Patrocinador ii RESUMEN Se realizaron observaciones morfológicas a las plántulas Virola pavonis y V. sebífera en el bosque Alexander Von Humboldt de la Estación Experimental Agraria Alexander Von Humboldt del Instituto para la Innovación Agraria, Pucallpa, Ucayali-Perú. La metodología seguida para las observaciones morfológicas de las plántulas se basó en el estudio de regeneración natural de árboles tropicales propuesta por DIAZ Y RIOS (1993) y en la terminología botánica de VOZZO (1996) y PROCOPIO (2005). Simultáneamente para el mismo ámbito de estudio se describió dendrológicamente a los árboles adultos de las especies del género Virola. La descripción dendrológica se basó en formularios dendrológicos propuestos por RIOS (1990), DIAZ (1991) y ALEXIADES (1996). Adicionalmente se utilizó el Análisis Multivariado como herramienta estadística para el análisis de la morfometría foliar de las especies estudiadas. Fueron cuatro las especies encontradas en el área del bosque Alexander Von Humboldt: Virola pavonis, Virola sebifera, Virola calophylla y Virola peruviana. Como resultados se obtuvo las observaciones morfológicas de V. pavonis en sus tres estadíos de desarrollo: cotiledones, protófilo y metáftlo. De V. sebifera se realizó observaciones generales de las plántulas encontradas en el bosque natural. Por otro lado, para la correcta identificación de los árboles adultos se elaboraron descripciones dendrológicas para cada una de las cuatro especies, el gráfico del Análisis Multivariado dentro del estudio de morfometría foliar y dos claves de identificación dendrológica, una basada en fuste, corteza y hojas y la otra solamente en hojas y ramitas.

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.

  • A Molecular Taxonomic Treatment of the Neotropical Genera
    An Intrageneric and Intraspecific Study of Morphological and Genetic Variation in the Neotropical Compsoneura and Virola (Myristicaceae) by Royce Allan David Steeves A Thesis Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Botany Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Royce Steeves, August, 2011 ABSTRACT AN INTRAGENERIC AND INTRASPECIFIC STUDY OF MORPHOLOGICAL AND GENETIC VARIATION IN THE NEOTROPICAL COMPSONEURA AND VIROLA (MYRISTICACEAE) Royce Allan David Steeves Advisor: University of Guelph, 2011 Dr. Steven G. Newmaster The Myristicaceae, or nutmeg family, consists of 21 genera and about 500 species of dioecious canopy to sub canopy trees that are distributed worldwide in tropical rainforests. The Myristicaceae are of considerable ecological and ethnobotanical significance as they are important food for many animals and are harvested by humans for timber, spices, dart/arrow poison, medicine, and a hallucinogenic snuff employed in medico-religious ceremonies. Despite the importance of the Myristicaceae throughout the wet tropics, our taxonomic knowledge of these trees is primarily based on the last revision of the five neotropical genera completed in 1937. The objective of this thesis was to perform a molecular and morphological study of the neotropical genera Compsoneura and Virola. To this end, I generated phylogenetic hypotheses, surveyed morphological and genetic diversity of focal species, and tested the ability of DNA barcodes to distinguish species of wild nutmegs. Morphological and molecular analyses of Compsoneura. indicate a deep divergence between two monophyletic clades corresponding to informal sections Hadrocarpa and Compsoneura. Although 23 loci were tested for DNA variability, only the trnH-psbA intergenic spacer contained enough variation to delimit 11 of 13 species sequenced.

  • De Plantis Toxicariis E Mundo Novo Tropicale Comment a Tiones - Xxxviii
    DE PLANTIS TOXICARIIS E MUNDO NOVO TROPICALE COMMENT A TIONES - XXXVIII ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL AND ALKALOIDAL NOTES ON PLANTS OF THE NORTHWEST AMAZON RICHARD EVANS SCHULTES * and ROBERT F. R<\FFAUF * Research on the biodynamic plants of the northwest Amazon, especially that part lying within the borders of Colombia, has continued to add to the large number of plants with biological activity-plants deserving of c::ientific study for the benefit of mankind. This series has continued to note the uses of plants as medicines, poisons or narcotics that the Indians of the northwest Amazon have, through millennia of trial and error, discovered to possess some activity on the human or animal body. It is on these plants-rather perhaps than on a random sampling of the 80.000 species in the Amazon Valley-that modern phytochemists and phar- macologists should focus their attention. With the rapid encroachment and success of acculturation, the folk- knowledge acquired through hundreds of years by aboriginal peoples is rapidly being lost. There is little time to lose, and scientists must come to realize the practical value to us of the Indians' knowledge of the properties of this ambient vegetation. It is probable that this region of the northwest Amazon has one of the richest ethnopharrnacopoeias in tropical America. The region may also be the richest in species of plants of the Amazon Valley, an area slightly larger than the United States. * Botanical Museum, Harvard University Oxford Street, Cambridge, Mass. 02138 E.U.A. 332 CALDASIA, VOL. XV, Nos. 71-75 OCTUBRE 30 DE 1986 An amazingly large number of different tribes inhabit this region, all of them-at least until the last few years-more or less dependent on their local flora for "medicinally" useful plants for treatment of their ills.
