  • Moraea Insolens | Plantz Africa About:Reader?Url=
    Moraea insolens | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/moraea-insolens pza.sanbi.org Moraea insolens | Plantz Africa Introduction Moraea insolens is a critically endangered, cormous plant, with dazzling orange-red or rarely white- or cream-coloured, salver-shaped blooms, with prominent, deep brown markings to attract its beetle pollinators. It is very rare in cultivation, but can be successfully grown as a container subject. Description Description This deciduous, winter-growing geophyte grows 200–350 mm high and has a small, rounded corm, protected by a covering of hard, light brown outer tunics. The corm produces two, dark brown, basal sheaths and has a solitary, linear, bright green, channelled leaf. The slender flower stem has prominent nodes and is sometimes branched, 1 of 7 2017/02/15 02:42 PM Moraea insolens | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/moraea-insolens producing a succession of salver-shaped flowers, each lasting three days, from between two spathe bracts. The tepals vary in shades of light to bright orange-red and are rarely white or cream-coloured. The three outer tepals are larger than the three inner ones and all are adorned with a deep brown, arrow-shaped marking near the base, sometimes outlined in white. The filaments are united into a central column with three long anthers symmetrically arranged opposite the three outer tepals. The anthers produce sticky, bright orange pollen. The fruit is an elliptic capsule containing many small, light brown, irregularly shaped seeds. The plant flowers from mid- to late spring (mid-September to mid-October) and is completely dormant in summer.

  • First Complete Account of the Genus Lachenalia Published
    Book Review First complete account of the genus Lachenalia Page 1 of 1 First complete account of the genus BOOK TITLE: Lachenalia published The genus Lachenalia AUTHOR: South Africa is home to 6% of the world’s approximately 370 000 plant species, making it the country with the Graham Duncan richest temperate flora in the world. This dazzling diversity includes many large genera, and it is not often that a monograph appears that describes an entire, large genus. Lachenalia (also known as Cape hyacinths or viooltjies) is one such large genus. It has 133 known species that are confined to South Africa and (marginally) southern ISBN: Namibia. These endemic plants have been popular with specialist bulb growers worldwide for over 100 years. 9781842463826 The publication in 2012 of a comprehensive account of the genus marks the culmination of the life’s work of two 20th-century South African plant taxonomists whose work between 1929 and 2012 has spanned more than PUBLISHER: eight decades. Kew Publishing, Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, Early records of Lachenalia date back to the late 17th century. In 1880, the Kew botanist John Baker published GBP120 (hardcover) an account that described 27 species, divided among six genera. Baker later described more species, which culminated in 1897 in a monograph (published in the 6th volume of Flora Capensis) that recognised 42 species in five sub-genera. Most of the subsequent taxonomic work was done by Ms Winsome Barker, first curator of PUBLISHED: the Compton Herbarium at Kirstenbosch. Her first publication on the genus appeared in 1930, and over the 2012 next 59 years she described 47 new species and 11 new varieties.

RRP AU $268.99 With the most recent ordinal and familial classification of the angiosperms, the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (2016) (APG IV) places 14 families in the Asparagales; together they comprise c. 35,513 species of global distribution. Orchidaceae (26,460 species) dwarfs all other Asparagoid families and makes the order the far most speciose of all monocot orders. Amaryllidaceae (Christenhusz et al. 2017) is largely warm-temperate and tropical in distribution with representatives on all the habitable continents. The amaryllids, with c. 2,140 species constitute the fourth Figure 1. Cover art for The largest family in Asparagales after Orchidaceae (25,000 species), Amaryllidaceae of Southern Africa. Asparagaceae (3,220 species) and Iridaceae (2,244 species), followed by Asphodelaceae (1,200 species). All other families are considerably smaller (Christenhusz et al. 2017). Three subfamilies are recognised in Amaryllidaceae: Amaryllideae (c. 1,000 species), Allioideae (1,134 species) and Agapanthoideae (7 species). A major radiation of Amaryllideae has occurred in southern Africa, with c. 250 species (11.6% of global total of Amaryllideae). The greatest radiation of Amaryllidaceae is in the Neotropics with 375 species (17.5% of global total) with a lesser centre of distribution in the Mediterranean basin.

  • Avisit to the Cape
    A visit to the Cape In the first week of October 2012, I had the opportunity to visit South Africa. I went to Swellendam, some 250 km from Cape Town, where I strolled through the Fynbos. And, on my way back to Belgium by way of Cape Town, I, of course, spent a wonderful afternoon in Kirstenbosch Botanic Garden. The flora of the Cape Region is of an almost unnatural beauty. It is also quite unique and very rich in species endemic to this part of the world. October is the beginning of spring and the temperatures are moderate. Most of the annuals are flowering, as are a lot of bulbs and quite a number of shrubs. It is, therefore, the best period of the year to enjoy this part of the world.A lot of flowers there are unknown to our gardens. Of course I am familiar with Agapanthus (not in flower when I was there) and Kniphofia, to name just a few, but others were new to me, even on the genus level. I wonder if, or should I say when, we will see more of them outside botanic collections. In the meantime, here are a few bulbs and perennials I dream about… Albuca canadensis (= A. maxima) is a bulbous perennial that reaches as much as 1.5 m in height. The flowers are arranged in racemes of weakly nodding, white flowers with broad green bands. The leaves ate fleshy, channeled and clasp the base of the stems. From Namaqualand to the southern Cape. I found this beautiful plant several times on the stony soils around Swellendam and in Little Karoo.

  • Alpinebig Ideas for Small Plants!
    Issue 38 • June 2012 Alpine newsBIG ideas for small plants! Newsletter of the Alpine Garden Society Society Stand at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012 The Society once again staged a successful Membership Promotion & Sales Stand on Eastern Avenue. The stand featured a prominent display of alpines planted in a raised sleeper bed by Ray Drew and Christopher Grey-Wilson. The stand proved extremely popular with visitors, helping to raise the awareness of the public to the delights of growing alpine plants and importantly gained us some new members. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped to build and staff the stand during the week. I also particularly want to thank Richard Clements and his daughter Ruth who laboured on after darkness fell to help dismantle the stand. We waved goodnight to them at around 10.15 pm and then, with the help of my husband Jim, set off to drive the van back to Pershore.

  • Hardy Nerine Study Day
    REPORT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF A HARDY NERINE STUDY DAY Held at RHS Garden, Wisley on 26 October 2007 Jointly sponsored by: RHS Herbaceous Plant Committee and the Nerine & Amaryllid Society 2 Hardy Nerine Study Day Programme 10:30 – 1:00 Study session of plants brought by participants. Led by Dr JOHN DAVID (RHS) with GRAHAM DUNCAN (SANBI, Kirstenbosch, South Africa) & MATT BISHOP (Garden House, Devon) 1:30 – 3:30: Talks Chaired by Capt. PETER ERSKINE CBE, VMH 1:30 Graham Duncan, Specialist Horticulturist: South African Bulbs, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, South Africa. Nerine species in the wild and in cultivation. 2:00 John David, Head of Botany, RHS. The introduction of Nerine bowdenii into cultivation in the UK. 2:30 Matt Bishop, Head Gardener, The Garden House, Buckland Monachorum, Devon. Nerine hybrids raised by Terry Jones. 3:00 Andrew Tompsett, formerly at the Rosewarne Experimental Horticulture Station in Cornwall. Bulb physiology in relation to the cultivation of Nerine. Objectives of the day Nerine bowdenii is a widely grown autumn‐flowering bulb which is now regarded as hardy in most parts of the UK. It is variable in the wild and appears to be even more so in cultivation. Cultivar names have been given to some, but not all, the variants but none has been properly documented. This situation has become apparent from examining the various Nerine cultivars submitted to the RHS Herbaceous Plant Committee as well as at gatherings of the Nerine & Amaryllid Society. The aim of the study day was to gather together as much authoritatively named material and as many experts and enthusiasts as possible to attempt to establish a better understanding of what is in cultivation and what names can, with confidence, be applied to them.
