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. -

Itaya Amicorum in PALM BEACH COUNTY
GROWING Itaya amicorum IN PALM BEACH COUNTY Submitted by Charlie Beck Itaya amicorum is native to restricted areas of Columbia, Peru, and Brazil. It grows in wet areas along rivers and streams, and also grows away from water courses at elevations up to 1000 feet. This is a tropical rainforest palm which was discovered and named in 1972. This palm is critically endangered due to land clearing. Itaya amicorum is a solitary, palmate palm. Its leaves resemble large pinwheels similar to those of a large Licuala peltata although the petioles are unarmed. The leaf undersides are silvery gray or white. There is only one species identified in the genus Itaya. This palm is most closely related to Chelyocarpus but can be easily distinguished by its split petiole bases similar to palms in the genus Thrinax. Itaya amicorum is a monoecious palm with showy white, hermaphroditic flowers. In habitat these palms top out at 15’ tall on stems which measure 3-4” in diameter. Six foot diameter leaves are held on 7-8’ long petioles. More than 20 years ago I was shopping for palms at a South Florida Palm Society Sale located at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. I was there at the sale opening early Saturday morning. I was with all of the other palm enthusiasts, running from booth to booth trying to locate the rarest of rare palms. I overheard two of the vendors talking about someone was selling a small Itaya amicorum for $350. At that time I didn’t know this palm, nor was I willing to pay $350 for such a small specimen. -

Cacao and Its Allies
CACAO AND ITS ALLIES A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE GENUS THEOBROMA Jose Cuatrecasas Introduction "Celebrem etiam per universam Americam multique usua fructum Cacao appellatum." Clusius, 1605. "Cacao nomen barbarum, quo rejecto Theobroma dicta est arbor, cum fructus basin sternat potioni delicatissimae, Baluberrimae, maxime nutrienti, chocolate mexicanis, Euro- paeis quondam folis Magnatis propriae (ffpotfta rwf 8&av, Vos Deos feci dixit Deus de imperantibus), licet num vilior fact a." Linnaeus, Hort. Cliff. 379. 1737. Theobroma, a genus of the family Sterculiaceae, is particularly noteworthy because one of its members is the popular "cacao tree" or "cocoa tree." The uses and cultivation of this outstanding tropical plant were developed in the western hemisphere by the Mayas in Central America a long time before Europeans arrived on the con- tinent. The now universally used name cacao is derived directly from the Nahuatl "cacahuatl" or "cacahoatl," just as the name of the popular drink, chocolate, is derived from "xocoafcl" or "chocoatl." The economic importance of cacao has given rise to great activity in several fields of development and research, especially in agronomy. Historians and anthropologists have also been very much interested in learning the role played by cacao in the economy and social relations of the early American populations. There exists today an extensive literature devoted to the many problems related to cacao. I saw cacao for the first time in Colombia in 1932, but became actually interested in the genus in 1939 and the years following, when I found cacao trees growing wild in the rain forests of the Amazonian basin. I was fascinated by the unique structure of the flowers of the cocoa tree, and its extraordinary fruit.
