	Gunnera
		Gunnera is a dramatic plant, and one which amazes visitors with small gardens.
		I found my original gunnera plant at the edge of the water race, dug it out, and transplanted it to the edge of the irrigation pond.
		Interesting that I have several newly arrived Gunneras which have self seeded on the banks of the water race near Middle Bridge.

	Phylogeny and Biogeography of the genus Gunnera
		Gunnera is also interesting on an ecological and physiological basis for its remarkable symbiosis with cyanobacteria of the genus Nostoc.
		According to this study, Gunnera herteri, the single annual species within the genus (shown for the first time in connection with this study), is sister to all other examined taxa.
		Gunnera manicata is one of the South American species most commonly cultivated in botanical and private gardens.

	Gunnera perpensa
		The genus Gunnera has numerous unique characteristics, some of which indicate that these plants have been around for the last 95 million years and belong to one of the oldest angiosperm families as well as being among the largest herbs on earth (Bergman et al.
		One of the other characteristics of Gunnera is the specialized glandular structure that develops at the base of each petiole to assist in the entry of Nostoc punctiforme, which occurs naturally in the wet, marshy soil.
		In South Africa, a decoction of the roots of Gunnera perpensa is used to expel the placenta after birth or to relieve menstrual pains (Ngwenya et al.

		A single leaf can reach 2.5 meter in diameter and are shaped to direct rain water to its roots.
		Though considered hardy in zone 7, Gunneras grown in zones7-8 need special care in order to survive winters by cutting down all greenery in late October to 30 cm of the root ball then placeing a thick layer of dry mulch over the crown for the winter.
		The mulch should be kept dry by a tarp or other rain proofing material.

	Gunnera
		Het is de moeite waard om ‘m te proberen als u veel ruimte hebt, hoewel de Gunnera wat mij betreft best in een wat kleinere tuin aangeplant mag worden, mits er wel vooraf wordt nagedacht over waar deze stevige jongen komt te staan.
		Meestal wordt de Gunnera tinctora (chilensis, scabra) aangeboden, deze is ietwat winterharder dan de Gunnera manicata (uit Brazilië).
		Als u echt geen ruimte hebt kun je de kleine “zus“ uitproberen: De Gunnera magellanica is een bodembedekker die nauwelijks opvalt.
