  • H3.3 Macaronesian Inland Cliff
    European Red List of Habitats - Screes Habitat Group H3.3 Macaronesian inland cliff Summary The perennial vegetation of crevices and ledges of cliff faces in Macaronesia away from coastal salt-spray is of very diverse character - some, for example, dominated by succulents, others rich in ferns and bryophytes characteristic of shaded situations - and it includes several hundreds of taxa endemic to the archipelagoes. The main threats are mountaineering and rock climbing, outdoor sports and leisure activities, and construction of infrastructures such as roads and motorways. Synthesis There is no evidence of significant past reductions, either in the last 50 years or historically, and also future prospects are good, as no serious threats are envisaged, besides touristic/leisure activities and putative faulty environmental impact assessments that may overlook this habitat as valuable. Reduction in quantity, reduction in quality and criteria of geographic distribution yield the Least Concern (LC) category. In spite of the LC category, conservation policy and management should restrict to the maximum any threat to or reduction of the habitat, as it has a very high conservation value, because of high endemism of species and communities with many local and regional variaties. Overall Category & Criteria EU 28 EU 28+ Red List Category Red List Criteria Red List Category Red List Criteria Least Concern - Least Concern - Sub-habitat types that may require further examination Four general subtypes can be distinguished based on species composition and different ecological conditions. However, at present, no data are available to carry out an individual assessment of each of them. In the future, if detailed plot sampling has been carried out, such an evaluation may be possible.

  • Aeonium Webb & Berthelot in Gibraltar
    Comunicaciones 1 HE GENUS AEONIUM WEBB & BERTHELOT IN GIBRALTAR Brian M. Lamb /Conservador del Gibraltar Botanic Gardens The genus Aeonium Webb & Berthelot belongs to the family Crassulaceae often refered to as the Houseleek family. Some 32 species are endemic to the Canary Islands, two to the Cape Verde Islands, two to Madeira, one to Morocco and possibly today three on the other side of Africa from northem Kenya through to Arabia. The three species that can be seen in Gibraltar are: A. undulatum native to Gran Canaria A. haworthii native to Tenerife A. arboreum native to Morocco. The two Canarian Aeoniums have almost certainly been introduced by man, probably during the latter part of the 19th century, particularly A. ~indulatumwhich is usually only found as a cultivated plant grown only on a small scale. However, A. haworthii is to be found in a number of places in Gibraltar, as naturalised colonies growing from pockets or fissures in the limestone rock, particularly on the eastem side, southwards from Catalan Bay, while on the westem side a sizeable colony exists below Bleak House and a small one is now forming near Camp Bay, growing in association with native Sedum. A. haworthii seems to be quite a popular patio and verandah plant, as it is not a giant growing species, and has lovely red edged glaucous leaves. The flower colour is variable, from white or pale yellow through to rose-pink. The seeds ofAeonium are very small, as with most members of the family Crassulacease, produced in great abundance, and are easily distributed by the wind.

Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material were sorted. The lists of species grown in the last 122 years are constructed in such a way as to show that throughout that period at least 1423 taxa of succulent plants from 254 genera and 17 families inhabited the Garden’s cold glass- house collection.

  • ADRIAN HARDY HAWORTH BIOGRAPHY Chuck Staples, CSSA Historian
    ADRIAN HARDY HAWORTH BIOGRAPHY Chuck Staples, CSSA Historian Haworth, Adrian Hardy (1767–1833)—during the golden time of botany, a leading author of succulent plants in England—with the ever popular Haworthia genus named in his honor. Born in Cottingham near Hull, England on 19 April 1767, Adrian Hardy Haworth became a gardener, amateur botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, ornithologist and entomologist. He was the son of Benjamin Haworth of Haworth Hall. His early education was with tutors which was directed toward a career in law. However, after his older brother inherited the estate after their father's death, and after allowing AH Haworth a sufficient allowance to give up the legal profession—at age 21 he devoted all his time to natural history pursuits of plants and insects. At Chelsea, England AH Haworth had one of the finest private gardens in all England—assembling the first important succulent collection of his time. His research work was due to regular visits to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Key, England—and the use of the library and herbarium of Sir Joseph Banks. Of special interest to the succulent plant enthusiast is the popular genus Haworthia that was named in AH Haworth's honor in 1809 by Dr Henri Auguste (1777–1814). Among the generic plants described by AH Haworth are: Duvalia, Epiphyllum, Mammillaria, Orbea, Tridentea and Tromotriche in 1812; Pectinaria in 1819; and Cephalophyllum, Hymenogyne and Monanthes in 1821. The genus Epiphyllum was first used as a name in c1689 by Dr Paul Hermann (1646-1695), but was never published by him until AH Haworth did so in 1812.

  • Kruiedokters, Plants and Molecules: Relations of Power, Wind, and Matter in Namaqualand
    Kruiedokters, plants and molecules: relations of power, wind, and matter in Namaqualand Joshua B. Cohen (CHNJOS009) Thesis Presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Anthropology Section, School of African and Gender Studies, Anthropology and Linguistics UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN February 2015 University of Cape Town 1 The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town Acknowledgements A heartfelt and appreciative thank you to every single person in the Kamiesberg (and those encountered on fieldwork trips further afield) who gave me the time of day, who shared cups of tea, wine, beer, stories, anecdotes, laughs and arguments. All those who afforded me time out of their lives to speak with me, to help me understand in some way the realities described in this thesis. I recognise that many people in the Kamiesberg actively deny the reality of many of the ‘magical’ forces and practices detailed in this thesis. On the otherhand, these are very real presences in the lives of other people in the area whom I have come to know. Because of this, I want to stress that I am only expressing my understanding of these realities from the perspective of some people in the Kamiesberg. In particular, I want to thank “Koos”, a kruiedokter (literally ‘herb doctor’) who welcomed me into his home, who treated me like a huiskind (home child) and spent so many, many hours teaching me about herbs, about his work, and who allowed me to sit in on so many of his consultations.

As culmination it is also an impetus to continue to that journey. In achieving this personal goal many people, supervisors, friends, family and University colleagues have been instrumental in contributing to the final product. The initial motivation and inspiration for me to start this study was given by Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford, and my friend Alison Howman. For that challenge I thank you. I am deeply indebted to my three supervisors Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford and Dr. Aidan Davison. Each in their individual, concerted and special way guided me to this omega point.
