The University of Arizona Site Description School ofNatural Resources The study area was near the campground at Epupa Falls, Biological Sciences East Namibia. More specifically, it was 1 km south of the Kunene Tucson AZ 85721 River's banks on the border ofNamibia and Angola, in a dry ravine (map p. 4). The aspect of the study site was northeast At first glance the common baobab tree does not seem that with an azimuth of75 degrees, the slope was relatively gentle unusual. Upon further inspection one tree in Namibia proved at 17 degrees and the GPS coordinates in map datum Nad83 that they can in fact be quite unique. In five days time, 248 are Zone 33 South, 314678 Basting 8119576 Northing. The cavities were discovered in the tree, 4 gecko species turned baobab itself was relatively small in comparison to those out to be permanent residents, and 24 different bird species located closer to the river. Its circumference was 4 7 feet and used the tree. The cavities housed 4 bird nests, 4 gecko nests the height was approximately 21 feet. However, four of the (2 with egg shells), and a carnivore den, wasp nests, termite branches were over 3 feet in diameter, adding a great deal tracks, and countless spider webs. The study was too short of surface area to the tree. in duration to make any sweeping conclusions, but it hints at the possibility that baobabs may be linked to high animal The surrounding area's vegetation type is classified as biodiversity. arid savannah woodland. Savannas are most commonly defined as tropical seasonal ecosystems with a continuous Introduction and Background herbaceous cover and a discontinuous cover of trees (Belsky The baobab tree is part of the Bombacaceae family which 1990). The arid savannah areas in Namibia are further comprises 30 different genera of tree species. Four of broken into 3 more specific vegetation type classifications: these are classified as succulents including the genus of bushveld, lowveld, and thorn veld. The study site falls within the baobabs, Adansonia (Baum 2004). The baobabs are the thomveld. regarded as the largest succulent plants in the world by most botanists. The genus comprises only 8 species, 6 of which are found only on the island of Madagascar. There is one species each on the continents ofAfrica and Australia. Long distance dispersal via the ocean may explain the presence of this unique tree in Australia and Africa (Baum 1998). The species of baobab monitored during this study is found in 32 African countries. There are an abundance of different names for the so-called 'common baobab' (Adansonia digitata). In English it is known as the Monkey Bread Tree, Tree of Life, Upside Down Tree, Sour-Gourd Tree, Lemonade Tree, and Dead Rat Tree. In other languages it is Kremetartboom (Afrikans); Isimuku, UmShimulu, IsiMuhu (Zulu); Ximuwu (Tsonga); Mowana (Tswana); Muvhuyu (Venda),just to name a few, but no matter what it was called, the trees were and are an important source of food, drink, and medicine to indigenous people. The hollow trunks of the trees can store water, the pithy bark can be used to make ropes and baskets, and the vitamin C rich pulp of the fruits can be used to make a lemonade-like drink and numerous traditional medicines. Lastly, the roasted seeds make a coffee-like blend that has been sold and used in trade for thousands of years (Pakenham 2005). Annually the trees produce enormous, carrion-scented flowers that last only a single day and are pollinated by Adansonia digitata (LH) 4 Desert Plants Most of the thomveld woodland in Namibia is dominated by Mopane trees ( Colophospermum mopane), although at least 5 other deciduous tree species were identified in this study area (Table 1). Rat's tail grass (Sporobolus pyramidalis) and lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula) were the 2 dominant grasses in the area, which is generally considered to be a sign of overgrazing (Scholes and Archer 1997). There was an obvious presence of both goats and cattle in the vicinity.

  • Botanical Composition and Species Diversity of Arid and Desert Rangelands in Tataouine, Tunisia
    land Article Botanical Composition and Species Diversity of Arid and Desert Rangelands in Tataouine, Tunisia Mouldi Gamoun and Mounir Louhaichi * International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), 2049 Ariana, Tunisia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +216-7175-2099 Abstract: Natural rangelands occupy about 5.5 million hectares of Tunisia’s landmass, and 38% of this area is in Tataouine governorate. Although efforts towards natural restoration are increasing rapidly as a result of restoration projects, the area of degraded rangelands has continued to expand and the severity of desertification has continued to intensify. Any damage caused by disturbances, such as grazing and recurrent drought, may be masked by a return of favorable rainfall conditions. In this work, conducted during March 2018, we surveyed the botanical composition and species diversity of natural rangelands in Tataouine in southern Tunisia. The flora comprised about 279 species belonging to 58 families, with 54% annuals and 46% perennials. The Asteraceae family had the greatest richness of species, followed by Poaceae, Fabaceae, Amaranthaceae, Brassicaceae, Boraginaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Lamiaceae, Apiaceae, and Cistaceae. Therophytes made the highest contribution, followed by chamaephytes and hemicryptophytes. Of all these species, 40% were palatable to highly palatable and more than 13% are used in both traditional and modern medicine. Citation: Gamoun, M.; Louhaichi, M.

Vol. 60, No. 1, pp. 147-168 (2020) Egyptian Journal of Botany http://ejbo.journals.ekb.eg/ Characterization of the Wild Trees and Shrubs in the Egyptian Flora Heba Bedair#, Kamal Shaltout, Dalia Ahmed, Ahmed Sharaf El-Din, Ragab El- Fahhar Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, 31527, Tanta, Egypt. HE present study aims to study the floristic characteristics of the native trees and shrubs T(with height ≥50cm) in the Egyptian flora. The floristic characteristics include taxonomic diversity, life and sex forms, flowering activity, dispersal types,economic potential, threats and national and global floristic distributions. Nine field visits were conducted to many locations all over Egypt for collecting trees and shrubs. From each location, plant and seed specimens were collected from different habitats. In present study 228 taxa belonged to 126 genera and 45 families were recorded, including 2 endemics (Rosa arabica and Origanum syriacum subsp. sinaicum) and 5 near-endemics. They inhabit 14 habitats (8 natural and 6 anthropogenic). Phanerophytes (120 plants) are the most represented life form, followed by chamaephytes (100 plants). Bisexuals are the most represented. Sarcochores (74 taxa) are the most represented dispersal type, followed by ballochores (40 taxa). April (151 taxa) and March (149 taxa) have the maximum flowering plants. Small geographic range - narrow habitat - non abundant plants are the most represented rarity form (180 plants). Deserts are the most rich regions with trees and shrubs (127 taxa), while Sudano-Zambezian (107 taxa) and Saharo-Arabian (98 taxa) was the most. Medicinal plants (154 taxa) are the most represented good, while salinity tolerance (105 taxa) was the most represented service and over-collecting and over-cutting was the most represented threat.

    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 115(2):337-343. 1990. Micropropagation of Members of the Cactaceae Subtribe Cactinae Philip W. Clayton1, John F. Hubstenberger, and Gregory C. Phillips2 Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003- 0003 S. Ann Butler-Nance Department of Experimental Statistics, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003-0003 Additional index words. cactus, in vitro, Escobaria, Mamillaaria, Pediocactus, Sclerocactus, Toumeya Abstract. Micropropagation of 11 rare or endangered cacti species belonging to the subtribe Cactinae was achieved by rooting of proliferated axillary shoots. Shoot tip explants were obtained from seedlings of Escobaria missouriensis D.R. Hunt, E. robbinsorum (Earle) D.R. Hunt, Sclerocactus spinosior (Engelm.) Woodruff & L. Benson, and Toumeya papyracantha (Engelm.) Br. & Rose, and from mature plants of Mammillaria wrightii Engelm., Pediocactus bradyi L. Benson, P. despainii Welsh & Goodrich, P. knowltonii L. Benson, P. paradinei B.W. Benson, P. winkleri Heil, and S. mesae-verdae (Boissevain) L. Benson. Three or four species were used in each of a series of experiments investigating the effects of basal media and auxin and cytokinin types and concentrations on axillary shoot proliferation. Low or no auxin but moderate to high cytokinin concentrations were required for axillary shoot production. All species rooted spontaneously on hormone-free media; however, several species rooted better on media containing auxin. All species were re-established in the greenhouse. The propagation of native cacti is usually done with seed and painii, P. paradinei, P. winklerii, Toumeya papyracantha), rooted offshoots; however, conventional propagation methods threatened (E. robbinsorum, S. mesae-verdae), or endangered are inadequate for those species that exhibit no to few offshoots, (P.
