We propose a method for seed shape quantification based on the comparison of the bi-dimensional images of the seeds with geometric figures. J index is the percent of similarity of a seed image with a figure taken as a model. Models in shape quantification include geometrical figures (circle, ellipse, oval ::: ) and their derivatives, as well as other figures obtained as geometric representations of algebraic equations. The analysis is based on three sources: Published work, images available on the Internet, and seeds collected or stored in our collections. Some of the models here described are applied for the first time in seed morphology, like the superellipses, a group of bidimensional figures that represent well seed shape in species of the Calamoideae and Phoenix canariensis Hort. ex Chabaud. -

Chorological Characterization and Distribution of the Balkan Endemic Vascular Flora in Bosnia and Herzegovina
38 (1): (2014) 167-184 Original Scientific Paper Chorological characterization and distribution of the Balkan endemic vascular flora in Bosnia and Herzegovina Biljana Lubarda1, Vladimir Stupar2, Đorđije Milanović2 and Vladimir Stevanović3✳ 1 Faculty of Science, University of Banja Luka, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina 2 Faculty of Forestry, University of Banja Luka, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina 3 Institute of Botany, Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, Serbia ABSTRacT: 298 endemic taxa at the species and subspecies rank have been found in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Each taxon has been classified into its corresponding chorological group, subgroup and floristic element. The basic chorological structure of endemic Balkan flora in B&H is composed of five main groups: South-European Mountainous (SEM) with 112 taxa, 38% of the total endemic Balkan flora in B&H; Mediterranean - Submediterranean (MED-SUBMED), 77 taxa (26%); Central-European Mountainous (CEM) with 69 taxa (23%); Central-European (CE) with 34 taxa (11%); and Pontic (PONT) with six taxa (2%). Within SEM and CEM groups, the most abundant were Dinaric and Dinaric-Balkan elements, in the MED-SUBMED group it was Adriatic Submediterranean, while in the CE group there were Illyrian and Illyrian-Balkan floristic elements. The distribution of each taxon in B&H was mapped in the network of MGRS squares, with a precision level of 10 km. The richness of Balkan endemic flora in B&H was presented as the number of taxa, at the species and subspecies ranks in each MGRS square 10 x10 km. In the same way, the distribution of endemic taxa of each basic chorological groups was represented. -

1 INTRODUCTION Growth Habit
Tropical Palms 1 1 INTRODUCTION Palms are monocots, included in the section of Angiosperms characterized by bearing a single seed leaf. Scientifically, palms are classified as belonging to the family Palmae (the alternative name is Arecaceae), are perennial and distinguished by having woody stems. According to Dransfield1 et al (2008), the palm family consists of five subfamilies, each representing a major line of evolution. The Calamoideae is the subfamily with the most unspecialized characters. It is followed by the, Nypoideae, Coryphoideae, Ceroxyloideae and Arecoideae; subfamilies; the last exhibiting the greatest number of specialized characters. The foregoing names are based on the genus originally thought to be most characteristic of each subfamily, all of which have species of economic importance. These are: the rattan palm (Calamus), nipa palm (Nypa), talipot palm (Corypha), Andean wax palm (Ceroxylon) and betel nut palm (Areca). About 183 palm genera are currently recognized. The number of palm species is much less precise because of conflicting concepts by palm taxonomists as to what constitutes a distinct species, and the need to revise a number of genera. According to Govaerts and Dransfield (2005), incorporating on-line updates (www.kew.org/monocotchecklist/) there are about 2,450 palm species. Natural history information on the palm family can be found in Corner (1966). Palm anatomy and structural biology have been the subjects of studies by Tomlinson (1961; 1990). Palm horticulture is treated in detail by Broschat and Meerow (2000). Illustrated books which provide general information on the more common palms of the world include McCurrach (1960), Langlois (1976), Blombery and Rodd (1982), Lötschert (1985), Del Cañizo (1991), Stewart (1994), Jones (1995), Riffle and Craft (2003) and Squire (2007). -

In 2004, the mite invaded the New World resulting in high population densities and apparent new host associations- including Musa spp. (bananas and plantains). Subsequently, RPM has become widely established in the tropical Americas.
