“…In a concentration comparison, GA at 750 mg/L applied five times at three-week intervals provided optimal shoot elongation, while higher concentrations caused damage to the leaves and shoot tip, and shoot diameter was thinner. In a similar field study on a L. conocarpodendron × L. cordifolium hybrid, Malan and Jacobs (1992) reported that a single GA 3 spray at 500 mg/L, when shoots resulting from pruning were 10 to 17 cm long, markedly increased the number of shoots longer than 30 cm when compared to control plants. Pruning was done in late winter to leave a stub about 20 cm in length, and the GA application was made 10 to 12 weeks later.…”

More than 1400 species have been recognized in the ancient Proteaceae family (Rebelo 1995). Their occurrence is mostly distributed between Australia with about 800 species and Africa with about 400 species with the remainder found in South America, the islands east of New Guinea, and a few species in southeast Asia, New Zealand, and Madagascar. They are broadly referred to as proteas, although we identify specific genera by their Latin names. The subfamily Proteoideae, largely found in Africa, has contributed the genera Protea, Leucadendron, and Leucospermum to floricultural trade, while the Australian Grevilleoideae has contributed Banksia and Grevillea that have found similar use in floriculture and landscaping. Other genera are still emerging in importance (Criley, 2001
