Pelagodoxa Henryana (Arecaceae): a Supplement of Additional Photographs and Figures to the 2019 Article in the Journal PALMS
PALMARBOR Hodel et al.: Pelagodoxa supplement 2019-1: 1-24 Pelagodoxa henryana (Arecaceae): A Supplement of Additional Photographs and Figures to the 2019 Article in the Journal PALMS DONALD R. HODEL, JEAN-FRANCOIS BUTAUD, CRAIG E. BARRETT, MICHAEL H. GRAYUM, JAMES KOMEN, DAVID H. LORENCE, JEFF MARCUS, AND ARIITEUIRA FALCHETTO With its large, initially undivided leaves; big, curious, warty fruits; monotypic nature; and mysterious, remote, island habitat, Pelagodoxa henryana has long fascinated palm botanists, collectors and growers, and been one of the holy grails of all who have an interest in palms. The possibility of a second species of Pelagodoxa has generated a substantial amount of interest but the recent literature on the subject has dismissed this prospect and accepted or recognized only one species. However, for 40 years the senior author has propagated and grown P. henryana nearly side by side with a second species of the genus, first in Hawaii, U.S.A and later at his wife’s home in Papeari, Tahiti, French Polynesia, allowing ample opportunity to compare and contrast the two species at various stages of development. An article we wrote reassessing the genus Pelagodoxa was published in the journal PALMS [Hodel et al., Reassessment of Pelagodoxa, PALMS 63(3): 113-146. 2019]. In it we document substantial and critical differences between the two species, P. henryana and P. mesocarpa, establish the validity and resurrect the name of the second species from synonymy, discuss molecular data, phylogeny and phytogeography, ethnobotany and conservation of Pelagodoxa and what impact, if any, they might have had in its speciation and insular distribution. -
Genetic Variation and Agronomic Features of Metroxylon Palms in Asia and Pacific
Chapter 4 Genetic Variation and Agronomic Features of Metroxylon Palms in Asia and Pacific Hiroshi Ehara Abstract Fourteen genera among three subfamilies in the Arecaceae family are known to produce starch in the trunk. The genus Metroxylon is the most productive among them and is classified into section Metroxylon including only one species, M. sagu (sago palm: called the true sago palm), distributed in Southeast Asia and Melanesia and section Coelococcus consisting of M. amicarum in Micronesia, M. salomonense and M. vitiense in Melanesia, M. warburgii in Melanesia and Polynesia, and M. paulcoxii in Polynesia. In sago palm, a relationship between the genetic distance and geographical distribution of populations was found as the result of a random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. A smaller genetic variation of sago palm in the western part than in the eastern part of the Malay Archipelago was also found, which indicated that the more genetically varied populations are distributed in the eastern area and are possibly divided into four broad groups. Metroxylon warburgii has a smaller trunk than sago palm, but the trunk length of M. salomonense, M. vitiense, and M. amicarum is comparable to or longer than that of sago palm. Their leaves are important as building and houseware material, and the hard endosperm of M. amicarum and M. warburgii seeds is utilized as craftwork material. Preemergent young leaves around the growing point of M. vitiense are utilized as a vegetable. Regarding starch yield, palms in Coelococcus are all low in the dry matter and pith starch content as compared with sago palm. For this reason, M. -

Anatomy and Identification of Five Indigenous Rattan Species of Ghana
ANATOMY AND IDENTIFICATION OF FIVE INDIGENOUS RATTAN SPECIES OF GHANA E. Ebanyenle & A. A. Oteng-Amoako Forestry Research Institute a/Ghana, UST Box 63, Kumasi, Ghana ABSTRACT Stem anatomy of Calamus deeratus, Eremospatha hookeri, Eremospatha macrocarpa, Laccosperma acutijlorum and Laccosperma secundijlorum growing naturally in Ghana were investigated to explore the possibility of using anatomical features to distinguish between them. Although the anatomy of all the stems of the five species investigated exhibited a common monocotyledonous structure, they differed considerably in many of their anatomical features. Anatomical features of taxonomic and diagnostic significance at genus level included: the number of metaxylem vessels and phloem fields in a vascular bundle and type of ground parenchyma. However, the most important anatomical features to distinguish species are the epidermal cell size and shape. A combination of several anatomical features is used to develop a tentative identification key to thefive rattan species occurring naturally in Ghana. Keywords: Ghana, indigenous, rattan, anatomy, identification INTRODUCTION another and sometimes the same name is given to more than one species. In Rattan is a collective term commonly used addition, poor harvesting techniques and for spiny palms belonging to the subfamily over-exploitation from its natural habitat Calamoideae of the family palmae.

Hence, the future of the in the Southeast Asian region and four rattan industry upon which many rural genera of 19 species occur in West and people depend appears to be threatened Central Africa. -

Received: 3 September 2012; in revised form: 29 October 2012 / Accepted: 16 November 2012 / Published: 23 November 2012 Abstract: Species endemic to mountains on oceanic islands are subject to a number of existing threats (in particular, invasive species) along with the impacts of a rapidly changing climate. The Lord Howe Island endemic palm Hedyscepe canterburyana is restricted to two mountains above 300 m altitude. Predation by the introduced Black Rat (Rattus rattus) is known to significantly reduce seedling recruitment. We examined the variation in Hedyscepe in terms of genetic variation, morphology, reproductive output and demographic structure, across an altitudinal gradient. -

(Cycadaceae), a new species from central Queensland. Austrobaileya 8(3): 356–363. A new species of Cycas from the Broadsound and Connors Ranges in central Queensland is described, illustrated and diagnosed as C. terryana P.I.Forst. It is known from five populations in an area of occurrence of approximately 800 km² and does not occur in any conservation reserves. A conservation status of Vulnerable based on the IUCN criterion of D2 is recommended for the species.
