    Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands

    SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Contributions from the United States National Herbarium Volume 52: 1-415 Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands Editors Pedro Acevedo-Rodríguez and Mark T. Strong Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History Washington, DC 2005 ABSTRACT Acevedo-Rodríguez, Pedro and Mark T. Strong. Monocots and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Contributions from the United States National Herbarium, volume 52: 415 pages (including 65 figures). The present treatment constitutes an updated revision for the monocotyledon and gymnosperm flora (excluding Orchidaceae and Poaceae) for the biogeographical region of Puerto Rico (including all islets and islands) and the Virgin Islands. With this contribution, we fill the last major gap in the flora of this region, since the dicotyledons have been previously revised. This volume recognizes 33 families, 118 genera, and 349 species of Monocots (excluding the Orchidaceae and Poaceae) and three families, three genera, and six species of gymnosperms. The Poaceae with an estimated 89 genera and 265 species, will be published in a separate volume at a later date. When Ackerman’s (1995) treatment of orchids (65 genera and 145 species) and the Poaceae are added to our account of monocots, the new total rises to 35 families, 272 genera and 759 species. The differences in number from Britton’s and Wilson’s (1926) treatment is attributed to changes in families, generic and species concepts, recent introductions, naturalization of introduced species and cultivars, exclusion of cultivated plants, misdeterminations, and discoveries of new taxa or new distributional records during the last seven decades.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract This article presents a study of the cloud forest dominated by the Prestoea montana (R. Graham) Nichols. This is a hyperhumid forest located in ravines and shaded areas with cloud condensation, and at heights ranging from 350 - 1250 masl. This type of forest is always found in thermal and mesotropical belts, without ever reaching the supratropical belt. This study was based on works published by other authors and on our own field sampling. The article begins by describing the geological, bioclimatic, biogeographic and floristic aspects of the areas in the study, specifically the hyperhumid areas in the central and eastern mountains. Due to the scarcity of phytosociological works on this area, we apply a statistical treatment to compare our communities with other asso- ciations described in Cuba.

    La Primera Contribución Sobre Palmeras Bolivianas Fue Publicada Por Martius En 1847

    Palmeras de Bolivia: Distribución y taxonomía Mónica Moraes R. La primera contribución sobre palmeras bolivianas fue publicada por Martius en 1847. Este trabajo, "Palmetum DOrbignianum" fue basado en las colecciones de Alcides dOrbigny, las cuales fueron realizadas en el Centro y este de Bolivia. Actualmente, la mayor parte de estos especímenes están depositados en el Museo de Historia Natural de Paris. Sin embargo, se trata de colecciones poco representativas e incompletas del material que dOrbigny logró obtener, posiblemente por las dificultades de un viaje de campo y las limitaciones logísticas en esos tiempos. Después de casi un siglo, no más de 100 colecciones fueron obtenidas en Bolivia y la mayor parte de ellas estaban depositadas en herbarios europeos y de Estados Unidos (Balslev y Moraes, 1989). Este material fue obtenido por varios botánicos que mayormente viajaron a los bosques de la vertiente oriental andina hasta las tierras bajas, en los departamentos de La Paz, Cochabamba y Beni (Balslev y Moraes, 1989). Desde 1980 al presente, la colección de palmeras bolivianas en el Herbario Nacional de Bolivia (LPB) en La Paz ha sido incrementada desde 182 hasta 700 especímenes. En 1986 el Herbario Nacional de Bolivia inició actividades para desarrollar la colección de palmas de Bolivia y obtener información original en campo. Más tarde, en 1990 inició el proyecto "Palmeras de Bolivia" con varios subproyectos. El primero de ellos - Diversidad y Usos de Palmeras de Bolivia - realizado en el sur de la Provincia Iturralde del Departamento de La Paz, fue ejecutado entre 1990 a 1993 y financiado por International Foundation for Science.
