Appendix A. Photographs of Lavandula latifolia plants and the study plot.

FIG. A1. Adult Lavandula latifolia plant photographed during the summer flowering period, showing the many long-stalked inflorescences. The plant is about 40 cm across its base.

 

FIG. A2. Newly-established, 3-yr old juvenile Lavandula latifolia plant, photographed on October 1990. This individual was still alive – although already showing signs of senescence – on 2008. Flagging tape is 10 mm wide.

FIG. A3. Two views of the study plot. All Lavandula latifolia plants visible on the pictures formed part of this study. Photographs taken in 2003.

FIG. Crowns of representative Lavandula latifolia shrubs exhibiting senescence symptoms. The examples chosen encompass the whole range of percent reduction in crown biomass, running from plants just starting senescence (top left) to those on the verge of death (bottom right). The green, actively growing, inflorescence-producing sectors of plants contrast with brown or gray patches made up of dead, non-growing branches that do not longer produce inflorescences.
