Volume 29 , No. 1 News, Advice & Special Offers for Bay Area Gardeners March/April 2015 5 Mediterranean plants from around the world The Bay Area is known for its Mediterranean-style climate; mild, wet winters, and hot, dry summers.

These regions host a wonderful group of plants that are well suited to this mild/wet to hot/dry weather pattern and can thrive without summer irrigation, are low-maintenance, and are mostly pest and disease free.

SIGNATURE: DATE: Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za PATHOGENS ASSOCIATED WITH DISEASES OF PROTEA, LEUCOSPERMUM ANDLEUCADENDRONSPP. SUMMARY The manuscript consists of six chapters that represent research on different diseases and records of new diseases of the Proteaceae world-wide. The fungal descriptions presented in this thesis are not effectively published, and will thus be formally published elsewhere in scientific journals. Chapter one is a review that gives a detailed description of the major fungal pathogens of the genera Protea, Leucospermum and Leucadendron, as reported up to 1996. The pathogens are grouped according to the diseases they cause on roots, leaves, stems and flowers, as well as the canker causing fungi. In chapter two, several new fungi occurring on leaves of Pro tea, Leucospermum, Telopea and Brabejum collected from South Africa, Australia or New Zealand are described. The following fungi are described: Cladophialophora proteae, Coniolhyrium nitidae, Coniothyrium proteae, Coniolhyrium leucospermi,Harknessia leucospermi, Septoria prolearum and Mycosphaerella telopeae spp. nov. Furthermore, two Phylloslicla spp., telopeae and owaniana are also redecribed. The taxonomy of the Eisinoe spp.

Since becoming Executive Director in September 2012, I have relished the opportunity to continue the work of this beloved organization that has been planting kids in nature since 1970.
