E-mail: Abstract: The Rondônia Natural Resources Management Project (PLANAFLORO) was a strategic program developed in partnership between the Brazilian Government and The World Bank in 1992, with the purpose of stimulating the sustainable development and protection of the Amazon in the state of Rondônia. More than a decade after the PLANAFORO program concluded, the aim of the present work is to recover and share the information from the long-abandoned plant collections made during the project’s ecological-economic zoning phase. Most of the material analyzed was sterile, but the fertile voucher specimens recovered are listed here. The material examined represents 378 species in 234 genera and 76 families of angiosperms. Some 8 genera, 68 species, 3 subspecies and 1 variety are new records for Rondônia State. It is our intention that this information will stimulate future studies and contribute to a better understanding and more effective conservation of the plant diversity in the southwestern Amazon of Brazil. Introduction The PLANAFLORO Project funded botanical expeditions In early 1990, Brazilian Amazon was facing remarkably in different areas of the state to inventory arboreal plants high rates of forest conversion (Laurance et al.

  • Phylogeny and Historical Biogeography of Lauraceae
    PHYLOGENY Andre'S. Chanderbali,2'3Henk van der AND HISTORICAL Werff,3 and Susanne S. Renner3 BIOGEOGRAPHY OF LAURACEAE: EVIDENCE FROM THE CHLOROPLAST AND NUCLEAR GENOMES1 ABSTRACT Phylogenetic relationships among 122 species of Lauraceae representing 44 of the 55 currentlyrecognized genera are inferredfrom sequence variation in the chloroplast and nuclear genomes. The trnL-trnF,trnT-trnL, psbA-trnH, and rpll6 regions of cpDNA, and the 5' end of 26S rDNA resolved major lineages, while the ITS/5.8S region of rDNA resolved a large terminal lade. The phylogenetic estimate is used to assess morphology-based views of relationships and, with a temporal dimension added, to reconstructthe biogeographic historyof the family.Results suggest Lauraceae radiated when trans-Tethyeanmigration was relatively easy, and basal lineages are established on either Gondwanan or Laurasian terrains by the Late Cretaceous. Most genera with Gondwanan histories place in Cryptocaryeae, but a small group of South American genera, the Chlorocardium-Mezilauruls lade, represent a separate Gondwanan lineage. Caryodaphnopsis and Neocinnamomum may be the only extant representatives of the ancient Lauraceae flora docu- mented in Mid- to Late Cretaceous Laurasian strata. Remaining genera place in a terminal Perseeae-Laureae lade that radiated in Early Eocene Laurasia. Therein, non-cupulate genera associate as the Persea group, and cupuliferous genera sort to Laureae of most classifications or Cinnamomeae sensu Kostermans. Laureae are Laurasian relicts in Asia.

  • Unveiling the Participation of Amazonian Indigenous Peoples in the Construction of Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Botany
    HoST - Journal of History of Science and Technology Vol. 15, no. 1, June 2021, pp. 11-38 10.2478/host-2021-0002 SPECIAL ISSUE GLOBAL FLORA: MASTERING EXOTIC PLANTS (EIGHTEENTH—NINETEENTH CENTURIES) Knowledge and Circulation of Plants: Unveiling the Participation of Amazonian Indigenous Peoples in the Construction of Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Botany Rafael Rogério Nelson Sanjad Ermelinda Pataca Nascimento dos Santos Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Federal do Sul e Brazil Brazil Sudeste do Pará, Brazil [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: This article gives visibility to Amazonian indigenous peoples in the global process of plant circulation and associated knowledge. The first part highlights the indigenous role in cultivating and collecting native plants, and in the processing of natural products over the second half of the eighteenth century. The second part shows that these activities were influenced by internal colonial dynamics, as well as by international relations. The case of the ayapana herb is analysed in detail. This plant became known worldwide at the beginning of the nineteenth century thanks to the interactions among indigenous knowledge, Portuguese colonial politics and the performance of military and naturalists of different nationalities. Examples like this show that, in the process of building botany, which occurred concurrently with the globalization of plants, indigenous peoples provided not only specimens that circulated around the world, but also knowledge related to cultivation, transportation and uses.

  • Revision of Annesijoa, Elateriospermum and the Introduced Species of Hevea in Malesia (Euphorbiaceae)
    BLUMEA 49: 425– 440 Published on 10 December 2004 doi: 10.3767/000651904X484351 REVISION OF ANNESIJOA, ELATERIOSPERMUM AND THE INTRODUCED SPECIES OF HEVEA IN MALESIA (EUPHORBIACEAE) HOANG VAN SAM1 & PETER C. vaN WELZEN2 SUMMARY Annesijoa is an endemic monotypic genus from New Guinea with as single species A. novoguineensis. Elateriospermum is also monotypic (E. tapos) and found in West Malesia. The South American genus Hevea comprises about 10 species. One species (H. brasiliensis) is presently cultivated worldwide in plantations for its rubber and has become one of the major economic products of SE Asia. Two other species, H. guianensis and H. pauciflora are sometimes present in Malesian botanical gardens. Key words: Euphorbiaceae, Annesijoa, Elateriospermum, Hevea, Malesia. INTRODUCTION Three genera are revised for Flora Malesiana, Annesijoa Pax & K. Hoffm., Elaterio­ spermum Blume, and Hevea Aubl. These genera are not very closely related, but they are all part of the subfamily Crotonoideae (Webster, 1994; Radcliffe-Smith, 2001), though classified in different tribes (Jatropheae, Elateriospermeae, and Micrandreae subtribe Heveinae, respectively). Typical for the Micrandreae are colporate pollen with a reticulate sexine, articulate laticifers, absent petals, and plenty of endosperm (oily in the Heveinae). The Jatropheae and Elateriospermeae share inaperculate pollen with a typical ‘crotonoid’ sexine, inarticulate laticifers, petals absent or not, and seeds with or without endosperm. They differ in several characters, the Elateriospermeae lack endosperm and have no petals, while these are present in the Jatropheae. The three genera can easily be distinguished from each other. Hevea and Elaterio­ spermum have white latex, whereas Annesijoa has variable latex ranging from clear to white to red.
