The palms play an important role in Cuba's landscape and vegetation and in the everyday life of Cuban people, who have multiple uses for these plants (Muñiz & Borhidi 1982). The goal of this study is to up-date the list of Roystonea (Zona 1996), Sabal (Zona 1990) and Cuban palms given by León (1946), taking into Thrinax (Read 1975), as well as the revision of consideration the revisions of several palm Bactris for the Caribbean (Salzman & Judd 1995). genera from the new world and the new species The most recent additions to the list of palms reported for Cuba. This new checklist will allow from Cuba by Moya et al. (1991), Zona (1992) future publications to use the correct and Borhidi and Hernández (1993) were also nomenclature. included. In preparing this checklist, we reviewed the The family Palmae in Cuba is represented by 15 following lists of Cuban species: Grisebach (1866), genera, two subgenera and 81 species, six hybrids Sauvalle (1868), Beccari (1912, 1913), Dahlgren and nine infraspecific taxa for a total of 96 (1936), León (1946), Alain (1969), Muñiz and indigenous palms (Table 1). Of these, 83 taxa Borhidi (1982), Borhidi and Muñiz (1985) and (87%) are endemic, i.e., found only in Cuba. The Henderson et al. (1995). The nomenclature from percentage of endemics is high, one of the highest these lists was up-dated according to the modern for Cuban plant families. One genus (Gastrococos) revisions of neotropical genera: Calyptronoma and two subgenera (Coperniciasubg. Coperniciopsis (Zona 1995), Gastrococos (Moore 1967), Gaussia and Thrinax subg.

The Hemithrinax compacta (Griseb. & H.

Likewise, Hemithrinax ekmaniana Burret Acrocomia subinermis León ex Bailey, is omitted. Thrinax morrisii H. Wendl. This palm was described from along the road from Thrinax drudei La Cruz de Piedra to Guatao, Havana. We have Becc. found that only Gastrococos crispa occurs in this Thrinax microcarpa Sarg. area. It seems likely that Acrocomia subinermis was Thrinax punctulata Becc. based on an adult specimen of Gastrococos crispa Thrinax radiata Lodd. ex Schult. & Schult f. with an unarmed trunk. Elaeis guineensis Jacq. is Thrinax parvifloraSw. excluded; it was cultivated in Baracoa and erroneously considered naturalized in that region. Thrinax wendlandiana Becc. Hemithrinax, formerly treated at the generic rank, Thrinax rivularis (León) Borhidi & Muñiz var. is now considered to be a subgenus of Thrinax rivularis (Borhidi & Muñiz 1985). Hemithrinax rivularis León In current literature, Coccothrinax miraguama has Hemithrinax rivularis (León) Borhidi & Muñiz var. rivularis been cited as described by León. However, León onLy amplified and completed the original Thrinax rivularis (León) Borhidi & Muñiz var. savannarum Borhidi & Muñiz description made by Beccari. Hemithrinax savannarum León Sorne modern authors have considered the list of Hemithrinax rivularis (León) Borhidi & Muñiz Cuban palm species by Henderson et al. (1995) as var. savannarum Muñiz definitive.However, Henderson et al. stated clearly 11 COCCOTHRINAX Sargent that ••• this Guide is not a taxonomic treatment, but a field guide for nonspecialists. For this reason Coccothrinax acunana León we have tended to combine closely related and Coccothrinax alexandri León ssp. alexandri doubtfully distinct species and also groups of León species that we consider to be part of species Coccothrinax alexandri León ssp. nítida (León) complexes." Hence, our list differs significantly Borhidi & Muñiz from the list of Henderson et al. (1995). C. alexandri León var. nítida León There are still pressing taxonomic problems in Coccothrinax baracoensis Borhidí & Muñiz Cuban palms. There is an urgent need for modern Coccothrinax bermudezii León taxonomic revisions of Coccothrinax, Copernicia Coccothrinax borhidiana Muñiz (Fig. 2) and Acrocomia, as well as detailed evolutionary Coccothrinax brevicrinis Borhidi & Muñiz genetic studies of hybrids and disjunct taxa.

  • Keel, S. 2005. Caribbean Ecoregional Assessment Cuba Terrestrial
    CARIBBEAN ECOREGIONAL ASSESSMENT Cuba Terrestrial Report July 8, 2005 Shirley Keel INTRODUCTION Physical Features Cuba is the largest country in the Caribbean, with a total area of 110,922 km2. The Cuba archipelago consists of the main island (105,007 km2), Isla de Pinos (2,200 km2), and more than one thousand cays (3,715 km2). Cuba’s main island, oriented in a NW-SE direction, has a varied orography. In the NW the major mountain range is the Guaniguanico Massif stretching from west to east with two mountain chains of distinct geological ages and composition—Sierra de los Organos of ancient Jurassic limestone deposited on slaty sandstone, and Sierra del Rosario, younger and highly varied in geological structure. Towards the east lie the low Hills of Habana- Matanzas and the Hills of Bejucal-Madruga-Limonar. In the central part along the east coast are several low hills—from north to south the Mogotes of Caguaguas, Loma Cunagua, the ancient karstic range of Sierra de Cubitas, and the Maniabón Group; while along the west coast rises the Guamuhaya Massif (Sierra de Escambray range) and low lying Sierra de Najasa. In the SE, Sierra Maestra and the Sagua-Baracoa Massif form continuous mountain ranges. The high ranges of Sierra Maestra stretch from west to east with the island’s highest peak, Pico Real (Turquino Group), reaching 1,974 m. The complex mountain system of Sagua-Baracoa consists of several serpentine mountains in the north and plateau-like limestone mountains in the south. Low limestone hills, Sierra de Casas and Sierra de Caballos are situated in the northeastern part of Isla de Pinos (Borhidi, 1991).

  • Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
    SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Contributions from the United States National Herbarium Volume 52: 1-415 Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands Editors Pedro Acevedo-Rodríguez and Mark T. Strong Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History Washington, DC 2005 ABSTRACT Acevedo-Rodríguez, Pedro and Mark T. Strong. Monocots and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Contributions from the United States National Herbarium, volume 52: 415 pages (including 65 figures). The present treatment constitutes an updated revision for the monocotyledon and gymnosperm flora (excluding Orchidaceae and Poaceae) for the biogeographical region of Puerto Rico (including all islets and islands) and the Virgin Islands. With this contribution, we fill the last major gap in the flora of this region, since the dicotyledons have been previously revised. This volume recognizes 33 families, 118 genera, and 349 species of Monocots (excluding the Orchidaceae and Poaceae) and three families, three genera, and six species of gymnosperms. The Poaceae with an estimated 89 genera and 265 species, will be published in a separate volume at a later date. When Ackerman’s (1995) treatment of orchids (65 genera and 145 species) and the Poaceae are added to our account of monocots, the new total rises to 35 families, 272 genera and 759 species. The differences in number from Britton’s and Wilson’s (1926) treatment is attributed to changes in families, generic and species concepts, recent introductions, naturalization of introduced species and cultivars, exclusion of cultivated plants, misdeterminations, and discoveries of new taxa or new distributional records during the last seven decades.

  • Woody Plant Species Used in Urban Forestry in West Africa: Case Study in Lomé, Capital Town of Togo
    Journal of Horticulture and Forestry Vol. 3(1) pp. 21-31, January 2011 Available online http://www.academicjournals.org/jhf ISSN 2006-9782 ©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Woody plant species used in urban forestry in West Africa: Case study in Lomé, capital town of Togo Radji Raoufou*, Kokou Kouami and Akpagana Koffi Laboratory of Plant Biology and Ecology, BP 1515 Lomé - Togo. Accepted 23 November, 2010 Many studies have been conducted on the flora of Togo. However, none of them is devoted to the ornamental flora horticulture. This survey aims to establish an inventory of the woody plant species in urban forests of Lomé, the capital town of Togo. It covers the trees planted along the avenues, in the gardens, courtyards, shady trees and trees used as fences for houses or trees at the seaside. In total, 297 plant species belong to 141 genera and 48 families were recorded. They are dominated by 79% of dicotyledonous, 13% of monocotyledonous and 8% of gymnosperms. Families that are best represented in terms of species are those of the Euphorbiaceae, Arecaceae and Acanthaceae. Alien species represent 69% and African species represent 31% out of which 6% are from Togo. According to the current threatening of the natural habitat by human activities, African native plant species could be more useful for ornamental purposes than exotic plants. Key words: Ornamental horticulture, plant flora, green areas, valorisation, native flora. INTRODUCTION Urban forestry refers to trees and forests located in cities, landscape covered with trees for the physical and mental including ornamental and grown trees, street and health has been documented (Ulrich, 1984).

  • Copernicia Baileyana and Copernicia Fallaensis in PALM BEACH COUNTY
    GROWING Copernicia baileyana and Copernicia fallaensis IN PALM BEACH COUNTY Submitted by Charlie Beck I’ve been waiting to showcase these magnificent Cuban palms in our newsletter until I understood the differences between these giants. We have eleven of these palms growing in our garden, most of which are 21 years old. It wasn’t until my trip to Cuba where I spoke to Raul Verdecia, the recognized expert on Cuban palms, that I started to learn the differences between these two palm species. Raul is expected to publish a scientific revision to the Genus Copernicia in years to come. I am told that DNA analysis must be completed prior to publishing this revision. Keep in mind that these two species were lumped together in the 1995 publication, Field Guide to the Palms of the Americas. This publication was never accepted as a scientific revision to the Genus. The authors stated that more study was required for proper classification. The latest monograph of Copernicia was published in October 1963 and this is still considered current nomenclature except C. fallaense described is now named C. fallaensis. This name change was due to confusion centered on the original name as described by Leon in 1931. Aside from differences in flowering structures, Raul Verdecia stated four recognizable differences between C. baileyana and C. fallaensis: 1. The overall scale of C. fallaensis is larger than C. baileyana (larger stem girth and height, longer leaves and petioles). 2. The leaf color of C. fallaensis is always silver or grey whereas C. baileyana may be silver or green.

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.
