It is allopatric with + +P. usitata + +, + +P. rigidula + +, and + +P. fleta + +which all occur higher up in the mountains. It is sympatric with the pinnately-leaved + +P. suaveolens +C. H. Stirt., A. Bello & Muasya + +and occurs mostly along streams, gulleys, and seepages in mid montane valleys and in lowland fynbos between 250 and +550 m +a. s. l. in the following vegetation types: Breede Alluvium fynbos (FFA 2), Breede Shale Fynbos (FFh 4), North Hex Sandstone Fynbos (FFs 7), South Hex Sandstone Fynbos (FFs 8), and Hawequas Sandstone Fynbos (FFs 10) ( +Rebelo et al. 2006 +). + + + + +Phenology and ecology. + + +Flowering occurs mainly in September and October but also sporadically through to March. + +Psoralea fulva + +was incorporated previously as part of + +Psoralea usitata + +as Form 4 ( + +Psoralea +sp. 5 + +; +Stirton and Schutte 2012 +). The young plants look superficially like + +P. aphylla + +, + +P. fleta + +, + +P. gigantea + +, and + +P. usitata + +( + +Psoralea +sp. 5 + +; +Stirton and Schutte 2012 +; +Dludlu et al. 2015 +) during the first few years of growth but as they mature, they develop quite different habits. According to +Bello et al. (2017) +, + +Psoralea fulva + +produces occasional spontaneous hybrids with + +P. suaveolens +C. H. Stirt., A. Bello & Muasya + +( +Muasya & Stirton 5931 +; + +BOL + +) where they co-occur in disturbed sandy places alongside streams as they enter the Kanetvlei lowlands. There is also a mixed population of hybrids between + +P. fleta + +and + +P. fulva + +on the left-hand lower slope on the road from Worcester as it enters the DuToitskloof. This population comprises a great array of flower colours and habits. + + + + +Etymology. + + +The specific epithet +fulva +(Latin ‘ fulvus’ (- a, - um) = tawny or yellowish brown) alludes to the distinct colour of the stems. + + + + +Preliminary IUCN conservation assessment. + + +This species is locally abundant where it occurs but falls largely out of conservation areas and is mostly on private lands. However, it is now quite scarce along the valley bottoms and persists only around some farm dams and in remaining seepages and drainage ditches in its former lowland habitat which has been transformed into vineyards. It is unlikely to survive on the valley bottoms due to agricultural and urban expansion and so may become restricted in future to the lowest slopes of the surrounding mountains. It is currently assessed as Near Threatened: NT ( +IUCN 2012 +). + + + + +Additional material examined. + + + +SOUTH AFRICA +– + +Western Cape Province +: 3319 ( +Worcester +) + +• +Kanetvlei valley +, +Zandrifskloof +, +Farm Dome Citrus +(– +AD +); + +11 Oct. 2009 + +; + +Muasya +& +Stirton +4075 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Near De Doorns +, +Citrus Farm +(– +AD +); + +26 Dec. 2007 + +; + +Muasya +& +Stirton +3528 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Hex River mountains +, +Kanetvlei +, near +Reservoir +(– AD); + +22 Sep. 2010 + +; + +Muasya +& +Stirton +5512 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Hex River Valley +(– CB); + +21 Feb. 2011 + +; + +Muasya +, +Chimphango +& +Stirton +5930 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Hex River Mountains +, +Zandrift +dam, +River bed below +(– BC); + +11 Oct. 2009 + +; + +Muasya +& +Stirton +4079 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Waaihoek turnoff on Worcester +- +Ceres Road +(– CA); + +3 Feb. 1981 + +; + +Walters +2426 + +; +NBG + +• + +Du Toitskloof Mountains +, +Delabat Ravine +(– CA); + +28 Mar. 2009 + +; + +Muasya +, +Chimphango +& +Stirton +4480, 4490 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Du Toitskloof Pass +(– BA); + +27 Dec. 2007 + +; + +Muasya +& +Stirton +3541 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Near bottom of Du Toitskloof Pass +(– BA); + +10 Oct. 2008 + +; + +Muasya +& +Stirton +4071, 4071, 4072, 4073 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +bottom of Du Toitskloof Pass on Worcester side +(– CA); + +Esterhuysen +28238 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +ibid.; + +24 Sep. 2014 + +; + +Stirton +13995 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Fairy Glen +, +lower slopes of Brandwagberge +(– CB); + +19 Sep. 1981 + +; + +Stirton +9142 + +; +PRE + +• + +Die Eike Farm +, +Goudini +, + +17 Nov. 2011 + +; + +Stirton +13504 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Rawsonville +(– CB); + +14 Dec. 1938 + +; + +Louw +105 + +; +NBG + +• + +Pokkraal +dam (– CB); + +21 Feb. 2011 + +; + +Muasya +& +Stirton +5939, 5940 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Worcester +(– CB); + +Fine +30 + +; +PRE + +• + +ibid.; + +Rehmann +2429 + +; +NBG + +• + +Farm Eensgevonden +, +Rawsonville +(– CB); + +18 Nov. 2011 + +; + +Stirton +13508 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +ibid.; + +24 Jul. 2010 + +; + +Muasya +& +Stirton +5391 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Watervalkloof in Siduberg +, +Horlosieberg +, +Farm Eensgevonden +(– CB); + +28 Mar. 2009 + +; + +Muasya +& +Stirton +4491 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Hex River Mountains near De Doorns +, +Keurhoek Valley +(– CB); + +25 Dec. 2007 + +; + +Muasya +& +Stirton +3504 + +; + +BOL + + +• + +Brandvlei +(– CD); + +12 Mar. 1985 + +; + +Van der Kooy +1104 + +; +NBG + +. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/2D/AD/04/2DAD04B281295152B2A4ECEA805B5865.xml b/data/2D/AD/04/2DAD04B281295152B2A4ECEA805B5865.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..84d033f3261 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/2D/AD/04/2DAD04B281295152B2A4ECEA805B5865.xml @@ -0,0 +1,384 @@ + + + +Ten new species and notes on the genus Psoralea L.

Artist: Angela Beaumont. + + + + + +Distribution and habitat. + + + +Psoralea crista + +is a rare mountain endemic known from only two collections from Cockscomb Peak in the Great Wintershoek Mountains (Fig. +2 +) in Kouga Sandstone Fynbos (FFs 28) and Kouga Grassy Sandstone Fynbos (FFs 29) ( +Mucina and Rutherford 2006 +). It was first collected 35 years ago by Miss Elsie Esterhuysen. A second collection was made in the same general locality in 2008 by Nick Helme. The species prefers slightly damp areas or seasonal seepages on NE and E slopes below cliffs at ca +1400–1600 m +a. s. l. + + + + +Phenology and ecology. + +Flowering occurs in January and February, fruiting up to May. No recent collections have been made of this species and no photographs are available. + + + +Etymology. + + +The specific epithet +crista +(Latin word ‘ crista’ = crest or terminal tuft) alludes to the fleshy stipules reminiscent of a rooster’s fleshy cockscomb and the name of the Cockscomb Mountain where it occurs. + + + + +Preliminary IUCN conservation assessment. + +This species is probably highly localised on a single mountain. Recent attempts by the High-Altitude Group of CREW (Custodians of Rare and Endangered Wild Flowers) have so far been unable to find it. It may be a resprouter and fire-dependent, likely to be prevalent after episodic fire, and preliminary assessed as Data Deficient (DD). + + + +Additional material examined. + + + +SOUTH AFRICA +– + +Eastern Cape Province +: 3324 ( +Steytlerville +) + +• +Cockscomb Peak East +, +farm Afgunst 255 +, +peak near cave +(– DB); + +31 May 2008 + +; + +Helme +5478 + +; +NBG + +. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/3A/B1/43/3AB1432C76B759CB9AC99F7484745940.xml b/data/3A/B1/43/3AB1432C76B759CB9AC99F7484745940.xml index 083cad2c2b6..c8142982de3 100644 --- a/data/3A/B1/43/3AB1432C76B759CB9AC99F7484745940.xml +++ b/data/3A/B1/43/3AB1432C76B759CB9AC99F7484745940.xml @@ -1,62 +1,62 @@ - - - -Ten new species and notes on the genus Psoralea L.

It can form large colonies and favours permanent swampy seepage with + +Cliffortia graminea + +L. f. and + +Platycaulos compressus +(Rottb.) H. P. Linder + +on wet sandy soils but also occurs on drier slopes in mountain fynbos occurring between 530 and +590 m +a. s. l. It has been recorded from Tschando shales and Hutton Series soils. + + + + +Phenology and ecology. + + +Flowering occurs commonly after fires from December to January and thereafter only sporadically. The multi-stemmed appearance also gives the impression that plants emanate from a rootstock, but they clearly germinate after fire (fide Jan Vlok and personal observation). + +Psoralea trullata + +, by contrast, occurs at higher altitudes between 1100 and +1600 m +a. s. l. and favours steep rocky slopes and ledges with peaty soils overlying Table Mountain Sandstone and has a broader distribution stretching from the Outeniqua Pass to the Great Wintershoek mountains. + + + + + + + +Psoralea vlokii + +. +A +.

However, like + +P. trullata + +, the unique rare, red-flowered + +P. implexa +C. H. Stirt. + +(DuToitskloof), and + +P. cataracta +C. H. Stirt. + +(Northern Tulbagh valley) it is difficult to find in the veld or identify in its restioid-like vegetative state, which probably accounts for their supposed rarity. The known observations and collections of + +P. vlokii + +cluster across +320 km +of mountain ranges and have been found mostly on either side of the Tradouw, Garcia, and Outeniqua passes with little known of the largely intervening areas so it can be expected to be more common than encountered so far. +Vlok and Raimondo (2007) +assessed it as Endangered: EN B 1 ab (iii, v). However, since then it has been found in more locations so it needs to be reassessed. They noted that in 2007 it occurred in an EOO of < +250 km +2 +, from five locations which were declining due to dense alien pine and + +Hakea +Schrad. + +invasion of the habitat, and that it was also likely to be overly sensitive to water extraction. Although these threats are still present, the broadening of its distribution range suggests lowering its conservation status (Jan Vlok pers. comm.). + + + + +Additional material examined. + + + +SOUTH AFRICA +– + +Western Cape Province +: 3322 ( +Oudtshoorn +) + +• +Next to forestry track along Grootdoringsrivier +, +Northern slopes of the Outeniqua mountains +; + +8 Oct. 1985 + +; + +Vlok +1271 + +; +K +, +NU +, +PRE + +• + +Upper tributary of the Moordkuils +, +southern foothills of the Outeniqua mountains +(– CC); 1985, + +Vlok +1354 + +; +K +, +PRE + +• + +Near Kleindoringsrivier +, +lower northern slopes of the Outeniqua Mountains +(– CD); + +14 Nov. 1984 + +, + +Stirton +8650 + +; +K +, +NU + +. + + + + +Observations. + + +South Africa +, +Western Cape Province +: Huisrivier tributary, east of Barrydale, Langeberg, +3 Mar. 2019 +, obs. by Lennartn, +https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/21105626 +; Eden, Camferskloof, +21 Oct. 2019 +, obs. by Nicky van Berkel, +https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/34962095 +; ibid., +25 Oct. 2019 +, obs. by Nicky van Berkel, +https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/34962095 +; ibid., +25 Oct. 2019 +, obs. by Nicky van Berkel, +https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/34962102 +; ibid., +26 Feb. 2019 +, obs. by Nicky van Berkel, +https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/70278510 +; ibid., +14 Nov. 2021 +, Nicky van Berkel, +https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/101187196 +. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/B2/8C/F0/B28CF062511B5ACD8B08156821E8B53A.xml b/data/B2/8C/F0/B28CF062511B5ACD8B08156821E8B53A.xml index e326bd133f2..1f15f74443a 100644 --- a/data/B2/8C/F0/B28CF062511B5ACD8B08156821E8B53A.xml +++ b/data/B2/8C/F0/B28CF062511B5ACD8B08156821E8B53A.xml @@ -1,62 +1,62 @@ - - - -Ten new species and notes on the genus Psoralea L.

The main soil type is acidic lithosol soil derived from Ordovician sandstones of the Table Mountain Sandstone Group on the Olifants Sandstone Fynbos and Cederberg Fynbos Sandstone vegetation types (FFS 3, FFS 4; +Mucina and Rutherford 2006 +). The distribution is patchy; most of the records are from roadside collections, so it may be more common than its current distribution. + + + + +Phenology and ecology. + + +Flowering occurs from September to January but mainly in December and rarely up to April. Incidences of hybridization involving + +P. oreopola + +have been documented at two disjunct localities in the Cederberg mountains. On the Pienaarsvlakte, above +Algeria +in the Cedarberg, there is a hybrid swarm between + +P. oreopola + +and + +P. intonsa +C. H. Stirt., Muasya & A. Bello. + +The hybrid swarm encompasses a range of intermediate leaf foliolation ranging from 3 - to 7 - pinnate leaflets ( +Stirton, Muasya & Bello 11489 +with 5–7 leaflets; +Stirton, Muasya & Bello 11492 +with 3 -, 5 -, and 7 - pinnate leaflets). The variation in this population is considerable and shows a range of flower colour intermediates. See Table +1 +.
