In present investigation it is observed about 4 Families, 5 Genus and 5 Species were identified with relevant information and documented in this paper with regard to their Botanical Name, family, Habitat, flowering Fruiting session and medicinal properties like anti- inflammatory, antioxidant, antipyretic, anti-diabetic, anticancer etc. Keywords: Succulent plants, family, genus, antipyretic Introduction Drought and increased temperature of the Earth's surface associated with climate change are [1, 2] likely to pose significant social and economic challenges . Understanding the impacts of these changes on primary producers such as plants, and their value as natural capital, will be crucial for designing measures to reduce the negative consequences of climate perturbations. A multitude of adaptations to heat and water stress have evolved in plants to regulate metabolism and reproduction in water‐limiting environments. The succulent plants also known as succulents or sometimes fat plants having some parts that are more than normally thickened and fleshy, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The succulents comes from the latin word sucus, meaning juice or sap succulent plants may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems.

  • Cactus Chronicle
    www.lacactus.com Volume 84, Issue 7 July, 2018 Cactus Chronicle Mission Statement: The Los Angeles Cactus and Succulent Society (LACSS) cultivates the study and enjoyment of cacti and succulent plants through educational programs and activities that promote the hobby within a community of fellow enthusiasts and among the greater public. General Meeting Thursday July 5, 2018 Doors open 6:15pm Sepulveda Garden Center, 16633 Magnolia Blvd, Encino, CA 91436 July 5, 2018 Guest Speaker: Ernesto Sandoval “Propagation of Succulents from Seed at the UC Davis Botanical Conservatory” Description: Ernesto and Company been experimenting with various techniques for propagating succulents from seed and want to share these techniques and tips for better seed germination. If you haven’t tried growing from seed or if you are looking for ways to perhaps increase your suc- cess rate, Ernesto thinks you’ll appreciate this visual tour of propagation of plants such Welwitsch- ia, Aloes, Cacti, Dorstenia, Othonna, Mesembs and more. Bio:Ernesto Sandoval has been wondering and seeking questions to why plants grow and look the way that they do from a young age. Now he explains and interprets the world of plants to people of a variety of ages and experiences from K-12 to me and you. He regularly lectures to a variety of western Garden Clubs throughout the year and particularly to Succulent Clubs throughout Califor- nia and elsewhere since that group of plants is his particular passion within his general passion for plants. He describes himself as a "Jose of all plants, master of none." Ernesto thoroughly enjoys helping everyone, and gardeners in particular, to understand why and how plants do what they do.

  • An Analysis of the Fire Regime and Its Effects on Post-Fire Recovery in Namaqualand Granite Renosterveld Vegetation
    An analysis of the fire regime and its effects on post-fire recovery in Namaqualand Granite Renosterveld vegetation Megan Brigette Simons A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Magister Scientiae, in the Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, Faculty of Natural Science, University of the Western Cape. Supervisor: Dr. Richard Knight (Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology) Co-supervisors: Dr. Igshaan Samuels (Animal Production Institute, Agricultural Research Council) Mr. Clement Cupido (Animal Production Institute, Agricultural Research Council) November 2017 An analysis of the fire regime and its effects on post-fire recovery in Namaqualand Granite Renosterveld vegetation Megan Brigette Simons Keywords: Namaqualand Granite Renosterveld Fire regime Livestock grazing Elytropappus rhinocerotis Plant diversity Forage productivity Biodiversity Heterogeneity i http://etd.uwc.ac.za/ Abstract Namaqualand Granite Renosterveld (NGR) is a fire-prone shrubland largely confined to the Kamiesberg Uplands. More than 20% has been transformed by agricultural activities such as grazing and dryland cropping. The history of fires of Namaqualand Granite Renosterveld was assessed over a period from 2000 – 2015. Furthermore, this study aimed to assess the effects of fire and grazing on the dynamics of Elytropappus rhinocerotis and the post-fire vegetation recovery. Satellite imagery, field observations and combination of field sampling techniques were used to compile a comprehensive fire database and to collect data on vegetation parameters. The Kamiesberg Uplands has a human-induced fire regime with a fire frequency of 4.2 years, which appears to be shorter for NGR compared to other Renosterveld – types. The majority of the fires were in summer and early autumn which is the ecologically accepted season with high fire intensities.
