The beauty? The vistas? The palms? Probably all of these. But you’re most likely to remember enjoying a tram tour of Fairchild insightfully narrated by one of our dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers. Don Blechman, one such Fairchild volunteer, could be found narrating tours of the garden every Friday morning with his wife, Terry. Don recently passed away, and the Blechmans’ dear friends and Fairchild Trustees, Allan and Patti Herbert, created a lasting tribute to Don, who always hoped that Fairchild could purchase new trams. The Donald and Terry Blechman Tribute Fund is a grant established to help Fairchild raise critically- needed funds to purchase new trams for visitor tours by matching each dollar raised. The Herberts will match every dollar raised through December 31, 2010, so guests can enjoy tours of the garden in new trams. That means that every dollar Fairchild raises, the Herberts will match in tribute to Don and Terry. But, we need your help! The more we raise, the more the Herberts match and the closer we get to purchasing new trams. If you would like to make a pledge, please call 305.663.8051. You can also donate online at www.fairchildgarden.org/Match. Hurry! This offer ends on December 31, 2010. So please make your pledge soon. fairchild tropical botanic garden from the director here is something uniquely magical about tropical islands. Since the earliest days of exploration, we have been captivated by their romance, mystery and unusually rich biodiversity. Isolated in warm and stormy seas for millions of years, tropical islands Thave developed some of the world’s most extraordinary plants and animals. In this issue of The Tropical Garden, we visit two spectacular groups of islands on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean, both situated directly on the equator. Separated by nearly 10,000 miles of open ocean, Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands and Indonesia’s Spice Islands both share an unusual significance in the history of biology. In 1835, Charles Darwin spent a month in the Galapagos Islands while conducting surveys with the crew of the HMS Beagle. He collected dozens of plant and animal specimens, including representatives of the remarkable bird life. The bird specimens, especially the finches, provided the inspiration for Darwin’s discovery of how living things adapt to subtle environmental differences. Earlier this year our own Georgia Tasker followed in Darwin’s footsteps, traveling the Galapagos to observe the diversity that inspired his greatest discoveries. Alfred Russel Wallace, a young colleague of Charles Darwin, collected bird and insect specimens in the Spice Islands of Indonesia. In 1858, immersed in the extraordinary biodiversity of the region, he was the first to articulate the groundbreaking theory of evolution by natural selection. Inspired by Wallace’s discovery, David Fairchild spent his life traveling and exploring the world. Finally, in his 70s, he had a chance to visit the Spice Islands, but that expedition was cut short by the onset of World War II. To finish what Fairchild started, we have begun collaborating with organizations in Indonesia to document and conserve the unique flora that still exists in the Spice Islands. Exactly 70 years after Dr. Fairchild’s quick trip through the region, I was fortunate enough to be able to explore some of the places he missed. After my trip, conservation biologist Melissa Abdo trekked even further into the heart of the islands and saw an incredible diversity of palms and other tropical plants. As we continue exploring the region we follow in the footsteps of some of history’s greatest scientists. Closer to home, our researchers have been exploring equally spectacular island habitats in the Caribbean, working to save plants on the brink of extinction. In this issue, Melissa Abdo and her colleagues describe a project to document and conserve the flora of the rugged Cockpit Country of Jamaica. The region is a matrix of different habitats, each supporting unique plant species, all influenced by subtle differences in geology. We are learning important lessons about the vulnerability of rare plant populations in that complex environment. Our work to conserve the fragile habitats of tropical islands is increasingly important. Dr. Javier Francisco-Ortega, one of our senior scientists and Fairchild Challenge program manager, is a leading expert on island biodiversity and conservation. He is recruiting and training a new generation of students to join in our work. As we study island habitats, we are incorporating their best elements into our plantings at Fairchild. Since our garden was founded, we have worked to build a landscape that is just as awe-inspiring and conducive to scientific discovery as faraway island archipelagos. Soon, our ability to inspire and educate students will increase as our collections expand and as we build new laboratory and teaching spaces. On your next visit to Fairchild, I hope you will take a close look at our plants and think about the island habitats that inspired some of the greatest scientific discoveries in history. Just imagine the discoveries we can make in the years ahead. Carl Lewis, P.h.D. www.fairchildgarden.org 5 contributors DR. CARL LEWIS came to Fairchild from upstate New York in January 2001. As a scientist focused on palms, his work combines tropical field exploration with cutting-edge techniques in molecular biology. Inspired by Dr. David Fairchild’s legacy, he is incorporating historical information from our archives into new research projects. As Fairchild’s director, he is expanding our education programs to train a new generation of students for careers in the environment.

  • When Dr. Fairchild Visited Miss Sessions: San Diego 19191
    Front side of Meyer Medal. Courtesy of the San Diego Historical Society. 74 WHEN DR. FAIRCHILD VISITED MISS SESSIONS: SAN DIEGO 19191 ■ By Nancy Carol Carter n 1939, Kate Sessions received the prestigious Frank N. Meyer Medal for distinguished services in plant introduction by the American Genetics Association. IShe joined the ranks of previously recognized male botanists, including Louis Charles Trabut, a French doctor teaching at the University of Algiers; Henry Nicholas Ridley, an Englishman who learned to tap the rubber tree for latex; Palemon Howard Dorsett, who spent the 1920s identifying plants in China and Japan; and wealthy amateur plant explorers Barbour Lathrop and Allison V. Armour. It was thirty years before another woman received the same honor.2 Sessions was nominated for the award by David Fairchild, plant explorer, botanist and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) official. A newly-explored archive of letters, photographs and manuscripts at the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden expands our knowledge of their relationship. Their seventeen-year-long correspon- dence suggests that he was the most enduring and influential of her professional contacts.3 This article reveals both the professional and the personal nature of their relationship, giving us a more nuanced understanding of Kate Sessions herself. By the end of the nineteenth century, botany had moved almost entirely from its Enlightenment origins as a proper and recommended activity for women and children to a professionalized and almost exclusively male pursuit within the science culture. Some exceptional women made a place for themselves in the field at this early date, but had to overcome barriers.

    International Journal of ChemTech Research CODEN (USA): IJCRGG, ISSN: 0974-4290, ISSN(Online):2455-9555 Vol.9, No.12 pp 454-464, 2016 Population Structure of Wanga(Pigafetta elata) and the Community of the Higher Plants in the District South Sangalla', Tana Toraja Regency Syamsiah*, Mulyadi, YusminahHala Postraduate Program, Universitas Negeri Makassar, Indonesia Abstract : The aim of this study was to determine the structure, regeneration and population distribution patterns of Wanga (Pigafetta elata) and the community of the higher plants in the District South Sangalla', TanaToraja regency, Indonesia located in three villages namely RaruSibunuan, Tokesan, and Kaero. Importance Value Index (IVI) was obtained based on the density, frequency and dominance taken based on transects method. On each transect made 10 plots with a size of 10m x 10m. In each village created 3 transect each with a size of 100m x 10m. The data of vegetation were collected on plots by counting the number of individuals (density) of each species of trees, determine the presence of species (frequency) in the plot, and determine basal area by measuring the diameter of the trunk (dominance). P. elatahas the highest IVI in Kaero village, followed by Tokesan and the lowest INP in Raru Sibunuan village. Regeneration of P. elata in three villages in South Sangalla' were in danger of extinction where only one seedling found at the location of study, and the density percentage of P. elata was very low at less than 10%. Population distribution patterns of P. elata and community of a high level of plants in the District South Sangalla' tend to clumped, where many species were found in the lowest interval class (1-5).

  • Systematics and Evolution of the Rattan Genus Korthalsia Bl
    SYSTEMATICS AND EVOLUTION OF THE RATTAN GENUS KORTHALSIA BL. (ARECACEAE) WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO DOMATIA A thesis submitted by Salwa Shahimi For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological Sciences University of Reading February 2018 i Declaration I can confirm that is my own work and the use of all material from other sources have been properly and fully acknowledged. Salwa Shahimi Reading, February 2018 ii ABSTRACT Korthalsia is a genus of palms endemic to Malesian region and known for the several species that have close associations with ants. In this study, 101 new sequences were generated to add 18 Korthalsia species from Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar and Vietnam to an existing but unpublished data set for calamoid palms. Three nuclear (prk, rpb2, and ITS) and three chloroplast (rps16, trnD-trnT and ndhF) markers were sampled and Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood methods of tree reconstruction used. The new phylogeny of the calamoids was largely congruent with the published studies, though the taxon sampling was more thorough. Each of the three tribes of the Calamoideae appeared to be monophyletic. The Eugeissoneae was consistently resolved as sister to Calameae and Lepidocaryeae, and better resolved, better supported topologies below the tribal level were identified. Korthalsia is monophyletic, and novel hypotheses of species level relationships in Korthalsia were put forward. These hypotheses of species level relationships in Korthalsia served as a framework for the better understanding of the evolution of ocrea. The morphological and developmental study of ocrea in genus Korthalsia included detailed study using Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy for seven samples of 28 species of Korthalsia, in order to provide understanding of ocrea morphological traits.
