Alternating temperature requirements in Leucospermum R.Br. seed germination and ecological correlates in fynbos

2014-05-01

Abstract excerpt

The effect of germination incubation regimes, which were chosen on the basis of temperature patterns found within the fynbos (Mediterranean fire-prone shrubland-type) habitat in the Cape Floristic Region during the autumn germinative period, was tested on seeds of 6 Leucospermum species over 5 taxonomic sections (L. cordifolium, L. cuneiforme, L. erubescens, L. glabrum, L. reflexum, L. vestitum). Seeds of each spe...
