E-mail: Abstract: The Rondônia Natural Resources Management Project (PLANAFLORO) was a strategic program developed in partnership between the Brazilian Government and The World Bank in 1992, with the purpose of stimulating the sustainable development and protection of the Amazon in the state of Rondônia. More than a decade after the PLANAFORO program concluded, the aim of the present work is to recover and share the information from the long-abandoned plant collections made during the project’s ecological-economic zoning phase. Most of the material analyzed was sterile, but the fertile voucher specimens recovered are listed here. The material examined represents 378 species in 234 genera and 76 families of angiosperms. Some 8 genera, 68 species, 3 subspecies and 1 variety are new records for Rondônia State. It is our intention that this information will stimulate future studies and contribute to a better understanding and more effective conservation of the plant diversity in the southwestern Amazon of Brazil. Introduction The PLANAFLORO Project funded botanical expeditions In early 1990, Brazilian Amazon was facing remarkably in different areas of the state to inventory arboreal plants high rates of forest conversion (Laurance et al. -

Natural Heritage Assessment of the Uncompahgre River Basin
The Uncompahgre River Basin A Natural Heritage Assessment Volume I Prepared for Valley Land Conservancy Montrose, Colorado March, 1999 By Peggy Lyon, Tom Stephens, Jeremy Siemers, Denise Culver, Phyllis Pineda, and Jennifer Zoerner Colorado Natural Heritage Program 254 General Services Building, CSU Ft. Collins, CO 80523 User’s Guide The Uncompahgre Basin Biological Assessment conducted by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program consists of two essentially distinct projects that are highly integrated with respect to methodology and fieldwork. This report reflects the separate nature of the projects by being organized in a two-volume set. Volume I presents all potential conservation sites that have been identified in the Uncompahgre Basin that support rare and imperiled plants, animals, and significant plant communities, including wetland and riparian areas. Volume II focuses exclusively on wetland and riparian areas. Volume II also presents “locally significant areas.” These are sites that are among the most important wetlands in the Uncompahgre Basin, but they are not unique from a national or statewide perspective, and therefore these sites did not receive a Biodiversity Rank. Additionally, Volume II presents an assessment of the wetland functions performed by each site that was surveyed. These functional assessments are intended to provide the user with a more complete picture of the value wetlands and riparian areas provide to Uncompahgre Basin residents. Both projects utilized the same Natural Heritage Methodology that is used throughout North America, and both searched for and assessed the plants, animals, and plant communities on the Colorado Natural Heritage Program’s List of rare and imperiled elements of biodiversity. -

First Steps Towards a Floral Structural Characterization of the Major Rosid Subclades
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2006 First steps towards a floral structural characterization of the major rosid subclades Endress, P K ; Matthews, M L Abstract: A survey of our own comparative studies on several larger clades of rosids and over 1400 original publications on rosid flowers shows that floral structural features support to various degrees the supraordinal relationships in rosids proposed by molecular phylogenetic studies. However, as many apparent relationships are not yet well resolved, the structural support also remains tentative. Some of the features that turned out to be of interest in the present study had not previously been considered in earlier supraordinal studies. The strongest floral structural support is for malvids (Brassicales, Malvales, Sapindales), which reflects the strong support of phylogenetic analyses. Somewhat less structurally supported are the COM (Celastrales, Oxalidales, Malpighiales) and the nitrogen-fixing (Cucurbitales, Fagales, Fabales, Rosales) clades of fabids, which are both also only weakly supported in phylogenetic analyses. The sister pairs, Cucurbitales plus Fagales, and Malvales plus Sapindales, are structurally only weakly supported, and for the entire fabids there is no clear support by the present floral structural data. However, an additional grouping, the COM clade plus malvids, shares some interesting features but does not appear as a clade in phylogenetic analyses. Thus it appears that the deepest split within eurosids- that between fabids and malvids - in molecular phylogenetic analyses (however weakly supported) is not matched by the present structural data. Features of ovules including thickness of integuments, thickness of nucellus, and degree of ovular curvature, appear to be especially interesting for higher level relationships and should be further explored. -
INTRODUCTION Revisions for Thailand of the Genera Now
THAI FOR. BULL. (BOT.) 43: 46–50. 2015. Revisiting taxonomic circumscriptions in Hydnocarpus Gaertn. and Ryparosa Blume for the Achariaceae of Thailand BRUCE L. WEBBER1 & BOB HARWOOD2 ABSTRACT. The split of the Flacourtiaceae into Achariaceae and Salicaceae has necessitated an updated treatment of these families for regional fl oras. In revising the Achariaceae for the Flora of Thailand, new insights on taxon circumscriptions in the family were generated based on a robust interrogation of delimiting characters and historical taxonomic decisions. Justifi cations for accepting certain taxa and synonymising others are here presented, along with recommendations for guiding future taxonomic work.

The compendium is a compilation of statistical information collected from data produced by various government agencies and from data available in different statistical publications. The compilation of statistical data in this compendium is based on the Philippine Framework of Environment Statistics (PFDES) which in turn is based on the United Nations Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics. It covers data for the period 1992 to 2000, whenever possible. Latest figures presented vary depending on the availability of data. The PFDES provides a systematic approach to the development of environment statistics and is an instrument for compiling and integrating data coming from various data collecting institutions to make them more useful in the formulation and evaluation of socio-economic and environmental programs and policies. -
Nepenthes Maximoides (Nepenthaceae) a New, Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) Species in Sect

Nepenthes maximoides (Nepenthaceae) a new, Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) species in Sect. Alatae from Luzon, Philippines showing striking pitcher convergence with N. maxima (Sect. Regiae) of Indonesia. Charles King¹, Martin Cheek¹ ¹Science, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, U.K. Email address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Nepenthes maximoides sp. nov. (Sect. Alatae) is described and assessed as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) from Luzon, Philippines and appears unrecorded in 110 years. The spectacular, large, narrowly funnel-shaped upper pitchers, lids with recurved basal, and filiform apical appendages, unlike any other species in the Philippines, closely resemble those of N. maxima (Sect. Regiae) of Sulawesi-New Guinea, likely due to convergent evolution. Following recent phylogenomic analysis, sect. Alatae is divided into two, Sect. Alatae sensu stricto of Luzon to Sibuyan (including N. maximoides), and Sect. Micramphorae, expanded and recircumscribed to encompass those species of the southern Visayas, and Mindanao. A key is provided to the six species now recognised in the narrowly recircumscribed Sect. Alatae. The number of Nepenthes species recorded from Luzon has increased from two in 2001, to eight in 2020, all but one of which are endemic to that island, and four of which appear to be point endemics. Key words. Mt Banahaw, H.M.Curran, Extinct, Tayabas Province INTRODUCTION This paper is one in a series leading to a monograph of the genus Nepenthes building on a skeletal revision of the genus (Jebb & Cheek, 1997) and the account for Flora Malesiana (Cheek & Jebb, 2001).
