Hesperantha secunda Goldblatt & J. C. Manning
No full text<i> 4.1. <i>H. secunda</i> Goldblatt & J.C. Manning in Bothalia 43: 150 (2013)</i> <p> Described in 2013 from a single collection made in 1980 on the northern Roggeveld Escarpment west of Middelpos, <i>H. secunda</i> is recognized by the secund spike of relatively small, nodding flowers with unusually short style branches, ± 4 mm long reaching to the base or lower fourth of the anthers in the closed flower (Goldblatt and Manning, 2013). The slightly succulent foliage leaves are sparsely hairy and have thickened margins and main veins. We discovered a second population of the species in September 2013 on southern slopes of the Keiskie Mtns SE of Calvinia (Fig. 2). Flowers in plants maintained in water opened ±19:00 and produced a strong, somewhat acrid scent. We confirmed this phenology in a second population close to the type locality, Farm Knechtsbank, in a wet meadow at the top of Perdekloof. <i>H. secunda</i> was common at the site and grew together with <i>H. pseudopilosa</i> Goldblatt, then in fruit. The population included at least 150 mature plants in flower or early fruit. A short distance away but in drier, well drained places the closely related, pink-flowered <i>H. pilosa</i> subsp. <i>bracteata</i> (R.C. Foster) Goldblatt & J.C.

Joseph C. Manning letters, MSS.3818
No full textAbstract: Letters showing Manning's efforts to stop the disenfranchisement of African American voters in Alabama in early twentieth century.Scope and Content Note: The collection is made up of fifty-seven letters written by Manning that show his efforts to stop the disenfranchisement of the African American voter in the Republican Party of Alabama in the early twentieth century. Most of the letters are written to Captain Charles H. Scott of Montgomery. While some are written on Southern American letterhead (the newspaper Manning helped begin), many of the letters are written on the versos of copies of broadsides published at the time.Biographical/Historical Note: Joseph Columbus Manning, son of Henry Allen and Martha B. Manning, was born on May 21, 1870, in Lineville, Alabama. Growing up in rural Alabama, he witnessed how continually declining cotton prices forced many of his father's (a general supply merchant) customers to lose their lands and become tenant farmers or sharecroppers. This influenced Manning's early support of populist agrarian movements. After graduating from the Florence Normal School (now the University of North Alabama) in 1888, he moved to Texas where he worked as a book salesman.
In 1891, he returned to the Deep South, moving to Atlanta, where he was a supporter of the radical agricultural and political reformer Thomas E. Watson and the People's Party (or Populists). In 1892, he was sent by the party leaders back to Alabama as an "evangel," or political organizer. His job was to create enthusiasm for the movement and to recruit new members. He was an effective organizer, but many of his efforts were undermined by extensive voter fraud in Alabama's Black Belt counties.
He married Zoe Duncan in 1894; the couple had three sons and two daughters. Also in 1894, Manning was elected to the state House of Representatives from Clay County. He was able to engineer a 1894 convention that merged the Jeffersonian Democrats and the People's Party. Speaking in northern cities, he managed to embarrass the Bourbon Democrats by exposing their fraudulent election practices, but no good came of it. Rather than a U.S. Senate investigation, the hope of any reformist party in Alabama was completely shattered when thousands of farmers voted for Williams Jennings Bryan, a candidate of the Free Silver wing of the Democratic Party. When he faced the fact that the Populist movement was - to all intents and purposes - over in Alabama, Manning became a Republican.
Manning secured an appointment as postmaster of Alexander City, Alabama, from President William McKinley's administration. He supported Booker T. Washington's successful effort to undercut the power of Alabama's overtly racist Republican faction. Manning left the postal service when William Howard Taft was elected president in 1908.
Manning spent his remaining years as a lobbyist for civil rights, a journalist for African American newspapers, a correspondent with early leaders of the NAACP, and a commentator on the racial politics of the south in general and of Alabama specifically. Very late in his life, he moved to New York where he died of cancer on May 19, 1930.

Sindheres KAZMI & MANNING 2003, gen. nov.
No full text<i>Sindheres</i> gen. nov. <p> <i>Diagnosis.</i> Size small, carapace 3.25 mm long, 5.0 mm wide in a unique holotype. Carapace sub-hexagonal, narrowing anteriorly, width greater than length, width greatest posterior to mid-length; regions poorly defined. Front very slightly projecting. MXP3 exopod with flagellum; ischium and merus indistinguishably fused, elongate; inner margin convex; palp three-segmented; propodus spatulate, longer than carpus, dactylus styliform, inserted below mid-length of ventral margin of propodus. Walking legs equal right and left; WL2 longest of walking legs, WL1–3 dactyli similar, subequal, falcate, strongly curved to sharp apex; WL4 dactylus slightly shorter than dactyli of WL1–3.

In this feature <i>Sindheres</i> resembles the eastern Atlantic <i>Nepinnotheres</i> Manning, 1993, but in members of <i>Nepinnotheres</i> the carapace is sub-circular, with the length and width subequal, rather than subhexagonal, with the length much shorter than the width. In <i>Sindheres</i>, the mesial margin of the MXP3 ischium-merus is convex, whereas in <i>N. pinnotheres</i> the mesial margin of MXP3 is slightly concave proximally with an obtuse projection subdistally.</p>Published as part of <i>KAZMI, Q.

Figs. 1, 2.</p> <p> <i>Distribution and ecology:</i> a highly local endemic from the western foot of the Elandskloof Mtns of Western Cape, known from a single population on the Elandsberg Nature Reserve (Fig. 3); on seasonally moist, stony, loamy alluvium in Swartland Alluvial Fynbos (Mucina and Rutherford, 2006). The population occupies a very restricted habitat in relatively open shrubland dominated by <i>Eriocephalus africanus</i> L. (Asteraceae), occurring at the interface between two thicker fynbos communities dominated respectively by <i>Leucospermum calligerum</i> (Salib. ex Knight) Rourke (Proteaceae) on drier sandy soils and <i>Leucadendron corymbosum</i> P.J.Bergius (Proteaceae) on seasonal wetland, and a third renosterveld shrubland community dominated by <i>Elytropappus rhinocerotis</i> (L.f.) Less. (Asteraceae) on heavier clay soils. The population comprises an estimated 30 to 40 plants, of which ± 10 were in flower in each of the two seasons that they were studied in the field. Extensive searches over the adjacent veld did not reveal further sub-populations and it seems that the species is restricted to this single locality, a situation that is mirrored in <i>Brunsvigia elandsmontana</i> and <i>Pelargonium elandsmontanum</i>, both of which occupy the same vegetation type.</p> <p>Seed set seems to be relatively low, with most capsules developing only 1 or 2 seeds in one or two locules but the seeds that are developed are evidently well-formed and plump. This suggests some form of pollinator limitation.</p> <p> <i>Diagnosis:</i> the species is distinctive in the genus in its pubescent foliage, the otherwise smooth adaxial surface covered with short, erect hairs 0.5 <i>—</i> 1.0 mm long and the margins densely ciliolate with shorter bristles, with a few-flowered inflorescence of small, white, hypocrateriform flowers with slender perianth tube 7 <i>—</i> 8 mm long. The narrow, spreading tepals without sigmoid coiling, unequal filaments with blackish anthers and blue pollen, and the style weakly differentiated from the ovary place <i>M. elandsmontana</i> in a small alliance of species from the West Coast and near-interior of western Cape that includes the two coastal species <i>M. inaequalis</i> W.F.Barker ex Martt. -Azorín et al. and <i>M. dregei</i> Baker and the inland-montane <i>M. pygmaea</i> Schlecht. ex Kunth. The very small capsules, up to 10 mm long, are also consistent with this alliance. <i>Massonia elandsmontana</i> is readily distinguished from these species by the distinctive vestiture of the leaves, viz. the combination of longer, softer hairs on the otherwise smooth (not pustulate) adaxial surface with short marginal bristles. It is most likely to be confused with <i>M. pygmaea</i>, which is florally very similar, but that species has characteristic foliage with a pustulate or muricato-pustulate adaxial surface and minutely setulose margins.</p> <p> <i>Conservation notes: Massonia elandsmontana</i> is known from a single small population on the Elandsberg Nature Reserve, comprising less than 50 individuals. Although the species has a minimal area of occupancy, its only known population lies within a formal conservation area, without evident threats. A conservation status of Critically Rare (known from a restricted area but without any known threat) is proposed.</p> <p> <i>Additional specimen seen</i></p> <p> South Africa.
