Picconia Excelsa (Oleaceae)
situation on scoria (e.g. Rangitoto) and perhaps there for the same reasons (excellent drainage? aeration of roots?). Other matters of interest and/or concern were the site of the old native plant plantation and the tragic devastation wrought by possums on the pohutukawas. All our thanks to the leader and the organisers. Received 5 July 1989. PICCONIA EXCELSA (OLEACEAE) R.O. Gardner The current Auckland City Council Proposed District Scheme lists two Picconia excelsa trees in Remuera at St Kentigern School and at 115 Victoria Avenue that are to be protected for their botanical (rarity) value. This species the Canary Islands olive is not mentioned in most horticultural works. It forms a tree of medium size heavy in foliage with the rough bark and crooked branching typical of its family. Sterile specimens have a deceptive likeness to those of Nestegis spp. even having a waxy bloom on the petioles — (like N. cunninghamii but not N. apetala) (Johnson 1957). The older AK material was first determined by Dr Peter Green of Kew. There are several other individuals in Auckland like the above of good size but almost certainly less than a hundred years old. There are trees at 2 Woodside Ave Mt Eden at 277 Mt Eden Rd and on a farmhouse drive in Ihumatao Rd; there is a AK specimen from the Wilson Home in Takapuna and until recently there was a tree in the crater of Mt St John. Perhaps the importation of Picconia might be the result of a nurserymans recognizing that Canary Islands species should flourish in what is literally the opposite side of the world. -

Potential Natural Vegetation and Pre-Anthropic Pollen Records on the Azores
1 Potential natural vegetation and pre-anthropic pollen records on the Azores Islands in a Macaronesian context Valentí Rull1*, Simon E. Connor2,3 & Rui B. Elias4 1Institute of Earth Sciences Jaume Almera (ICTJA-CSIC), 08028 Barcelona, Spain 2School of Geography, University of Melbourne, VIC-3010, Australia 3CIMA-FCT, Universidade do Algarve, Faro 8005-139, Portugal 4Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Change (CE3C), Universidade dos Açores, Angra do Heroísmo (Açores), Portugal *Corresponding author: Email [email protected] 2 Abstract This paper discusses the concept of potential natural vegetation (PNV) in light of the pollen records available to date for the Macaronesian biogeographical region, with emphasis on the Azores Islands. The classical debate on the convenience or not of the PNV concept has been recently revived in the Canary Islands, where pollen records of pre-anthropic vegetation seemed to strongly disagree with the existing PNV reconstructions. Contrastingly, more recent PNV model outputs from the Azores Islands show outstanding parallelisms with pre-anthropic pollen records, at least in qualitative terms. We suggest the development of more detailed quantitative studies to compare these methodologies as an opportunity for improving the performance of both. PNV modelling may benefit by incorporating empirical data on past vegetation useful for calibration and validation purposes, whereas palynology may improve past reconstructions by minimizing interpretative biases linked to differential pollen production, dispersal and preservation. Keywords: Azores Islands, Canary Islands, Macaronesia, palaeoecology, palynology, potential natural vegetation, pre-anthropic vegetation 3 The idea of potential natural vegetation (PNV) –i.e., the vegetation that would be expected to occur according to the environmental features (notably climate and geology) of a particular area, in the absence of human disturbance or major natural catastrophes- has been the object of intense debate. -

Esta espécie foi referida pela primeira vez para as ilhas do Pico e S. Miguel por SEUBERT (1844), tendo sido então designado como Picconia excelsa DC. Foi então considerada igual à Picconia excelsa (Ait.) DC. da Madeira e Canárias, sendo mais tarde é revista por Tutin e aceite como uma nova entidade botânica para os Açores, com a denominação Picconia azorica (Tutin) Knobl., Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berlin 11: 1028 (1934) (PALHINHA, 1966). Na historia nomenclatural desta espécie existem ainda designações como Notelaea azorica Tut (TUTIN, 1933 in PALHINHA, 1966), bem com Notelaea excelsa Ait., Picconia excelsa auct. fl. azor. e Olea excelsa (PALHINHA, 1966). Em termos ecológicos é caracterizada como preferindo habitat entre os 300 a 600 m (PALHINHA, 1966) com referências de FRANCO (1984) à sua existência a altitudes que rondam os 700 m. TUTIN (1964) refere que a P. azorica é uma espécie rara que ocupa o estrato arbóreo da Floresta de Louro. Embora existam alguns estudos pontuais acerca da sua ecologia, as preferências ambientais e altitudinais desta planta estão ainda por definir (SJÖGREN, 1973). Distribuição Açores: S. Maria, S.

Here we infer the historical range shifts of Laurus, a paradigmatic Group, Estacio´n Biolo´gica de Don˜ana, CSIC, tree of the Tethyan flora that has covered southern Eurasia since the Sevilla, Spain Oligo-Miocene, by means of phylogenetic and phylogeographical analyses. Location Mediterranean Basin, Black Sea and Macaronesian archipelagos (Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands). Methods We analysed plastid DNA (cpDNA) sequence (trnK–matK, trnD–trnT) variation in 57 populations of Laurus and three Lauraceae genera. Phylogenetic methods (maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference) and statistical parsimony networks were used to reconstruct relationships among haplotypes. These results were contrasted with the fossil record and bioclimatic niche-based model predictions of past distributions to infer the migration routes and location of refugia. Results The phylogenetic tree revealed monophyly for Laurus. Overall sequence variability was low within Laurus, but six different haplotypes were distinguished and a single network retrieved, portraying three lineages primarily related to geography. -

REMERCIEMENTS Remerciements Mes premiers remerciements s'adressent à mon directeur de thèse GUILLAUME BESNARD. Tout d'abord, merci Guillaume de m'avoir proposé ce sujet de thèse sur la famille des Oleaceae. Merci pour ton enthousiasme et ta passion pour la recherche qui m'ont véritablement portée pendant ces trois années. C'était un vrai plaisir de travailler à tes côtés. Moi qui étais focalisée sur les systèmes de reproduction chez les plantes, tu m'as ouvert à un nouveau domaine de la recherche tout aussi intéressant qui est l'évolution moléculaire (même si je suis loin de maîtriser tous les concepts...). Tu as toujours été bienveillant et à l'écoute, je t'en remercie. Je te remercie d'avoir été aussi présent et de m'avoir épaulée lorsque j'en avais besoin. J'ai aussi beaucoup apprécié ta rigueur scientifique. Je te remercie pour ton investissement en termes de temps et d'énergie et pour tes retours constructifs lors de l'écriture des papiers ou du manuscrit. Merci de m'avoir fait confiance. Je te remercie de m'avoir donné la possibilité de faire des expérimentions à Montpellier lors de ma première année de thèse et de m'avoir permis de travailler sur d'autres projets tels que celui des acacias et des aulnes. Merci également de m'avoir fait partager les petits moments de bonheur/malheur et les aléas de la vie de chercheur, quasi quotidiennement (sûrement parfois au grand désespoir de mes chers collègues de bureau). Et puis, une thèse, c'est aussi la rencontre entre un doctorant et un directeur de thèse, c'est la rencontre de deux personnes et c'est la rencontre de deux caractères.
