The Lost Sabals
The Lost Sabals Article and photos by Justen Dobbs, Riverside, CA In California, palmetto palms are not seen very often, whereas in Florida and the Carolinas , they are everywhere. The Mexican fan palm ( Washingtonia robusta ), which is native to Mexico, is our version of the palmetto palm (Sabal palmetto ). However, the Mexican Fan is much faster growing and a little neater looking, which destined it for landscape use in Southern California. Only a palm collector could tell them apart ; to the general public, they’re both fan palms. The palmetto is more cold -hardy than the Mexican fan, but in Southern California this isn’t a necessary feature. I have grown Sabal minor, S . mexicana, S. uresana, S. uresana x mexicana, S . causiarum, S . rosei, and S. bermudana . I knew long before I began growing them that they were notoriously slow. In general, my seedlings take about 6 months to germinate and 3-4 years to get to a 1 gallon size. Compare that to a Mexican fan , which can reach a one-gallon size in a year , it becomes obvious why palmettos haven’t become popular in California. Not all Sabals are slow growers though; Sabal “blackburniana ” (an invalid name and one impossible to apply to recognized species) has a reputation for being a Left - Sabal “blackbur - niana” growing in Southern California. Although this is an invalid name that cannot be linked to a recognized species, Sabals labeled with this name have a reputation for being relatively fast growing. Above - A closeup of seeds on a mature Sabal “blackburniana”.

Darwin Initiative Action Plan for the Coastal Biodiversity of Anegada, British Virgin Islands
Darwin Initiative Action Plan for the Coastal Biodiversity of Anegada, British Virgin Islands Darwin Anegada BAP 2006 Page We dedicate this document to the people of Anegada; the stewards of Anegada’s biodiversity and to Raymond Walker of the BVI National Parks Trust who tragically died after a very short illness during the course of this project. This report should be cited as: McGowan A., A.C.Broderick, C.Clubbe, S.Gore, B.J.Godley, M.Hamilton, B.Lettsome, J.Smith-Abbott, N.K.Woodfield. 2006. Darwin Initiative Action Plan for the Coastal Biodiversity of Anegada, British Virgin Islands. 13 pp. Available online at: http://www.seaturtle.org/mtrg/projects/anegada/ Darwin Anegada BAP 2006 Page 2 1. Introduction It well known that Anegada has globally important biodiversity. Indeed, biodiversity is the basis for most livelihoods; supporting fisheries and leading to the attractiveness that is such a draw to visitors. Over the last three years (2003-2006), a project was undertaken on Anegada with a wide range of activities focussing towards this Biodiversity Action Plan. From the outset it was known that the island hosts a globally important coral reef system, regionally significant populations of marine turtles, is of regional importance to birds and supports globally important endemic plants. The project arose following the encouragement of Anegada community members and subsequent extensive consultation between Dr. Godley (University of Exeter) and heads of BVI Conservation and Fisheries Department (CFD) and BVI National Parks Trust (NPT) who requested that funding be sourced for a project which: 1. Allowed the coastal biodiversity of Anegada to be assessed; 2.

What Is a Tree in the Mediterranean Basin Hotspot? a Critical Analysis
Médail et al. Forest Ecosystems (2019) 6:17 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40663-019-0170-6 RESEARCH Open Access What is a tree in the Mediterranean Basin hotspot? A critical analysis Frédéric Médail1* , Anne-Christine Monnet1, Daniel Pavon1, Toni Nikolic2, Panayotis Dimopoulos3, Gianluigi Bacchetta4, Juan Arroyo5, Zoltán Barina6, Marwan Cheikh Albassatneh7, Gianniantonio Domina8, Bruno Fady9, Vlado Matevski10, Stephen Mifsud11 and Agathe Leriche1 Abstract Background: Tree species represent 20% of the vascular plant species worldwide and they play a crucial role in the global functioning of the biosphere. The Mediterranean Basin is one of the 36 world biodiversity hotspots, and it is estimated that forests covered 82% of the landscape before the first human impacts, thousands of years ago. However, the spatial distribution of the Mediterranean biodiversity is still imperfectly known, and a focus on tree species constitutes a key issue for understanding forest functioning and develop conservation strategies. Methods: We provide the first comprehensive checklist of all native tree taxa (species and subspecies) present in the Mediterranean-European region (from Portugal to Cyprus). We identified some cases of woody species difficult to categorize as trees that we further called “cryptic trees”. We collected the occurrences of tree taxa by “administrative regions”, i.e. country or large island, and by biogeographical provinces. We studied the species-area relationship, and evaluated the conservation issues for threatened taxa following IUCN criteria. Results: We identified 245 tree taxa that included 210 species and 35 subspecies, belonging to 33 families and 64 genera. It included 46 endemic tree taxa (30 species and 16 subspecies), mainly distributed within a single biogeographical unit.

Chamaerops Humilis Chamaerops Is a Genus of Flowering Plants in the Palm Family Arecaceae
Chamaerops humilis Chamaerops is a genus of flowering plants in the palm family Arecaceae. The only currently fully accepted species is Chamaerops humilis, variously called European fan palm or the Mediterranean dwarf palm. It is one of the most cold-hardy palms and is used in landscaping in temperate climates. Taxonomy Apart from the fully accepted Chamaerops humilis, there are a few taxa of unresolved status plus numerous species synonymised under Chamaerops humilis. The genus Chamaerops is closely related to the genus Trachycarpus. The genera differ in that Trachycarpus lacks the clumping habit only forms single stems without basal suckers), the spiny leaf stems (spineless in Trachycarpus), and in small details of the flower anatomy. Description Chamaerops humilis is a shrub-like clumping palm, with several stems growing from a single base. It has an underground rhizome which produces shoots with palmate, sclerophyllous leaves. The stems grow slowly and often tightly together, eventually reaching 2–5 m (10–20 ft) tall with a trunk diameter of 20–25 cm (8–10 in). The petioles are armed with numerous sharp, needle-like spines; these may protect the stem growing point from browsing animals. The flowers are borne in dense, short inflorescences at the tops of the stems. The plants usually, but not invariably, are dioecious with male and female flowers on separate plants. The number of flowers per inflorescence is highly variable for both male and female plants, depending on the size of the inflorescence. The seed (usually 0.6–0.8 g) contains a small cylindrical embryo, which is surrounded by several layers, from inner to outer as follows: a nutritious endosperm, a wide woody layer or endocarp, a fleshy and fibrous mesocarp (the pulp), and the thin outer layer or exocarp.

Palm Evaluation Study at the Mountain Research and Education Center, Blairsville, GA
Palm Evaluation Study at the Mountain Research and Education Center, Blairsville, GA Gary L. Wade Department of Horticulture – Athens University of Georgia Most people associate palms with Florida and tropical islands and can not imagine them growing in Blairsville, Georgia, hardiness zone 6b. It’s unlikely we ever will be able to grow Miami’s Coconut Palms or Orlando’s Queen Palms in Georgia, but there are a number of species known to survive sub-freezing temperatures with little or no damage, thereby making them possible candidates for landscapes throughout Georgia as well as states to the north. Several of these palms are the basis for this study, which is being done in cooperation with the Southeastern Palm Society. Four replicates of eight palm species or cultivars were planted at the Mountain Research and Education Center on June 17, 2005. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the cold hardiness and adaptability of these palms to hardiness zone 6b. Growth measurements and winter injury will be documented over a 5-year period. Palms are reportedly most sensitive to cold injury while they are getting established, and they show increased cold hardiness as they mature. Therefore, winter protection will be provided during the first winter after planting. This will be accomplished by placing a hog-wire hoop over each plant and adding dry pine straw to a depth to cover the center spear (the most cold sensitive part of a palm). A few of the uppermost leaves will be left uncovered so that some photosynthesis can occur. The top and sides of the wire hoop will be covered with 3-mil clear plastic to shield the plants from cold winter winds.

Chamaerops Humilis1
Fact Sheet FPS-123 October, 1999 Chamaerops humilis1 Edward F. Gilman2 Introduction This small, multi-stemmed, hardy palm is the only one native to Europe, and is hardier than most palms (Fig. 1). The curved, clumping, short trunks and gray-green, fan-shaped leaves, borne thickly in a bushy head, make a stunning sculptural element in a garden or patio containers. The fine- textured fronds make the palm stand out from other plants in the landscape. Leaf color on individual plants ranges from light green through silver. Although growth rate is slow, it is well worth the wait since even small plants will stand out nicely in almost any landscape.

Care Sheet for Sabal Minor Or “Dwarf Palmetto” in Virginia Landscapes Fact and Care Sheet for Virginia Gardens
Care Sheet for Sabal minor or “Dwarf Palmetto” in Virginia Landscapes Fact and Care Sheet for Virginia Gardens John A. Saia, President, The Virginia Palm Society Joseph W. Seamone, Maryland horticulturist, McFall & Berry Landscape Management, Brookeville, MD Susanne E. Zilberfarb, Virginia Cooperative Extension Master Gardener, Fairfax County, VA Reviewed by Holly Scoggins, Associate Professor, Department of Horticulture, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA Introduction Native to the Southern United States, the Sabal minor or Dwarf Palmetto is a smaller and much shorter cousin to the familiar Sabal palmetto that lines the streets and palisades of cities in the Deep South, where the fronds were once cut to make ladies’ hand fans. Part of the Dwarf Palmetto’s native range includes the extreme southeastern portion of Virginia. As a result, S. minor is one of the most cold-hardy palms that can be grown in the Commonwealth of Virginia. S. minor features evergreen, deep blue-green fanlike fronds of one to three feet in length, depending on the age of the plant. A shrubby, clumping palm, it may form short trunks of one to three feet after many years of growth. At maturity,S. minor can range from six to eight feet tall and wide. Many specimens have endured Zone 7 and lower winter temperatures and being covered in thick ice and deep snow with little or no damage. Given the proper conditions and period of establishment, S. minor should be hardy throughout all Virginia zones.

Northern Yellow Bat Roost Selection and Fidelity in South Carolina
Final Report South Carolina State Wildlife Grant SC T-F16AF00598 South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) May 1, 2016-June 30, 2017 Project Title: Northern Yellow Bat Roost Selection and Fidelity in South Carolina Mary Socci, Palmetto Bluff Conservancy (PBC), Jay Walea, PBC, Timothy White, PBC, Jason Robinson, Biological Systems Consultants, Inc., and Jennifer Kindel, SCDNR Objective 1: Radio-track healthy Northern yellow bats (≤ 10) captured by mist netting appropriate habitat in spring, summer, and fall 2016, ideally with at least 3 radio-tracking events in each season. Record roost switching, and describe roost sites selected. Accomplishments: Introduction: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the roost site selection and fidelity of northern yellow bats (Lasiurus intermedius, syn. Dasypterus intermedius) by capturing, radio- tagging and tracking individual L. intermedius at Palmetto Bluff, a 15,000 acre, partially-developed tract in Beaufort County, South Carolina (Figures 1 and 2). Other objectives (2 and 3) were to obtain audio recordings of bats foraging in various habitats across the Palmetto Bluff property, including as many L. intermedius as possible and to initiate a public outreach program in order to educate the community on both the project and the environmental needs of bats, many of which are swiftly declining species in United States. Figure 1. Location of Palmetto Bluff 1 Figure 2. The Palmetto Bluff Development Tract The life history of northern yellow bats, a high-priority species in the Southeast, is poorly understood. Studies in coastal Georgia found that all yellow bats that were tracked roosted in Spanish moss in southern live oaks (Quercus virginiana) and sand live oaks (Quercus geminata) (Coleman et al.

We propose a method for seed shape quantification based on the comparison of the bi-dimensional images of the seeds with geometric figures. J index is the percent of similarity of a seed image with a figure taken as a model. Models in shape quantification include geometrical figures (circle, ellipse, oval ::: ) and their derivatives, as well as other figures obtained as geometric representations of algebraic equations. The analysis is based on three sources: Published work, images available on the Internet, and seeds collected or stored in our collections. Some of the models here described are applied for the first time in seed morphology, like the superellipses, a group of bidimensional figures that represent well seed shape in species of the Calamoideae and Phoenix canariensis Hort. ex Chabaud.
