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.

I thought I should add this palm to the list of the Cold Hardiness No damage observed best palms to grow. Hurricane Resistance Excellent Coccothrinax argentata is a small, solitary palmate palm. It is native to the Florida Keys ranging north along the eastern coast to southern Palm Beach County. This palm also is native to the Bahamas. Henderson lumped several species into C. argentata which gave this species a much wider distribution. I do not believe Henderson’s grouping is officially recognized. Typical habitats are coastal hammocks, pine rocklands, and well drained sandy or limestone soil. It is classified as “threatened” in Florida. C. argentata is highly tolerant to salt wind but not tolerant to long-term flooding by salt water. C. argentata is very slow growing but can reach 20 feet in height.

    MBC Palm Conservation Expedition Trinidad & Tobago | April 2-21, 2007 Project Staff and Contact Information M. Patrick Griffith, Ph.D. Larry R. Noblick, Ph.D. Montgomery Botanical Center Executive Director Palm Biologist 11901 Old Cutler Road [email protected] [email protected] Coral Gables, FL 33156 (305) 667-3800 SUMMARY The Montgomery Botanical Center 2007 Trinidad and Tobago Palm Conservation Expedition successfully met its objectives. COLLECTIONS Of 22 species of native palm in Trinidad and Tobago, population collections of 14 taxa were obtained within three weeks. Montgomery Botanical Center (MBC) staff made 69 separate seed collections from those 14 species, for a total of 4,884 seed collected. Fourteen herbarium vouchers (one for each species) were made, and duplicates of all specimens were deposited at the National Herbarium of Trinidad and Tobago (TRIN). COLLABORATION This project was accomplished through close collaboration with the National Herbarium of Trinidad and Tobago at the University of the West Indies in St. Augustine, which provided logistical support, guidance, and expertise. The Herbarium, University staff, and Trinidad and Tobago Forestry Department participated in fieldwork. Both Dr. Griffith and Dr. Noblick presented MBC research through seminars to the Life Sciences Department at UWI. The crucial funding partnership of the South Florida Palm Society enabled the project. The 2007 MBC Trinidad and Tobago Expedition, Mrs. Yasmin Baksh-Comeau, lead authors of “The Palm funded by the South Florida Palm Society, sent Book of Trinidad and Tobago”, to discuss MBC’s collect- Dr. Larry Noblick and Dr. Patrick Griffith to Trini- ing plans.
