Wow, they have done more work and it is very classy and colourful. The dark shiny bamboo on the fence really shows up the plants. Karen has massed her tillandsias on the carport wall - they would be the healthiest collection of tillandsias in our area. Large pots holding alcantarea and Werauhia sanguinolenta are quite stunning. Both the front and back gardens are landscaped with bromeliads of every genera, colour and shape, complimented by palms and many other tropical plants. It is a credit to both Karen & Brian, especially as each are in full time employment. Members enjoyed the variety of plants and the chattering birds gave them an excuse to look at the garden and think, instead of listening. * We had a wonderful array of plants and again the tillandsias were exceptionally bright. Dave’s T. ‘Marron’ had developed a glowing yellow centre; Marguerite’s clump of T. ‘Fuego’ was on fire and Nalda’s dainty looking T. filifolia had several spikes with mauve flowers. * With 10 entries in Open section Bromeliad, voting was close with 5 entries tying for second place.

The leaves now reach out to over a metre, each one now being 15cm wide. The markings are prominent and the leaves shine with health. Orthophytum ‘Warren Loose’ grown by Gloria was four plants in a large pot. Three had inflorescences and they cascaded over the rim. It was spectacular and somehow Gloria had kept the scurf intact. In cultivation we attempt to keep the inflorescence upright to suit our desires, but in habitat orthophytum lean to deposit their offsets and seed for future plants. The hybrid Orthophytum ‘Warren Loose’ came from seed of Orthophytum gurkenii grown by Bob Whitman. Vriesea ‘Splenriet’ grown by Karen Cross had long wide leaves with excellent dark markings. The inflorescence was straight and tall. Vr. ‘Splenriet’ is a Corn Bak hybrid from Vr. splendens that usually produces just one offset from the centre of the mother plant. Neoregelia ‘Shelldance’ a hybrid by Don Woods of Perth from Neoregelia ‘Fairy Paint’. This plant does not conform to a regular shape and we had two examples to see - one was open flat in flower, the other had the centre leaves reaching upward almost in perfect mathematical precision. The latter was grown by Maria, the former by Frances and it has some history - this plant had originally been grown by Lesley who donated it to our 2010 Christmas raffle and was won by Frances. It already developed a long stem and now had small hair offsets at the base. The pictured plant of curls was included in Nigel Thompson’s WBC 2008 display - he had curled it specially for the event! It caused a lot of enquiries and people requested offsets. I should have taken deposits for orders!! Dyckia ‘Yellow Glow’ grown by Dave Weston was purchased at New Orleans WBC It does have vicious spines but the contrast between the outer green and yellow central leaves is stunning. It is a cultivar of Dyckia brevifolia and we hope it has at least 50 offsets. Neoregelias ‘Earth Rose’ and ‘Rainbow Warrior’ grown by Bernice were huge and had great colour. These neos really love living at Mareeba with Bernice Mark. Androlepsis skinneri also loves living at Mareeba with John Mark. The leaves were wide and a lustrous cherry red. 5 Show & Tell with Dave Weston Bifurcation & Trifurcation - Neoregelia ‘Moana Beauty’- Dave showed plants that were bifurcated, that had two heads that had split from the base, and one that was trifurcated, had three heads. Apart from this, the plants looked healthy and had good colour. Many of us had this same happening with this plant. Dave said it was the decision of the owner whether to split the plants or leave them to grow as one. Architectural Plants - Dave suggested plants could be used to enhance landscapes when they were positioned to compliment each other, using their structural shapes. He suggested grouping plants like Billbergia ‘Domingos Martens’ with their strong vertical shapes and colours to compliment the circular shapes and softer colours of Vriesea gigantea. Alcantareas are now popular landscape plants, being used at entrances to soften columns and are spectacular when used to line avenues. ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now that you are ‘a full bottle’ on Canistropsis after I gave you two entries in the last Bromelcairns, here is the article I intended to include. The Weather. “Everyone complains about the weather but no one does anything about it” Mark Twain. The rain we had last month after strong gusting winds, was very welcome as our ground had become very dry. We were blessed with steady soaking rain and it was raining concurrently throughout the whole Cairns area - very welcome as we have been having suburb rain, one suburb at a time. This rain was really beneficial, the change in the plants was amazing. I realized I should give my garden more water, I have and my plants have responded well.

EDERf •Department of Botany, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045-2106; and t Department of Biological Sciences, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois 62026-1651 The relationship between leaf anatomy, specifically the percent of leaf volume occupied by water- storage parenchyma (hydrenchyma), and the contribution of respiratory C02 during Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) was investigated in 12 epiphytic species of Tillandsia. It has been postulated that the hydrenchyma, which contributes to C02 exchange through respiration only, may be causally related to the recently observed phenomenon of C02 recycling during CAM. Among the 12 species of Tillandsia, leaves of T. usneoides and T. bergeri exhibited 0% hydrenchyma, while the hydrenchyma in the other species ranged from 2.9% to 53% of leaf cross-sectional area. Diurnal malate fluctuation and nighttime atmospheric C02 uptake were measured in at least four individuals of each species. A significant excess of diurnal malate fluctuation as compared with atmospheric C02 absorbed overnight was observed only in T. schiedeana. This species had an intermediate proportion (30%) of hydrenchyma in its leaves. Results of this study do not support the hypothesis that C02 recycling during CAM may reflect respiratory contributions of C02 from the tissue hydrenchyma.

  • Water Relations of Bromeliaceae in Their Evolutionary Context
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2016, 181, 415–440. With 2 figures Think tank: water relations of Bromeliaceae in their evolutionary context JAMIE MALES* Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EA, UK Received 31 July 2015; revised 28 February 2016; accepted for publication 1 March 2016 Water relations represent a pivotal nexus in plant biology due to the multiplicity of functions affected by water status. Hydraulic properties of plant parts are therefore likely to be relevant to evolutionary trends in many taxa. Bromeliaceae encompass a wealth of morphological, physiological and ecological variations and the geographical and bioclimatic range of the family is also extensive. The diversification of bromeliad lineages is known to be correlated with the origins of a suite of key innovations, many of which relate directly or indirectly to water relations. However, little information is known regarding the role of change in morphoanatomical and hydraulic traits in the evolutionary origins of the classical ecophysiological functional types in Bromeliaceae or how this role relates to the diversification of specific lineages. In this paper, I present a synthesis of the current knowledge on bromeliad water relations and a qualitative model of the evolution of relevant traits in the context of the functional types. I use this model to introduce a manifesto for a new research programme on the integrative biology and evolution of bromeliad water-use strategies. The need for a wide-ranging survey of morphoanatomical and hydraulic traits across Bromeliaceae is stressed, as this would provide extensive insight into structure– function relationships of relevance to the evolutionary history of bromeliads and, more generally, to the evolutionary physiology of flowering plants.

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com South African Journal of Botany 77 (2011) 996–1011 www.elsevier.com/www.elsevier.com/locate/sajb Review Plant biotechnology in South Africa: Micropropagation research endeavours, prospects and challenges ⁎ M. Moyo, M.W. Bairu, S.O. Amoo, J. Van Staden Research Centre for Plant Growth and Development, School of Biological and Conservation Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg, Private Bag X01, Scottsville 3209, South Africa Abstract Research in plant biotechnology is playing a crucial role in the production and conservation of plant-based resources globally. Being a country with rich and diverse floral resources, South Africa has a genuine opportunity to develop efficient and competitive plant biotechnology sectors. South Africa has a policy framework, in the form of a National Biotechnology Strategy that supports biotechnology research. The presence of competitive research infrastructure coupled with the government's willingness to commit significant resources will certainly help realise this. South Africa's plant biotechnology research has potential to make more significant contributions to the national economy. In this review, whilst highlighting the success, the research endeavours, prospects and challenges hindering the practical application of micropropagation research outputs are discussed. © 2011 SAAB.

Troxell (DT) Support from the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Ian Anderson’s Caves Branch Jungle Lodge, Environmental Resource Institute - University of Belize [fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org] [964] version 1 11/2017 The genus Tillandsia in Belize includes approximately 30 species, which can be found growing singly, or in large colonies, and can usually be identified by their non-spiny leaves, often flattened inflorescence branches, symmetrical sepals, free petals, and often colorful flower clusters which fade quickly after flowering. They are most always epiphytic growing on trees and shrubs to gain better access to sunlight; an occasional species is found on rocks or on the ground (e.g., T. dasyliriifolia). Many have gray/silvery, scaly leaves (e.g., T. pruinosa, T. streptophylla). The scales (or “trichomes”) help capture water and nutrients from the environment. Some spe- cies form water-holding tanks by means of their overlapping leaves. These tanks are rich with nutrients from the environment, provide sustenance for the plant, and create important habitat for animals in the forest canopy. The genus is found throughout Belize, but reaches its peak of species diversity on the high summits of the Maya Mountains.
