Summary
| Description |
Afrikaans: Groeivorm van 'n Papierbaskanniedood (C. marlothii) te Skrikfontein, Limpopo. Dit is volkome blaarloos in die vroeë winter, ten spyte van goeie reëns. Hierdie boom naby die bopunt van 'n bebosde kloof, was die tweede eksemplaar wat teëgekom is namate die heuwel bestyg is. Oor die algemeen lyk dit of die spesie die mees onherbergsame, rotsagtige habitatte verkies. Hulle groei oorwegend kremnofilies of op kranslyste waar die uitgeloogde grond baie skraps en nutriënt-arm moet wees. Die papieragtige bas wat oordadig van die takke afskilfer was interessant om waar te neem, meer so as by die soortgelyke Papierbasvalsdoring (Albizia tanganyicensis) wat ook hier voorkom. Die twee spesies spesialiseer blykbaar op aparte, onderskeibare substrate, laasgenoemde op relatief onstabiele puinhellings.
English: Habit of a Paperbark corkwood (C. marlothii) at Skrikfontein, Limpopo. It is completely leafless during early winter, despite good rains. This tree was found near the top of a wooded gully, where the second of these were encountered while ascending the hill. Generally the species appears to prefer the most inhospitable rocky habitats, and most were indeed in rock cracks or on cliff ledges where the amount of soil must be very little, and very leached of nutrients. The copious amount of papery bark that peels off from the branches everywhere was interesting to note, more so than with the superficially similar Paperbark false-thorn (Albizia tanganyicensis), which also occurs here. The two species appear to specialize on separate, distinct substrates, the latter on relatively unstable scree slopes. |
