Caranday Wax Palm copernicia alba The slow growing Caranday, or Wax Palm is an often overlooked member of the Copernicia family that can make a high impact both indoors and outdoors. The Wax Palm gets its name from the wax its leaves produce, which is commonly used in the cosmetics and automotive industries. The Caranday Wax Palm has a tough, cylindrical trunk that retains the spiky bases of old leaves for several years when the palm is young. These tough spines fall o as the palm matures, revealing a smooth bark. The foliage grows directly from the top of the trunk, forming a cascading fountain shape over time. The Caranday Wax Palm flowers in the fall, with miniscule white flowers. Wich produce round, yellow fruits that blacken as they ripen. These are edible, but are known to have a strong bitter taste after an initial sweetness. This palm is gaining popularity due to its exceptional cold tolerance, relative ease of maintenance, and resistance to pest and disease. Use it as a standalone focal point or in groupings of 2-3 for a standout specimen.

We propose a method for seed shape quantification based on the comparison of the bi-dimensional images of the seeds with geometric figures. J index is the percent of similarity of a seed image with a figure taken as a model. Models in shape quantification include geometrical figures (circle, ellipse, oval ::: ) and their derivatives, as well as other figures obtained as geometric representations of algebraic equations. The analysis is based on three sources: Published work, images available on the Internet, and seeds collected or stored in our collections. Some of the models here described are applied for the first time in seed morphology, like the superellipses, a group of bidimensional figures that represent well seed shape in species of the Calamoideae and Phoenix canariensis Hort. ex Chabaud.

This study aimed to evaluate the uses, management, and perception of the species by local extractors. Methods: Two communities were studied, Bem Quer, where 15 extractors of carnaúba leaves were interviewed, and Cana, where 21 extractors considered specialists were interviewed, totaling a sample of 36 interviewees. Interviewees were asked questions about uses, ways of handling, and perception of morphological variation in the carnaúba leaves. The number of leaves extracted and the income obtained from the sale of leaves were estimated from interviews and notes that each leader of extractors held during the year of the research and previous years, as well as direct observations made by researchers in the communities which recollection area of straw hold about 80 thousand individuals of C. prunifera. A regression analysis was used to explore the relationships between social variables (age, time in extractive activity, and income obtained from extraction) with the number of leaves exploited.

IMPREGNACIÓN DE PALMA (Copernicia alba, Morong) CON TANINO Primera parte. Sosa Pinilla, Carmen del Rosario1; Castillo, Graciela María; D´ Augero, Griselda Sabina; Noguera, Graciela2; 1 Ingeniera Forestal. [email protected] 2 Alumna de la carrera Ingeniería Forestal. Te/Fax: (54-9) 3717452449. Avda. Gdor. Gutnisky 3200. (3600) Formosa. Argentina. F.R.N. SECyT. Universidad Nacional de Formosa. RESUMEN La palma caranday (Copernicia alba, Morong), como todo material biológico de crecimiento primario, posee una gran variabilidad de sus propiedades en función al contenido de humedad, siendo una limitante que se asocia al ataque de patógenos (Siri, M. 2004). La impregnación con productos adecuados es uno de los procesos aplicados para aumentar la durabilidad natural de las maderas. Optimizando este proceso a través de la experimentación en laboratorio, se pretende obtener resultados reproducibles a escala industrial y comercial. Se ensayan 2 métodos de preservación: Sin Presión: baño caliente –frío y con presión: célula llena, utilizando como agente biocida, extracto de tanino vegetal, en diferentes concentraciones y tiempos de aplicación. Los resultados preliminares correspondientes al método sin presión e indican a la estípite de la especie Copernicia alba, Morong, como un material de fácil impregnación, lográndose valores de retención media de 28 kg/m3 para concentración al 5% del producto, y 44 kg/m3 para concentraciones del 10 % y 15% . INTRODUCCIÓN: La situación actual de los recursos forestales de la provincia de Formosa y de la región chaqueña de sur América genera la necesidad de ampliar el aprovechamiento de los mismos buscando especies alternativas, que por su presencia y volumen son interesantes para el desarrollo tecnológico de los recursos forestales.

The South American continent has become one of the largest centers of richness and diversity of the Arecaceae family. The palms are characterized by the presence of opal phytoliths, called stegmatas, with particular characteristics that identify many of the members of this family. The aim of this paper is to describe the phytolith assemblages of the palm species and search the diagnostic power through a biometric analysis performed to globular phytoliths. The results stated that the analysis of leaf phytolith assemblages shows variations that distinguish the different subfamilies selected. This raises its importance in the interpretation of fossil phytolith assemblages and palaeobotanical recognition of the members of this family by palaeoenvironmental study of sedimentary sequences. Key Words: Biometric analysis, Phytoliths, Stegmatas. Resumen: El continente sudamericano aparece como uno de los mayores centros de riqueza y diversidad de la familia Arecaceae. Las palmeras se caracterizan por la presencia de fitolitos de naturaleza silícea denominados stegmatas, los mismos presentan características particulares que permiten identificar a gran parte de los miembros de esta familia. El objetivo del presente trabajo es, describir las asociaciones fitolíticas de especies de palmeras y buscar el valor diagnóstico de las mismas a través de un análisis biométrico, a través de los fitolitos globulares.

Threatened Birds of the Americas
CROWNED EAGLE Harpyhaliaetus coronatus V9 This open-country raptor has been recorded over a large area of central and southern South America, but at such low densities that concrete evidence on its population status is lacking, as are good data on ecology and threats; it requires much study. DISTRIBUTION The Crowned Eagle occurs in the lowlands of south-central South America: Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay (Alvarez 1933, Hellmayr and Conover 1949, Barattini and Escalante 1958, Meyer de Schauensee 1982, Sibley and Monroe 1990; see Remarks 1).

ABSTRACT We assessed the spatial distribution of Copernicia alba Morong. In the study area, a lowland palm savanna floodplain, C. alba is the only overstory species. We hypothesized C. alba would be randomly distributed within natural stands. Palms were tallied in six randomly located 0.25 ha plots and analyzed using a first-order, Ripley’s K function to assess the distribution of juvenile, adult, and total palm populations. While the total population had either aggregated or ran- dom distributions, when analyzing juvenile and adult population separately, we found juveniles were consistently more aggregated than the adults. Keywords: Ripley’s K-Function; First Order Analysis; Floodplain; Fire; Chaco; Monotypic Stands; Disturbance Ecology; Population Dynamics 1. Introduction ture have also been explored as variables [22,26,27] spe- cific to the plant rather than its environment and can be The spatial distribution of plant species is considered an scale dependent [11].
