Abstract As the fi rst step towards the ecological restoration of its islands, Mexico has completed 60 eradications of invasive mammals thanks to a strong partnership between Grupo de Ecología y Conservación de Islas, A.C. (GECI), the federal government, local fi shing communities, academia, and private donors. The removal of invasive mammals has led to the dramatic recovery of the islands’ ecosystems. On Guadalupe Island, after completing the goat eradication in 2007, the native vegetation started to recover. Plants considered extinct or extirpated have been rediscovered, and plant species new to the island have been recorded.

Watson, Family Arecaceae, Growing in Egypt Doaa A. Abdel Rheem1, Hossam M. Hassan2*, Sayed A. Ahmed1*and Ahmed H. Elghandour1 1 Department of Organic Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Beni-Suef University, Beni- Seuf, 62514, Egypt. 2 Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Beni-Suef University, Beni-Suef, 62514, Egypt. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The present study was carried out to characterize the lipoidal matter of different organs (leaves, pollen gains and fruits) of Brahea armata – S. Watson and to evaluate their nutritive and amino acid composition. Saponification of petroleum ether extract of the leaves, pollen grains and fruits yielded 57.6%, 39.5% and 2.9% for the unsaponifiable matters and 32.54 %, 2.38% and 65.1% for the fatty acids, respectively. The total identified unsaturated fatty acids ranged from 7.87% to 83.61% in the three investigated organs, being most prominent in the fruits saponifiable matter, while the total saturated fatty acids ranged from 16.39% to 92.13%, in which the leaves saponifiable matter is the richest. The pharmacopoeial constants of the pollen grains and fruits showed higher ratio of total protein (8.6%), crude fat (1.3%), ash (8.72%) and moisture (49.64%) in pollens than those of fruits (5.5%), (0.93%), (4.2%) and (5.88%), respectively. But, the other parameter, total carbohydrate is higher in fruits (83.49%) than in pollens (32.36%).

    Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad 81: 27- 38, 2010 Tree and tree-like species of Mexico: gymnosperms, monocotyledons, and tree ferns Especies arbóreas y arborescentes de México: gimnospermas, monocotiledóneas y helechos arborescentes Martin Ricker* and Héctor M. Hernández Herbario Nacional de México, Departamento de Botánica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Apartado postal 70- 233, Ciudad Universitaria, 04510 México D. F., Mexico. *Correspondent: [email protected] Abstract. Trees or tree-like plants are defi ned here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants with an adult height of at least 5 m (without ascending leaves or infl orescences), and with 1 or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. We present an updated list of all Mexican tree species under that defi nition in the Gymnospermae (86 species, 38% endemic to Mexico), Monocotyledonae (75 species, 55% endemic), and Pteridophyta (9 species, none endemic). The list contains a total of 170 species in 37 genera and 12 families, with 74 species (44%) being endemic to Mexico. The list was compiled consulting recent literature, the National Herbarium of Mexico (MEXU), and taxonomic specialists. Key words: biodiversity, fl ora, tree defi nition. Resumen. Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se defi nen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura del adulto de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o infl orescencias ascendentes), y con 1 o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm. Presentamos aquí una lista actualizada bajo esta defi nición de todas las especies arbóreas mexicanas que pertenecen a las Gymnospermae (86 especies, 38% endémicas de México), Monocotyledonae (75 especies, 55% endémicas), y Pteridophyta (9 especies, ninguna endémica).
