En Bolivia esta especie aparece sólo en bosques húmedos y sub-húmedos de tierras bajas, donde recibe el nombre de ojoso u hojoso. De acuerdo a informaciones de materos y campesinos, este denominativo se refiere al carácter siem- preverde de los árboles, mientras que otros lo atribuyen a los “ojos” que se observan en su madera cuando es aserra- da. El nombre de ojoso va acompañado, generalmente, del calificativo “colorado” que hace referencia al color rojo de sus frutos y al color marrón rojizo de su madera. La termi- nología común de ojoso colorado es utilizada en casi todo el departamento de Santa Cruz, especialmente en las zonas de Guarayos y El Choré. En el comercio internacional Pseudolmedia laevis es conocido con los nombres de che- rry-manax, mu iratinga y nuí. En Bolivia, esta especie no ha tenido relevancia en el en el contexto maderero, pues hasta ahora no cuenta con un mercado establecido y tan sólo es mencionada como una especie potencial en algunos bos- ques (R. Quevedo, com. pers.). No obstante, a partir del año 2000 algunas empresas madereras, cuyas concesiones cuen- tan con grandes densidades de ojoso colorado, están tratan- do de abrir un mercado apropiado para esta especie. 1 Ecología y Silvicultura de Especies Menos Conocidas Clasificación La especie fue descrita por primera vez, en 1798, por los botánicos Ruiz & Pavón como Olmedia laevis, cuya descripción es el basónimo (Spichiger et al., 1989). El bo- tánico J. F. MacBride en 1931 incluye a O. laevis en el gé- nero Pseudolmedia, dentro del cual se encuentra actual- mente. Algunos autores describieron otras especies, las cua- les resultaron ser sinónimos de Pseudolmedia laevis (véase el Cuadro 1). En la actualidad P. laevis está incluida en la tribu Olmedieae, la que pertenece a la familia Moraceae del Orden Urticales, ubicado dentro de la Subclase Hammame- lidae (Killeen et al., 1993). Cuadro 1. Lista de sinónimos de Pseudolmedia laevis (Ruiz & Pav.) J.F. MacBride de acuerdo a Berg (1972) y a la base de datos de la página electrónica del Jardín Botánico de Missouri (1999).

Karst.) Renner Pseudolmedia sagotii Benoist 2 Ecología y Silvicultura de Especies Menos Conocidas Sinónimos y Denominaciones Como todas las especies con amplia distribución geo- gráfica, P. laevis entraña problemas con sinónimos botáni- cos, debido a que su morfología de diferenciación es parti- cularmente regional y ninguna característica regional de la especie puede ser fácilmente definida (Berg, 1972). Por lo tanto, esta especie posee un gran número de sinónimos bo- tánicos y, por consiguiente, denominaciones comunes. De acuerdo a Berg (1972), P. laevis tiene alrededor de 12 si- nónimos botánicos (Cuadro 1), además recibe varios nom- bres comunes en los distintos países donde se encuentra. P. laevis es conocida comúnmente como vara piedra, leche perra y leche chiva en Colombia; charo macho en Venezuela; chimi, capulí silvestre, cabecita, vestre guión y avio en Ecuador; misho, chaqui, motelo chaqui, chimicua, chimicua colorada e itahuba en Perú; y en Brasil es gene- ralmente conocida como nuí, pamma o pama (Duke & Vásquez, 1994; INIA, 1996; www.mobot.org 30/08/2002). En Bolivia el denominativo común para P. laevis di- fiere bastante entre regiones, es así que en los departamen- tos de Santa Cruz, Beni, La Paz y Pando es conocida como ojoso colorado, palo nuí, nuí colorado, nuí y gomaliño; en Cochabamba y norte de Santa Cruz como palo pichi y nuí; además del nombre de pamma o pama en Pando, norte del Beni y La Paz (Killeen et al., 1993; Gonzáles, 1997; Sainz, 1997; Contreras & Mancilla, 2001; J. Justiniano, obs. pers.). 3 Ecología y Silvicultura de Especies Menos Conocidas Según Cornejo & Rebolledo (1993) y colecciones bo- tánicas de herbarios, en el norte y centro-este de Bolivia se reporta la coexistencia de entre dos y cuatro especies del género Pseudolmedia (Cuadro 2). Sin embargo, en las listas de inventarios forestales de la mayoría de las concesiones forestales de estas zonas generalmente se hace referencia a una especie, aunque se debe señalar que cada una de las cuatro especies de Pseudolmedia tiene nombres comunes distintos, como se observa en Cuadro 2.

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.

  • 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.

Received: 25 March 2016 Returned for revision: 1 August 2016 Editorial decision: 3 November 2016 Published electronically: 10 January 2017 Background and Aims The breadfruit genus (Artocarpus, Moraceae) includes valuable underutilized fruit tree crops with a centre of diversity in Southeast Asia. It belongs to the monophyletic tribe Artocarpeae, whose only other members include two small neotropical genera. This study aimed to reconstruct the phylogeny, estimate diver- gence dates and infer ancestral ranges of Artocarpeae, especially Artocarpus, to better understand spatial and tem- poral evolutionary relationships and dispersal patterns in a geologically complex region. Methods To investigate the phylogeny and biogeography of Artocarpeae, this study used Bayesian and maximum likelihood approaches to analyze DNA sequences from six plastid and two nuclear regions from 75% of Artocarpus species, both neotropical Artocarpeae genera, and members of all other Moraceae tribes.

  • Biodiversity in Forests of the Ancient Maya Lowlands and Genetic
    Biodiversity in Forests of the Ancient Maya Lowlands and Genetic Variation in a Dominant Tree, Manilkara zapota (Sapotaceae): Ecological and Anthropogenic Implications by Kim M. Thompson B.A. Thomas More College M.Ed. University of Cincinnati A Dissertation submitted to the University of Cincinnati, Department of Biological Sciences McMicken College of Arts and Sciences for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 25, 2013 Committee Chair: David L. Lentz ABSTRACT The overall goal of this study was to determine if there are associations between silviculture practices of the ancient Maya and the biodiversity of the modern forest. This was accomplished by conducting paleoethnobotanical, ecological and genetic investigations at reforested but historically urbanized ancient Maya ceremonial centers. The first part of our investigation was conducted at Tikal National Park, where we surveyed the tree community of the modern forest and recovered preserved plant remains from ancient Maya archaeological contexts. The second set of investigations focused on genetic variation and structure in Manilkara zapota (L.) P. Royen, one of the dominant trees in both the modern forest and the paleoethnobotanical remains at Tikal. We hypothesized that the dominant trees at Tikal would be positively correlated with the most abundant ancient plant remains recovered from the site and that these trees would have higher economic value for contemporary Maya cultures than trees that were not dominant. We identified 124 species of trees and vines in 43 families. Moderate levels of evenness (J=0.69-0.80) were observed among tree species with shared levels of dominance (1-D=0.94). From the paleoethnobotanical remains, we identified a total of 77 morphospecies of woods representing at least 31 plant families with 38 identified to the species level.
