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. -

A notable administration feature of the year's work of the Department in these boroughs was the reception tendered by the citizens of New York to Admiral Dewey on his return from the Philippines. In this great popular demonstration the Deparlment was vitally concerned, as the site of the memorial arch, erected.in honor of the naval heroes, was within the jur~sdictionof the Department and most of the stand provision, at the reviewing point and other places along the line of march, had to be made on ground belonging to the park system. -

Toponymic Data Helps to Reveal the Occurrence of Previously Unknown
Research Communication Toponymic Data Helps to Reveal the Occurrence of Previously Un- known Populations of Wild Zamia pumila L. on Volcanic Substrates in South Central Puerto Rico Jaime R. Pagán-Jiménez1* and Julio C. Lazcano-Lara2 Author address: 1Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University (The Netherlands), and Programa de Maestría en Arqueología, Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Puerto Rico y el Caribe (Puerto Rico). 2Laboratory for Integrative Biology, Departamento de Biología, Universidad de Puerto Rico, Río Piedras (Puerto Rico). * Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: February 26, 2013 Volume: 4:52-58 Published: April 30, 2013 © 2013 Society of Ethnobiology Abstract: This is the first report of the occurrence of wild Zamia pumila L. Zamiaceae populations on various volcanic substrates in the piedmont area of south central Puerto Rico. Data acquisition and its field confirmation were possible after the identification of toponymic names in old and current maps, and historic documents of the island in which one of the indigenous names for the genus (marunguey [marungüey] or marungueyes) has been used for naming some localities. These preliminary data have deep implications for paleo- and neoethnobotanical research, and for population ecology of the species in Puerto Rico, because they expand the traditionally accepted range for the species on the island. Zamia has been described as one of the main food plants among pre- and post-Columbian inhabitants in two islands of the Greater Antilles, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, where the most sophisticated pre-Columbian society of the Antilles, the Taínos, emerged. Our findings suggest that Zamia might have been more available to humans, as a food source, than previously thought. -

Adansonia, sér. 3, 28 (2) : 213-241. ABSTRACT Based on the examination of herbarium specimens including numerous recent collections and on observations of the species in situ, we herein present a revi- sion of the tree fern family Cyatheaceae for the Mascarene Islands. Th ree taxa are accepted for Réunion, two of which are endemic to the island. Four taxa, including one endemic species and two endemic varieties, are recognized for Mauritius. One introduced species is present on both islands. We describe one new species, Cyathea grangaudiana Th .Janssen & Rakotondr. and one new va- riety, Cyathea borbonica Desv. var. sevathiana Th .Janssen & Rakotondr. from Mauritius. Cyathea grangaudiana has a pinnate-pinnatisect lamina, scattered acicular hairs on the abaxial face of the costules and sporangiasters on the re- ceptacle. Cyathea borbonica var. sevathiana has erect leaves, a bipinnate lamina with conduplicate pinnae and pinnules as well as smaller and more coriaceous KEY WORDS Cyatheaceae, pinnules than the type variety.
