Phytotaxa, Zamia Incognita (Zamiaceae): the Exciting Discovery of a New Gymnosperm
Phytotaxa 2: 29–34 (2009) ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2009 • Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) Zamia incognita (Zamiaceae): the exciting discovery of a new gymnosperm from Colombia ANDERS J. LINDSTRÖM1 & ÁLVARO IDÁRRAGA2 1Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden, 34/1 Sukhumvit Highway, Najomtien, Sattahip, Chonburi 20250 Thailand 2Universidad de Antioquia, Herbario Universidad de Antioquia (HUA), Medellín, Colombia Abstract Colombia is home to the majority of known South American species of Zamia (Zamiaceae). Although Zamia is now the only recognised genus of extant Cycadales in South America, it shows some complex ecological adaptations that have resulted in several evolutionarily divergent sections within the genus. The recent publication of Flora de Colombia listed 16 species, of which seven are endemic and five were newly described in the very same treatment. Although this treatment was current at the time of publication, recent collections and additional material of little-known species have made an update and further clarification necessary. A new species, Zamia incognita is described here and its relationships are discussed. Key words: Colombia, cycads, gymnosperms, Zamia Introduction The classification of Zamia Linnaeus (1763: 1659), a genus of about 57 species of mainly South and Central American cycads, is still incomplete with new species still to be discovered and described. The relationships are not very well-studied and there are few classifications at the subgeneric level (Schuster, 1932). Most species have been described individually by various authors and not as part of a larger taxonomic treatment or revision. Because of the inaccessibility of many habitats, there are very few specimens of South American species. -
The Potential for Harvesting Fruits in Tropical Rainforests: New Data from Amazonian Peru
Biodiversity and Conversation 2, 18-38 The potential for harvesting fruits in tropical rainforests: new data from Amazonian Peru OLIVER PHILLIPS* Department Of' Biology, Washington University, Campus Box 1137, 1 Brookings Drive, St Louis, MO 63130- 4899, USA Received 28 January 1992; accepted 18 February 1992 New data shows that edible fruit and nut production in Amazonian forests is substantially lower than most conservationists assume. Direct measures of production in Amazonian Peru show that two terra firrna forest types produced significantly less edible fruit than an alluvial soil forest. Swamp forest produced more edible fruit than any other forest type measured. Palms produce 60% of edible fruit productivity, averaged over three forest types, but the most preferred palm fruits are difficult to harvest because they are borne too high for easy access by collectors. Forest fruit collection in Amazonia is less productive in the short-term than all other food-producing activities except for hunting and cattle ranching. Technological, social and political changes are essential so that sustainable but intrinsically low-yielding extractive activities like fruit collecting become more attractive to Amazonians. Keywords: harvesting; rainforest; fruit and nut; Amazonian Peru Introduction In the last five years, there has been growing interest in the promise of sustained-yield collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) from tropical forests as an alternative to deforestation. The broad range of NTFPs harvested by forest-dwelling people includes medicinals, fruits, and industrial materials such as rubber and rattan. Potentially, the combined value of such prodcuts, available year-after-year on a sustainable basis, may make NTFP collection an attractive alternative to destructive uses of tropical forests (e.g. -

Sua maior porção está no estado de Minas Gerais e a menor no Espírito Santo, na Serra do Caparaó. Ficus L. é o maior gênero da família Moraceae, com aproximadamente 800 espécies distribuídas na região tropical, incluindo espécies arbustivas, arbóreas, hemiepífitas e trepadeiras. As características mais marcantes do gênero são a inflorescência do tipo sicônio e a polinização por vespas. Para este estudo foram examinados materiais depositados em coleções científicas, além de coletas e observações das populações na natureza. Foram encontradas 25 espécies de Ficus, sendo 17 nativas e oito exóticas. São apresentadas descrições, observações sobre fenologia, distribuição geográfica, conservação, comentários taxonômicos e ilustrações. São descritas e ilustradas nesse trabalho as espécies nativas, dentre as quais seis encontram-se em perigo, devido à fragmentação do habitat e interferência antrópica.

On the wood anatomy of the tribe “Olmedieae” (Moraceae) and the position of the genus Olmedia R. & P. Alberta+M.W. MennegaandMarijke Lanzing-Vinkenborg Instituut voorSystematische Plantkunde,Utrecht SUMMARY The structure ofthe wood ofthe Olmedia genera Castilla, Helicostylis, Maquira, Naucleopsis, , Perebeaand Pseudolmedia,considered to belongin the Olmedieae (cf. Berg 1972) is described. The in anatomical between the is and it is hard to diversity structure genera small, distinguish Maquira, Perebea and Pseudolmedia from each other. Castilla can be recognized by its thin- walled and wide-lumined fibres, Helicostylis by its parenchyma distribution, Naucleopsis (usually) by its more numerous vessels with a smaller diameter. A more marked difference is shown the Olmedia with banded instead of by monotypic genus apotracheal parenchyma the aliform confluent-banded of the other paratracheal to parenchyma genera. Septate which characteristic for the other - of fibres, are genera some species Helicostylis excepted - are nearly completely absent in Olmedia. This structural difference is considered as an in of the exclusion Olmedia from tribe Olmedieae argument favour of the (Berg 1977). 1.
