July–September 2016—Volume 131, pp. 527–533 http://dx.doi.org/10.5248/131527 Lithothelium bermudense sp. nov., a new saxicolous lichen from Bermuda Franz Berger1*, Scott LaGreca2 & André Aptroot3 1 Raiffeisenweg 130, A–4794, Kopfing, Austria 2 Plant Pathology Herbarium, School of Integrative Plant Science, 334 Plant Science Building, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853-5904 USA 3ABL Herbarium, G.v.d.Veenstr. 107, NL-3762 XK Soest, The Netherlands * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—Lithothelium bermudense is described as a new saxicolous lichen from Bermuda, characterized mainly by its endolithic thallus and red-brown 3-distoseptate spores with diamond-shaped lumina. Key words—endemic, Pyrenulaceae, taxonomy, Walsingham Introduction The genus Lithothelium Müll. Arg. comprises at least 33 species of pyrenocarpous lichens in the Pyrenulaceae (Aptroot 2006, 2007, McCarthy 2015, Gueidan et al. 2016). It is characterized by distoseptate ascospores with rounded lumina, unbranched paraphyses (reported to be anastomosing in one species) and cylindrical asci that have a conspicuous ocular chamber. The ocular chamber is often rounded, but in some species (or specimens) it is decidedly invaginated (sagittiform). It cannot, however, be ruled out that this invagination is simply a more mature developmental stage, as it seems to be more common in asci with mature spores, just prior to ascospore release. Most species occur in the tropics; only a few are widely distributed or locally abundant. As the name already suggests (the prefix “Litho-“ derived from the Greek word lithos, meaning “stone”), some species occur on rock, a characteristic otherwise unknown in this family.

  • Sabals in Southern California
    Sabals in Southern California Article and photos by Geoff Stein, Tarzana, CA To be honest with you, Sabals didn’t excite me that much, with a few exceptions, until the big freeze last January. Creeping out my front door to inspect the inevitable devastation that freezing, sunny January morning, I barely glanced at the Sabal bermudana and/or S. domingensis planted there. They ALWAYS looked good, and that morning was no exception . But a few weeks later, when almost everything else was dead, dying or in various stages of defoliating, the Sabals started looking better and better to me. I remember an older Palm Society member selling his Sabal palm at an auction one year and telling us all that if we wanted a palm that was going to still be around at his age no matter what freezes or droughts came along, this was the one to buy , and I will never forget that. I didn’t buy his palm, but I sure hope someone did, and is appreci - ating it now. I don’t think I’m alone when I struggle to fall in love with this genus. They look too darn much like Washingtonias (of which there are far too many, until they get super tall - then they’re great), except that Above - The trunk of a large Sabal bermundana Sabals grow ten or twenty times more slowly.

  • 1 Paper Title: Heritage Management and Museums in St. George's, Bermuda Author: Mingqian Liu Author Position: Doctoral Stud
    Paper title: Heritage Management and Museums in St. George’s, Bermuda Author: Mingqian Liu Author position: Doctoral Student Institutional affiliation: Department of Architecture, Texas A&M University E-mail: [email protected] Summary: Bermuda is the oldest continually inhabited English settlement in the New World, and the town of St. George’s served as the capital of Bermuda from its founding in 1612 to the early 19th century. Today, St. George’s UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrates its 400 years of history, culture, and architecture through historic preservation, heritage tourism and public education in museums. This project aims to investigate the current heritage management situation in this historic town center through field observation, stakeholder interviews, and museum content analysis. Issues being discussed here include heritage narrative and navigating system, human connection to the built environment, diversity and inclusiveness of the narrative, as well as staffing situation at the local museums. Paper: Project background Bermuda is a North Atlantic archipelago with a total area of just twelve square miles. It is approximately 665 miles southeast of the North Carolina coast. Throughout its more than 400 years of history, Bermuda went through different phrases of development. It was originally discovered by a Spanish explorer named Juan de Bermudez (hence, the name of the archipelago) in 1505, although neither the Spanish nor the Portuguese settled permanently on the island. In 1609, an English fleet en route to save the suffering colony of Virginia wrecked their ship, Sea Venture, off the coast of Bermuda. This marked the beginning of the archipelago’s colonial history.
