(Moraceae) and the Position of the Genus Olmedia R. & P On the wood anatomy of the tribe “Olmedieae” (Moraceae) and the position of the genus Olmedia R. & P. Alberta+M.W. MennegaandMarijke Lanzing-Vinkenborg Instituut voorSystematische Plantkunde,Utrecht SUMMARY The structure ofthe wood ofthe Olmedia genera Castilla, Helicostylis, Maquira, Naucleopsis, , Perebeaand Pseudolmedia,considered to belongin the Olmedieae (cf. Berg 1972) is described. The in anatomical between the is and it is hard to diversity structure genera small, distinguish Maquira, Perebea and Pseudolmedia from each other. Castilla can be recognized by its thin- walled and wide-lumined fibres, Helicostylis by its parenchyma distribution, Naucleopsis (usually) by its more numerous vessels with a smaller diameter. A more marked difference is shown the Olmedia with banded instead of by monotypic genus apotracheal parenchyma the aliform confluent-banded of the other paratracheal to parenchyma genera. Septate which characteristic for the other - of fibres, are genera some species Helicostylis excepted - are nearly completely absent in Olmedia. This structural difference is considered as an in of the exclusion Olmedia from tribe Olmedieae argument favour of the (Berg 1977). 1. INTRODUCTION The structure of the secondary wood of the Moraceae shows in comparison to that of other families rather uniform This is true many a pattern. particularly for most genera of the tribe Olmedieae. Differences are mainly found in size and numberof vessels, absence of fibres, and in the distribu- or presence septate tion and quantity ofaxial parenchyma. Besides the description of the Moraceae have Tippo’s in Metcalfe& Chalk’s Anatomy ofthe Dicotyledons (1950), we the and of the American (1938) account of family a treatment genera by Record & Hess (1940). The latter authors pointed out how unreliable their from because the botanists who material was, even originating type trees, proposed the new species were sometimes uncertain as to the genera to which these species should be assigned. In recent time several taxonomic revisions were published among which Berg’s (1972) “Revision of the Neotropical Olmedieae and Brosimeae.” of the While Berg studied the taxonomy Olmedieae, the second author in- vestigated the wood structure of our materialof the genera at that time con- sidered to belong to the Olmedieae. It appeared from her study (unpublished doctorate thesis) that differences in wood structure between the species, although small, do enable a certain arrangement into groups. She drew her conclusions from anatomy independantly from Berg’s taxonomical results. A subsequent comparison of their respective conclusions showed that the 2 A. M, W. MENNEGA AND M. LANZING-VINKENBORG arrangement of the wood samples agreed remarkably well with the taxonomic arrangement. It seemed desirable to wait with publication of the results of the anatomical until additionalmaterial in not investigation genera or poorly represented up till then would be available. As from table all appears 1 seven genera which, according to Berg (1972), constitute the tribe Olmedieae are now represented in most others the Olmedia is a satisfactory way. Among genus now represented. In a recent paper Berg (1976) points out that the genus Olmedia must be excluded from the tribe Olmedieae for various reasons. This necessitated a redefinition of the tribe and for Castilleae a new name it: C. C. Berg. For practical reasons the present paper still refers to the Olmedieae in the former wide sense. 2. MATERIAL AND METHODS The material is listed in table I. In the table the revised names as well as the scientific wood names which accompanied the specimens received from other institutes are listed. In those cases where the material abundant was very a selection was made of the samples to be sectioned, the other ones being in- hand spected by a x 10 lens. All wood specimens are backed by herbarium vouchers which were identifiedby Berg. In the usual way sections and macerations were prepared for studying the characters. For of the microscopical some specimens softening in hydrofluoric acid previous to cutting was necessary. Macerations were made by placing wood in mixture of of acetic acid and chips overnight a equal parts hydrogen peroxide at a temperature of 60 °C. In the generic descriptions the averages for the length of vessel members and fibres are calculated from the average values for the species, the lowest and between brackets. The the highest averages being placed ranges comprise lowest and highest valuesencounteredwithin the species. 3. GENERAL ANATOMICAL CHARACTERS OF THE WOOD Characteristic for all the scattered vessels with genera are simple perforations and moderate to rather large alternate intervascular pits ranging from 5.5-10 /un; vessel memberswith short tips or without tips, and a length of about 400- The fibre tissue consists of libriformwith small the 500 /un. simple pits on radial walls. Mostly fibres are septate with 1-3 septae per fibre, but in some genera, like of the fibres Helicostylis, only part are septate and in Olmedia septate fibres are extremely scarce. In a number of the fibres gelatinous walls are nearly always present. The majority shows the long spindle form and ranges from 1700 but shorter fibres 1000 /un long, with a wider body and more in the fibres abruptly ending bayonet-like tips are also present. In Castilla are wider and thinner-walled than in the other genera; in Naucleopsis they tend to be slightly shorter than in the other genera.

  • The Potential for Harvesting Fruits in Tropical Rainforests: New Data from Amazonian Peru
    Biodiversity and Conversation 2, 18-38 The potential for harvesting fruits in tropical rainforests: new data from Amazonian Peru OLIVER PHILLIPS* Department Of' Biology, Washington University, Campus Box 1137, 1 Brookings Drive, St Louis, MO 63130- 4899, USA Received 28 January 1992; accepted 18 February 1992 New data shows that edible fruit and nut production in Amazonian forests is substantially lower than most conservationists assume. Direct measures of production in Amazonian Peru show that two terra firrna forest types produced significantly less edible fruit than an alluvial soil forest. Swamp forest produced more edible fruit than any other forest type measured. Palms produce 60% of edible fruit productivity, averaged over three forest types, but the most preferred palm fruits are difficult to harvest because they are borne too high for easy access by collectors. Forest fruit collection in Amazonia is less productive in the short-term than all other food-producing activities except for hunting and cattle ranching. Technological, social and political changes are essential so that sustainable but intrinsically low-yielding extractive activities like fruit collecting become more attractive to Amazonians. Keywords: harvesting; rainforest; fruit and nut; Amazonian Peru Introduction In the last five years, there has been growing interest in the promise of sustained-yield collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) from tropical forests as an alternative to deforestation. The broad range of NTFPs harvested by forest-dwelling people includes medicinals, fruits, and industrial materials such as rubber and rattan. Potentially, the combined value of such prodcuts, available year-after-year on a sustainable basis, may make NTFP collection an attractive alternative to destructive uses of tropical forests (e.g.

E-mail: Abstract: The Rondônia Natural Resources Management Project (PLANAFLORO) was a strategic program developed in partnership between the Brazilian Government and The World Bank in 1992, with the purpose of stimulating the sustainable development and protection of the Amazon in the state of Rondônia. More than a decade after the PLANAFORO program concluded, the aim of the present work is to recover and share the information from the long-abandoned plant collections made during the project’s ecological-economic zoning phase. Most of the material analyzed was sterile, but the fertile voucher specimens recovered are listed here. The material examined represents 378 species in 234 genera and 76 families of angiosperms. Some 8 genera, 68 species, 3 subspecies and 1 variety are new records for Rondônia State. It is our intention that this information will stimulate future studies and contribute to a better understanding and more effective conservation of the plant diversity in the southwestern Amazon of Brazil. Introduction The PLANAFLORO Project funded botanical expeditions In early 1990, Brazilian Amazon was facing remarkably in different areas of the state to inventory arboreal plants high rates of forest conversion (Laurance et al.

INTRODUCTION The structure of the secondary wood of the Moraceae shows in comparison to that of many other families a rather uniform pattern. This is particularly true for of the tribe Olmedieae. Differences found in size most genera are mainly and numberof vessels, absence or presence of septate fibres, and in the distribu- tion and quantity of axial parenchyma. Besides the description of the Moraceae in Metcalfe& Chalk’s Anatomy of theDicotyledons (1950), we have Tippo’s of the and of the American (1938) account family a treatment genera by Record & Hess (1940).

  • The Castilleae, a Tribe of the Moraceae, Renamed and Redefined Due to the Exclusion of the Type Genus Olmedia From
    Bot. Neerl. Ada 26(1), February 1977, p. 73-82, The Castilleae, a tribe of the Moraceae, renamed and redefined due to the exclusion of the type genus Olmedia from the “Olmedieae” C.C. Berg Instituut voor Systematische Plantkunde, Utrecht SUMMARY New data on in the of Moraceae which known cladoptosis group was up to now as the tribe Olmedieae led to a reconsideration ofthe position ofOlmedia, and Antiaropsis , Sparattosyce. The remainder ofthe tribe is redefined and is named Castilleae. 1. INTRODUCTION The monotypic genus Olmedia occupies an isolated position within the neo- tropical Olmedieae. Its staminate flowers have valvate tepals, inflexed stamens springing back elastically at anthesis, and sometimes well-developed pistil- lodes. Current anatomical research on the wood of Moraceae (by Dr. A. M. W. Mennega) and recent field studies (by the present author) revealed that Olmedia is also distinct in anatomical characters of the wood and because of the lack of self-pruning branches. These differences between Olmedia and the other representatives of the tribe demand for reconsideration of the position of the genus and the deliminationof the tribe. The Olmedia described The genus was by Ruiz & Pavon (1794). original description mentioned that the stamens bend outward elastically at anthesis. Nevertheless it was placed in the “Artocarpeae” (cf. Endlicher 1836-1840; Trecul 1847), whereas it should have been placed in the “Moreae” on ac- of of count the characters the stamens which were rather exclusively used for separating the two taxa. Remarkably Trecul (1847) in his careful study on the “Artocarpeae” disregarded the (described) features of the stamens.
