    PHYTOGEOGHAPHIC SUHVEY OF CUBA, 11 39 monotonous sandstone ridges. The predominant soils are humic-carbonated soils on limestone, tropical brown soils on sandstone and ferritic soils on serpentine. h. Climate: Seasonal with dry winter of 1-2 or 3-4 months duration. Annual precipitation 1000-1800 mm. c. Flora: Two centres of flora development may be distinguished, both being rich in endemics. The first is the mogotes of Sierra de Nipe with about 15 endemic species, such as Hemithrinax compacta (Fig. '13), Spathelia lobulata (Fig. 6), Plinia ramosissima, Calyptranthes paradoxa, Eugenia bayatensis, E. excisa, Hydrocotyle oligantha, Matelea bayatensis, Tabebuia picotensis, T. mogotensis, Gesneria lopezii, and Jsidorea polyneura. The other centre is the group of Monte Líbano, Monte Verde and Monte Cristo which must have been the principal junction of migratory routes during the development of the Oriente flora. This area is still a rich meeting point of the limestone and serpentine floras, as well as of the semi-desert xerotherm elements. On the soils derived from serpentine the range of many species of Nipe and Cristal overlaps the distribution of Moa elements. Moreover, only at this point reach certain serpentinophilous species (Pinus cubensis, Agave shaferi) the limestone zone. Also, sorne coastal species were able to spread up to 6-700 m on the southern slopes where the xerotherm elements and the montane rainforest species meet. The three mountains possess 40 endemics altogether, sorne of them exhibiting vicariance (e.g., Siphocampylus, Gesneria). Examples of characteristic plant species are Hernandia cubensis, Auerodendron glaucescens, Salacia wrightii, Begonia libanen­ sis, Scolosanthus granulatus, Spermacoce exasperata, Verbesina wrightii, 3 Dorstenia, 6 Pleuro­ thallis, 2 Calyptranthes and 2 Ossaea species.

XX en un área de la Meseta de San Felipe localizada entre las cotas 100 y 150 con vistas a su valoración y posible inclusión en el Sistema Provincial de Áreas Protegidas (SPAP). En 1997 se presentó como propuesta de Reserva Florística Manejada en el II Taller de Áreas Protegidas celebrado en la Ciénaga de Zapata, provincia de Matanzas, en base a sus valores naturales. A inicios del s. XXI se desarrollaron evaluaciones ecológicas rápidas que permitieron obtener una visión actualizada de la situación ambiental de la zona delimitada inicialmente y se constató que, a pesar de las afectaciones sufridas en el entorno, fundamentalmente por los incendios forestales, aún existía una vegetación potencial caracterizada por cinco formaciones vegetales y una riqueza florística de 104 familias, 308 géneros y 464 taxones.

Long ago the maids drew water Ask what you will and it shall be done; In the evening time, they say Trust and obey, believe Him and say: One day Isaac sent his servant I believe, I believe God. To stop Rebekah on her way "My master sent me here to tell thee; And if you want salvation now See these jewels rich and rare; And the Holy Ghost and power, Would'st thou not his lovely bride be Just trust and obey, In that country over there?" Believe Him and say: I believe, I believe God. CHORUS It shall be light in the evening time, 2 The path to glory you will surely find; Reach Out, Touch The Lord Thru the water way, It is the light today, Key of F Buried in the precious Name of Jesus. Young and old, repent of all your sin, Reach out and touch the Lord The Holy Ghost will surely enter in; As He goes by, The evening Light has come, You'll find He's not too busy, It is a fact that God and Christ are one. To hear your heart's cry; He's passing by this moment, So, God's servants come to tell you Your needs to supply, Of a Bridegroom in the sky Reach out and touch the Lord Looking for a holy people As He goes by. To be his bride soon, by and by He sends to us refreshing water 3 In this wondrous latter day Feeling So Much Better They who really will be raptured Key of F Must go thru the water way Feeling so much better Are you on your way to ruin Talking about this good old Way, Cumbered with a load of care Feeling so much better See the quick work God is doing Talking about the Lord; That so his glory you may share Let's go on, let's go on At last the faith he once delivered Talking about this good old Way, To the saints, is ours today Let's go on, let's go on To get in the church triumphant Talking about the Lord.

León (Joseph Silvestre Sauget) and his contribution to Cuban Botany Isidro E. Méndez Santos1 RESUMEN Se analiza la obra científica del Hno. León y se valora su significación en el contexto de la Botánica cubana. Se le reconoce como un continuador de la influencia científica que tuvieron diferentes investigadores europeos sobre el desarrollo de esta ciencia en el país; se exaltan sus cualidades personales; se ponderan sus aportes como florista y sus contribuciones a la Taxonomía Vegetal; se señala la marcada tendencia a ejercer como historiador que acompaña su quehacer en el campo de las Ciencias Naturales; se glosa el merecido reconocimiento que se le tributó en vida y se argumenta porqué se le considera el autor más citado de quienes han estudiado la flora de Cuba. Se agrega un compendio de los nombres científicos de plantas propuestos por él y los que le fueron dedicados. Palabras clave: Hno. León, historia de la Botánica en Cuba, flora de Cuba ABSTRACT The scientific work of the Bro. León is analyzed, and their significance in the context of the Cuban Botany is valued. He is recognized as a continuator of the scientific influence that European investigators exercised on the development of this science in the country; their personal qualities are exalted; their contributions as phytogeography and their contribution to the Plant Taxonomy are pondered; the marked tendency to exercise as historian that accompanies its chore in the field of the Natural Sciences are pointed; the recognitions that in life he received are glossed and the reason for one which he is considered the author more cited of those who have studied the flora of Cuba are argued.
