Salvias, with their dazzling flowers and intriguing relationships with pollinators, are one such group. He has collected and photographed huela/FTBG salvias in their natural habitats in California, Florida, Mexico and the Gaby Ori Caribbean.

He has been a valuable member of the Fairchild South Florida Conservation Team for six years. In addition, he has extensive collection management and field experience with coastal dune vegetation surveys, design and implementation of endangered Jacquemontia reclinata experiments. ON THE COVER Miconia calvescens Photo by Pedro Lastra from the executive director I hope you enjoyed the lush opulence of Fairchild during the summer. The Victoria water lilies are filling their pool and the hedychium gingers are spicing the air. I greatly enjoyed our fourth Butterfly Festival at Fairchild—a wonderful partnership with the Miami Blue chapter of the North American Butterfly Association. For two days, we celebrated butterflies and butterfly gardening with the wonderful Lisa D. Anness Butterfly Garden as the centerpiece. It is hard to believe that only one year ago Larry Rutherford initiated the project. It is now a vibrant garden that attracts flocks of people and butterflies. A highlight for me is seeing how Fairchild’s population of the endangered Atala butterfly is thriving to the extent that we now provide caterpillars for reintroduction to other sites. As with all our festivals, it was tremendously rewarding to see how Fairchild’s great staff and volunteers worked together to deliver a wonderful event. Gardening should be about celebrating the locality and developing a sense of place for plants and people. Accordingly, butterflies and mangos are defining elements for the South Florida garden. In mid-July, we held our most successful International Mango Festival with thousands of people enjoying our garden and celebrating the Caribbean’s mango heritage. Behind the festivities are decades of hard work and that particular horticultural understanding that is gained, not from books but from the field and grove. Dr. Richard Campbell and Noris Ledesma are two extraordinary people who have developed and curated the world’s greatest mango collection. The table display of mango cultivars at the International Mango Festival is a potent display of mango diversity and a dizzying selection of shape, size, aroma and taste, a reflection of centuries of horticulture. Dr. David Fairchild provided the original institutional focus on science that is reflected in our mission and excellent research collections. As with all great endeavors, our garden has grown across the generations, building on the energy and expertise of each generation. Our experts in tropical horticulture and botany represent a direct link with Dr. Fairchild and his philosophy: the interconnection of plants and people. The first book by Dr. Fairchild that I read was The World Was My Garden, a wonderful heady mixture of plantsmanship and exotic travel for a teenager in the south of England. Today you can see the world at Fairchild. Our plant collections have never been richer and more spectacular. While we continue to exhibit the world’s tropical flora, our staff works to conserve that flora for future generations. This summer, Fairchild staff explored in the Cockpit Country of Jamaica; helped establish a new botanic gardens in Guatemala and Oman; assessed Asian palm conservation priorities in the Philippines; and ran a training program for botanic garden staff in Panama. Here at home, our education team continues to inspire thousands of Miami-Dade students. The horticulture team has been transforming the garden in preparation for our forthcoming Lichtenstein at Fairchild exhibition. This summer the readers of The Miami Herald voted Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden as the number one wonder of Florida. This was a great tribute to the garden and the generations who have nurtured it. Thank you for supporting us and allowing your garden to grow to its current glory. Fairchild’s work has never been more important as we realize that all life depends on plants.

    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.

    TRADE RELATED PATHWAYS TO THE INTRODUCTION OF TERRESRIAL INVASIVE SPECIES IN THE INSULAR CARIBBEAN Report to International Programs, US Forest Service MARCH, 2008 Review copy – not for circulation or attribution J. D. Waugh1 1 Senior Fellow, IUCN-the International Union for Conservation of Nature, USA Multila- teral Office; [email protected] Acknowledgements This report is made possible through the generous support of the International Programs of the US Department of Agriculture’s US Forest Service. Its purpose is to re- view the potential risk of introductions of invasive species through trade related path- ways in the insular Caribbean, with a particular emphasis on larger islands and on the potential impacts of trade-related introductions of invasives on forests. Special thanks are due to Jerilyn Levi and Jennifer Conje of the US Forest Service for their support in seeing this project through to its completion. Thanks are also due to Dr. Jamie Reaser, whose contributions to IUCN’s work on invasive species and trade made this project possible.
