O trabalho faz parte do inventário florístico das epífitas e ervas da Grade PPBio Cuniã e vem sendo desenvolvido desde 2010. Este manuscrito apresenta uma chave para identificação e com tratamento taxonômico das espécies da família Aspleniaceae registradas na Estação Ecológica do Cuniã. Na área de estudo, Aspleniaceae foi representada por quatro espécies (Asplenium angustum Sw., A. hallii Hooker, A. serratum L. e A. stuebelianum Hieron), das quais A. hallii é registrada como nova ocorrência para o estado de Rondônia. Os espécimes registrados são epífitas de tronco de árvores ou palmeiras, ocorrendo em áreas mais secas (parcelas de terra firme) e úmidas (parcelas ripárias). A. serratum foi a espécie mais frequente. Palavras-chave: Amazônia; florística; Programa de Pesquisa em Biodiversidade (PPBio); samambaias. ABSTRACT Considering the great lack of scientific works on ferns and lycophytes of the state of Rondonia, the present study was developed with the aim of contributing to the knowledge about the Rondonian flora. The study is part of the floristic inventory of the epiphytes and herbs of the Biodiversity Research Program-PPBio Cuniã Grid, which has been developed since 2010.

Gann, Executive Director Submitted to CarolAnn Sharkey Key West Botanical Garden 5210 College Road Key West, Florida 33040 and Kate Marks Heritage Preservation 1012 14th Street, NW, Suite 1200 Washington DC 20005 Introduction The Key West Botanical Garden (KWBG) is located at 5210 College Road on Stock Island, Monroe County, Florida. It is a 7.5 acre conservation area, owned by the City of Key West. The KWBG requested that The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) conduct a floristic evaluation of its natural areas and grounds and to provide recommendations. Study Design On August 9-10, 2005 an inventory of all vascular plants was conducted at the KWBG. All areas of the KWBG were visited, including the newly acquired property to the south. Special attention was paid toward the remnant natural habitats. A preliminary plant list was established. Plant taxonomy generally follows Wunderlin (1998) and Bailey et al. (1976). Results Five distinct habitats were recorded for the KWBG. Two of which are human altered and are artificial being classified as developed upland and modified wetland. In addition, three natural habitats are found at the KWBG. They are coastal berm (here termed buttonwood hammock), rockland hammock, and tidal swamp habitats. Developed and Modified Habitats Garden and Developed Upland Areas The developed upland portions include the maintained garden areas as well as the cleared parking areas, building edges, and paths.

The bark of the butterflies younger trees is light brown or gray, and older specimens have a pale yellow bark that is mottled with light brown and green. The bark of the older trees is also roughened by many small, raised lenticels. Bees are attracted to the tiny, corolla-less flowers that have greenish yellow or reddish purple stamens. These flowers are borne individually or in clusters of three or four along the branches, and they occur in the winter and early spring before the new leaves emerge. The fruits are black berries that ripen in the spring and summer. The birds favor these berries, and the plant produces the fruits in abundance.
