS AND RELATED GENERA STUDY GROUP JULY 2012 NEWSLETTER No. 26 : ISSN 1488-1488 In this newsletter we are looking at Hibiscus meraukensis, which is the most common species found throughout tropical Australia. It has a long history dating right back to Captain Cook’s voyage along the Australian east coast during 1770. 1 The Captain Cook image + vest image on the cover page accompanied a news article written by Suzanne Dorfield appearing in the Courier – Mail Newspaper last September. It was reported that the 18 th century vest was made by James Cook’s wife, Elizabeth for her husband’s return to England and is embroided with Cape York Hibiscus flowers. David Hockings and myself looked at an enlargement of the image and decided that the Hibiscus was most likely Hibiscus meraukensis . Experts believe that she looked at drawings of the flowers by Joseph Banks from the ships landings, making it a rare piece of Queensland’s history. This important artefact was put up for auction in New Zealand and was apparently ‘passed in’. The second image depicts Hibiscus meraukensis on an Australian postage stamp issued on 12 th March 1986. Spring Meeting Planning is underway for a Study Group Meeting on Saturday 29 th of September. Beverley Kapernick of 188 Allen Road, Chatsworth, Gympie 4570 has kindly offered to host this meeting. Please try and arrive between 10 and 10.30 am. She has proposed a BBQ lunch at $5.00 per head to follow on from a short meeting in the morning. Please bring salads or sweets.

Plants are arranged alphabetically within families. Hyperlinks are provided for quick access to historical material found on-line. Attention is drawn (in the green boxes below the species accounts) to some features which may help identification or may interest the reader, but these are by no means diagnostic. Where technical terms are used, these are explained in parenthesis. The ultimate on-line authority on the Western Australian flora is FloraBase. It provides the most up-to-date nomenclature, details of subspecies, flowering periods and distribution maps. Please use this guide in conjunction with FloraBase. Part 2 — POSTS AND PLATES provides short historical accounts of some the people involved in erecting and removing posts and plates on Dirk Hartog Island between 1616 and 1907, and those who may have collected plants on the island during their visit. Home FLOWERS PHOTOGRAPHS REFERENCES BIRD LIST Home Flower Photos The plants are presented in alphabetical order within plant families - this is so that plants that are closely related to one another will be grouped together on nearby pages. All of the family names and genus names are given at the top of each page and are also listed in an index.
