The complex of Uapaca kirkiana is revised in the northwest of the Zambezian region (Angola, D. R. Congo, Zambia) based on herbarium taxonomy. Five taxa are recognised, i.e. Uapaca kirkiana Müll. Arg. var. kirkiana, U. kirkiana var. gossweileri (Hutch.) Meerts, U. kirkiana var. benguelensis (Müll. Arg.) Meerts, U. teusczii Pax f. teusczii and U. teusczii f. pilosa (P. A.Duvign.) Meerts. A determination key is provided. Specimens lacking curly hairs on leaves have long been misinterpreted or overlooked. The name Uapaca teusczii Pax is resuscitated to accommodate such specimens. New diagnostic characters of U. teusczii are highlighted including a glabrous ovary, anthers with ciliate connectives and the pubescent calyx of female flowers. U. teusczii is a characteristic species of the wet miombo, widespread in Katanga and Kwango (D. R. Congo), extending locally to Angola and N Zambia. A lectotype is selected for U. albida, U. homblei, U. kirkiana var. benguelensis, U. kirkiana var. gossweileri, and U. teusczii f. pilosa; second-step lectotypification is provided for U. munamensis. Key Words. Angola, edible fruit, D. R. Congo, miombo, taxonomy, dry tropical woodland, Zambia. Introduction The genus Uapaca Baill. (Baillon 1858) (Phyllanthaceae, Antidesmatoideae) comprises dioecious trees and shrubs, widespread in forests of tropical Africa and Madagascar. Uapaca species are amongst the most typical components of the shrub layer of dry tropical woodlands and savannahs in the Zambezian region (Werger & Coetzee 1978; White 1983). Uapaca kirkiana Müll. Arg., the most widespread species in that region, is well known for its edible, much sought fruits locally known as “masuku” (Akinnifesi et al. 2006; Ngulube et al. 1996). Domestication of Uapaca kirkiana has been successfully attempted, and breeding programs 3 are being developed (Ngulube et al. 1996; Akinnifesi et al. 2006; Mwase et al. 2015). In this context, improving the taxonomic knowledge of the species and its relatives is essential. Müller Argoviensis (1864a,b) described two species to accommodate specimens of Uapaca with foliar indumentum consisting of curly, interlacing hairs i.e. Uapaca kirkiana Müll. Arg. and U. benguelensis Müll. Arg. The former name is based on a type from Malawi and the latter, published a few days later, is based on a type from Angola. Ever since, the taxonomy and nomenclature of that complex have been confusing. Pax (1904) accepted both species, but did not indicate discriminant characters, the two species being separated based on geographical distribution. Hutchinson (1912a) pointed out that the original material on which the name U. benguelensis is based, i.e. Welwitsch 453, was heterogeneous, comprising two distinct taxa, i.e. one with petiolate leaves and the other one with sessile leaves. He described the latter as a new species, U. gossweileri Hutch., thus implicitly restricting U. benguelensis to petiolate forms. All three species (U. kirkiana, U. benguelensis, U. gossweileri) were accepted by Hutchinson (1912b) and Pax & Hoffmann (1922). The latter work distinguished U. kirkiana from U. benguelensis based on the lower number of secondary veins and the subsessile inflorescence of the latter. De Wildeman (1936) recognised several other taxa supposedly endemic to D. R. Congo in this complex, which were later synonymised with U. kirkiana or U. benguelensis by Duvigneaud (1949). In his revision of the genus for Katanga (D. R. Congo), Duvigneaud (1949) considerably extended the circumscription of U. benguelensis, to include forms with glabrous leaves and forms with straight hairs. Having re- examined alleged differences between U. benguelensis and U. kirkiana, Radcliffe-Smith (1993) concluded that there was considerable overlap between them and, accordingly, he synonymised both names under U. kirkiana. However, in his subsequent treatment of the genus Uapaca in Flora Zambesiaca, Radcliffe-Smith (1996) admitted that the question was not settled yet and that there might actually be two distinct species. The African Plant 4 Database (consulted in Aug. 2018) treats U. benguelensis as a synonym of U. gossweileri (which is certainly incorrect from a nomenclatural point of view), and U. benguelensis var. pedunculata as a synonym of U. kirkiana. The Plant List (http://www.theplantlist.org), in contrast, accepts U. benguelensis as a distinct taxon. The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/qsearch.do?plantName=Uapaca&page=quickSearch) also recognises U. benguelensis, U. gossweileri, U. kirkiana at species level. We here revise the taxonomy of this group, considering material from Angola, D. R. Congo and Zambia, the region which concentrates most of the variation in the complex. Five taxa are recognized, and four new combinations are proposed. Materials and methods We have revised the material from D. R. Congo, Angola and Zambia kept in the following herbaria: BM, BR, BRLU, COI, K, LSHI, LISC, LISU, P, POZG, WAG. The following characters, used in previous taxonomic treatments, were recorded: twig thickness and pubescence; leaves: petiole length, lamina length and width, shape of lamina base and apex, indumentum (curly vs. straight hairs; density), number of secondary veins; inflorescence: position respective to leaves; length of male and female peduncle, length of bracts; fruits: peduncle length and diameter, fruit diameter, indumentum, length and width of pyrenes. For the sake of simplicity, male and female inflorescences are hereafter referred to as “flowers”. For D. R. Congo, the specimens are grouped according to the phytogeographic divisions of Robyns (1948). Within each country, provinces or regions are cited in alphabetic order. 5 Key to the taxa of the Uapaca kirkiana complex in NW of the Zambezian region 1.

  • Tapia Woodlands of Highland Madagascar: Rural Economy, Fire Ecology, and Forest Conservation
    The 'degraded' tapia woodlands of highland Madagascar: rural economy, fire ecology, and forest conservation Christian A. Kull This is an author-archived version of the following paper: Kull 2002. The 'degraded' tapia woodlands of highland Madagascar: rural economy, fire ecology, and forest conservation. Journal of Cultural Geography 19 (2): 95-128. The final definitive version is available from Taylor and Francis (www.tandfonline.com) Direct link: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08873630209478290 Abstract Madagascar is well-known for deforestation. However, highland "tapia" (Uapaca bojeri) woodlands may present a counter-example of indigenous management leading to woodland conservation. Contrary to common wisdom that these woodlands are degraded, tapia woodland extent and composition have seen little change this century. Tapia woodlands harbor many benefits, including wild silkworms (whose cocoons have been harvested for centuries to weave expensive burial shrouds), fruit, woodfuel, mushrooms, edible insects, and herbal medicines. As a result, villagers shape and maintain the woodlands. Burning favors the dominance of pyrophitic tapia trees and protects silkworms from parasites. Selective cutting of non-tapia species and pruning of dead branches also favors tapia dominance and perhaps growth. Finally, local and state-imposed regulations protect the woodlands from over-exploitation. These processes -- burning, cutting, and protection -- are embedded in complex and dynamic social, political, economic, and ecological contexts which are integral to the tapia woodlands as they exist today. As a result, I argue on a normative level that the creation and maintenance of the woodlands should not be seen as “degradation,” rather as a creative “transformation.” INTRODUCTION Few endemic forests exist in highland Madagascar, a region dominated by vast grasslands, rice paddies, dryland cropfields, and pine or eucalyptus woodlots.

  • Inventário Florestal Nacional, Guia De Campo Para Recolha De Dados
    Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais de Angola Inventário Florestal Nacional Guia de campo para recolha de dados . NFMA Working Paper No 41/P– Rome, Luanda 2009 Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais As florestas são essenciais para o bem-estar da humanidade. Constitui as fundações para a vida sobre a terra através de funções ecológicas, a regulação do clima e recursos hídricos e servem como habitat para plantas e animais. As florestas também fornecem uma vasta gama de bens essenciais, tais como madeira, comida, forragem, medicamentos e também, oportunidades para lazer, renovação espiritual e outros serviços. Hoje em dia, as florestas sofrem pressões devido ao aumento de procura de produtos e serviços com base na terra, o que resulta frequentemente na degradação ou transformação da floresta em formas insustentáveis de utilização da terra. Quando as florestas são perdidas ou severamente degradadas. A sua capacidade de funcionar como reguladores do ambiente também se perde. O resultado é o aumento de perigo de inundações e erosão, a redução na fertilidade do solo e o desaparecimento de plantas e animais. Como resultado, o fornecimento sustentável de bens e serviços das florestas é posto em perigo. Como resposta do aumento de procura de informações fiáveis sobre os recursos de florestas e árvores tanto ao nível nacional como Internacional l, a FAO iniciou uma actividade para dar apoio à monitorização e avaliação de recursos florestais nationais (MANF). O apoio à MANF inclui uma abordagem harmonizada da MANF, a gestão de informação, sistemas de notificação de dados e o apoio à análise do impacto das políticas no processo nacional de tomada de decisão.
