ABSTRACT Juglans jamaicensis subsp insularis, is an endemism of Pinar del Río, protected by Resolution 330/1999 of the Ministry of Agriculture included in the Red List of Cuban Vascular Flora. It is a species that has been little studied in its physiology and anatomy. The present study aims to characterize the stomas of Juglans jamaicensis subsp. insularis. Epidermal impressions were made with nail polish on both sides of the leaflets. These were observed with a novel optical microscope (NLCD-307 B). The length and width of the stomas were measured with a 40x lens, the density per unit area (cm²) and the stomatic index. The average size of the stomas is 16.5 μm wide and 19.9 μm long.

Facultad * Autor de correspondencia. [email protected]; de Ingeniería y Ciencias Ambientales. Antioquia, [email protected] Colombia. RESUMEN Las especies de la familia Juglandaceae han evolucionado desde hace 56 millones de años, distribuyéndose por todo el mundo. Juglans neotropica es originaria de América del Sur y se encuentra entre 1800 m y 2800 m de altitud, en bosques secos y húmedos montanos bajos. Es una especie de hojas compuestas alternas, monoica, con polinización cruzada y anemófila, dispersada por animales y el agua, con reproducción anual. Actualmente, está catalogada en peligro de extinción (EN A2cd), ya que 52% de sus poblaciones es sobreexplotada con fines maderables. Los usos de la especie la hacen promisoria; su madera es una de las más valiosas del mundo pues en todas sus partes se han encontrado sustancias activas con potencial para la agroindustria textil, la medicina, como alimento humano; se ha usado como una excelente fuente de leña en zonas rurales. Esta especie es clave en la adaptación ante el cambio climático por sus servicios ambientales en la recuperación ecológica de suelos degradados y por mantener la calidad del aire y el agua bajo sistemas agroforestales que al mismo tiempo son un hábitat y fuente de recursos alimenticios para la fauna silvestre.

Approved: May 3st, 2020. ABSTRACT The study of the relationship between the forestry seeds quality and their germination brings key information for the conservation of these species and the establishment of management programs. Juglans jamaicensis C. DC (walnut) is an endangered species, located in the main mountain systems of Cuba. Populations of this species have suffered a drastic reduction due to different natural and anthropic factors. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the seed quality parameters (size and weight) of J. jamaicensis and its germination. The seeds were collected in San Blas and El Nicho, located in the Guamuhaya Mountain, south central Cuba, which were measured and weight. After that, the germination time and its average of germinated seeds were determined.

The reader should note the coverage of each bibliography: Hispaniola is exhaustively covered by all three bibliographies (from the origin up to now) while other areas of the Carribean are specifically treated only since 1984.
