  • Complete Index of Common Names: Supplement to Tropical Timbers of the World (AH 607)
    Complete Index of Common Names: Supplement to Tropical Timbers of the World (AH 607) by Nancy Ross Preface Since it was published in 1984, Tropical Timbers of the World has proven to be an extremely valuable reference to the properties and uses of tropical woods. It has been particularly valuable for the selection of species for specific products and as a reference for properties information that is important to effective pro- cessing and utilization of several hundred of the most commercially important tropical wood timbers. If a user of the book has only a common or trade name for a species and wishes to know its properties, the user must use the index of common names beginning on page 451. However, most tropical timbers have numerous common or trade names, depending upon the major region or local area of growth; furthermore, different species may be know by the same common name. Herein lies a minor weakness in Tropical Timbers of the World. The index generally contains only the one or two most frequently used common or trade names. If the common name known to the user is not one of those listed in the index, finding the species in the text is impossible other than by searching the book page by page. This process is too laborious to be practical because some species have 20 or more common names. This supplement provides a complete index of common or trade names. This index will prevent a user from erroneously concluding that the book does not contain a specific species because the common name known to the user does not happen to be in the existing index.

  • (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae) from Península De Osa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
    A NEW LEPANTHES (ORCHIDACEAE: PLEUROTHALLIDINAE) FROM PENÍNSULA DE OSA, PUNTARENAS, COSTA RICA ISLER F. CHINCHILLA,1–3 REINALDO AGUILAR,4 AND DIEGO BOGARÍN1,5,6 Abstract. Lepanthes is one of the most species-rich genera of orchids in the Neotropics, with most of the species found in medium to high elevation forests and few species in lowlands. We describe and illustrate Lepanthes osaensis, a new species from the very wet lowland forest of Península de Osa, Costa Rica. It is similar to Lepanthes cuspidata but differs mostly in the vinous leaves; smaller sepals; the narrower, bilobed petals; and the smaller lip with triangular blades. Notes on its distribution, habitat, flowering, and conservation status, as well as discussion of a taxon with similar morphology, are provided. Keywords: Lepanthes cuspidata, orchid endemism, Pleurothallidinae taxonomy, twig epiphytes, very wet lowland forest Lepanthes Sw. is one of the most species-rich genera of Jiménez and Grayum, 2002; Bogarín and Pupulin, 2007; Pleurothallidinae (Orchidaceae), with over 1200 species Rakosy et al., 2013) and the continued long-term fieldwork from southern Mexico and the Antilles to Bolivia and by the second author (RA). A possible explanation is the northern Brazil (Pridgeon, 2005; Luer and Thoerle, 2012; marked seasonality between dry and wet seasons from Vieira-Uribe and Moreno, 2019; Bogarín et al., 2020). the north toward the central Pacific, contrasting with Lepanthes comprises plants with ramicauls enclosed by the prevailing wet conditions in the Caribbean throughout several infundibular sheaths, named “lepanthiform sheaths,” the year (Kohlmann et al., 2002). The most suitable areas racemose inflorescences of successive flowers, subsimilar, for lowland Lepanthes in the Pacific are the tropical wet glabrous sepals, petals wider than long, frequently bilobed forests from Carara in the central Pacific to Península with divergent lobes, the lip usually trilobed with the lateral de Osa and Burica.

Dit afstudeerwerkstuk is een onderzoek naar de commerciële context van de souarinoot (Caryocar nuciferum), een Non- Timber Forest Product (NTFP) uit Suriname om na te gaan of er export naar Nederland mogelijk is en nodigt iedereen die hierin geïnteresseerd is uit, meer te weten te komen over dit relatief onbekende plantaardige product. Mijn dank gaat aan Tinde van Andel, voor de kans die zij mij gaf, gedurende mijn bedrijfsopdracht te groeien in ervaring en kennis in de economische botanie. Daarnaast wil ik Roos van Maanen, Linda Nol en Wieneke van der Heide bedanken voor hun ondersteuning en begeleiding gedurende de afstudeerfase en ben ik dankbaar voor de vriendelijkheid van de mensen die hebben bijgedragen aan de voortgang van mijn studie, zoals andere docenten, stagebegeleiders, collega’s, vrienden en familie.

  • Península De Osa. 3
    EVALUACIÓN DE LOS PLANES DE MANEJO FORESTAL AUTORIZADOS EN EL PERÍODO 1997-1999 EN LA PENINSULA DE OSA. CUMPLIMIENTO DE NORMAS TÉCNICAS, AMBIENTALES E IMPACTO SOBRE EL BOSQUE NATURAL. INFORME para FUNDACION CECROPIA Informe elaborado por: Gilbert Barrantes, Quírico Jiménez, Jorge Lobo, Tirso Maldonado, Mauricio Quesada & Ruperto Quesada Julio 1999 1 1. Introducción En la Península de Osa se encuentra el último bosque lluvioso tropical de la costa Pacífica de América Central. Si bien esto se sabe desde hace algunas décadas y se ha repetido en cada informe técnico que se ha elaborado sobre la región, la pérdida de la cobertura boscosa continúa, ya sea en forma legal o ilegal. La vegetación de la Península de Osa posee una gran afinidad florística con los bosques suramericanos. Constituye en la actualidad una de las mejores representaciones boscosas con alta diversidad de árboles en Costa Rica. Quizá, la mayor estratificación vertical de un bosque se alcanza en la región, donde el estrato superior en sitios como Los Planes y San Pedrillo en el P.N. Corcovado, puede alcanzar hasta 60 m, con árboles emergentes que llegan hasta los 65 o 70 m de altura. Hasta la fecha se han herborizado 2.142 especies (21.4% del total de la flora del país); representadas en 916 géneros (42.7%) y 185 familias (72.8%). El componente arbóreo contiene 700 especies y se estima puede alcanzar unas 750 especies en total, ya que muchas con seguridad no han sido herborizadas (Quesada et al 1997).
