  • The Lost Sabals
    The Lost Sabals Article and photos by Justen Dobbs, Riverside, CA In California, palmetto palms are not seen very often, whereas in Florida and the Carolinas , they are everywhere. The Mexican fan palm ( Washingtonia robusta ), which is native to Mexico, is our version of the palmetto palm (Sabal palmetto ). However, the Mexican Fan is much faster growing and a little neater looking, which destined it for landscape use in Southern California. Only a palm collector could tell them apart ; to the general public, they’re both fan palms. The palmetto is more cold -hardy than the Mexican fan, but in Southern California this isn’t a necessary feature. I have grown Sabal minor, S . mexicana, S. uresana, S. uresana x mexicana, S . causiarum, S . rosei, and S. bermudana . I knew long before I began growing them that they were notoriously slow. In general, my seedlings take about 6 months to germinate and 3-4 years to get to a 1 gallon size. Compare that to a Mexican fan , which can reach a one-gallon size in a year , it becomes obvious why palmettos haven’t become popular in California. Not all Sabals are slow growers though; Sabal “blackburniana ” (an invalid name and one impossible to apply to recognized species) has a reputation for being a Left - Sabal “blackbur - niana” growing in Southern California. Although this is an invalid name that cannot be linked to a recognized species, Sabals labeled with this name have a reputation for being relatively fast growing.

    Darwin Initiative Action Plan for the Coastal Biodiversity of Anegada, British Virgin Islands Darwin Anegada BAP 2006 Page We dedicate this document to the people of Anegada; the stewards of Anegada’s biodiversity and to Raymond Walker of the BVI National Parks Trust who tragically died after a very short illness during the course of this project. This report should be cited as: McGowan A., A.C.Broderick, C.Clubbe, S.Gore, B.J.Godley, M.Hamilton, B.Lettsome, J.Smith-Abbott, N.K.Woodfield. 2006. Darwin Initiative Action Plan for the Coastal Biodiversity of Anegada, British Virgin Islands. 13 pp. Available online at: http://www.seaturtle.org/mtrg/projects/anegada/ Darwin Anegada BAP 2006 Page 2 1. Introduction It well known that Anegada has globally important biodiversity. Indeed, biodiversity is the basis for most livelihoods; supporting fisheries and leading to the attractiveness that is such a draw to visitors. Over the last three years (2003-2006), a project was undertaken on Anegada with a wide range of activities focussing towards this Biodiversity Action Plan. From the outset it was known that the island hosts a globally important coral reef system, regionally significant populations of marine turtles, is of regional importance to birds and supports globally important endemic plants. The project arose following the encouragement of Anegada community members and subsequent extensive consultation between Dr. Godley (University of Exeter) and heads of BVI Conservation and Fisheries Department (CFD) and BVI National Parks Trust (NPT) who requested that funding be sourced for a project which: 1. Allowed the coastal biodiversity of Anegada to be assessed; 2.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Big Plant Nursery Guide to Choosing a Hardy Palm Palms for the UK Garden
    Big Plant Nursery Guide to Choosing a Hardy Palm Palms for the UK Garden Many of us like palms and want to grow hardy palms in our garden. Unfortunately the list of hardy palms suitable for UK gardens is fairly small. It’s also best to buy the largest palm you can afford for increased hardiness and effect, so choosing the right hardy palm is important to make the best purchase. At Big Plant Nursery we have been trialling, growing hardy exotics, hardy and not so hardy palms for over 20 years in our hot in summer but chilly in winter (frost pocket) West Sussex growing site. I’m fairly confident that if you follow our advice you won’t go far wrong. Just bear in mind it’s all about microclimates and using the warmest part of your garden to best advantage. We’ll start with hardy palms that have a realistic chance of not just surviving but growing into magnificent palms. Trachycarpus fortunei, Chusan Palm or Windmill Palm By far the easiest hardy palm growing in most parts of the UK. Trachycarpus fortunei occurs naturally in Northern China where it grows on wooded hill sides able to cope with sun and shade whilst being tolerant of heavy rain and damp soils – Perfect for the UK! Trachycarpus fortunei have big palmate leaves and a hairy fibrous trunk they are head and shoulders above all other hardy palms for growing here in the UK if you want to try a palm this is the one! Amazingly tolerant of most conditions and able to grow quite fast I think every garden should have one (or two) just bear in mind that with such big impressive leaves choose a spot where your chusan will get a little shelter from strong winds… It will grow in exposed positions but always looks better with a little shelter – Invest in one now!! We grow Chusan Palms in our heavy wet (in winter) and dry (summer!) clay.

Quero Jardin Botanico , Instituto de Biologia, Universidad Nacional, Autonoma de Mexico , Apdo. Post. 70-614, Mexico, 04510, D.F. Accepted May 26, 1992 Sabal is a New World genus which grows in the Northern Hemisphere from the Caribb ean Islands, Southern United States (USA), Central America, to Venezuela. Mexico has the greatest diversity of Sabal with 7 of the 15 known species (Zona 1990).A mong the genera of palms occurring in Mexico, Sabal is one of the most economically i mportant genus, all of its species are intensively utilized by the rural population. The mature l eaves are used for thatching , the young leaves are used for make different kind of handicrafts, trunks for constructions . Sabal mexicana is also used as a source of edible "palm heart" and their fruits are used as complementary pig fodder (Caballero 1991). Four of the 7 Sabal species that occur in Mexico grow in the Yucatan Peninsula. They are, Sabal mexicana, S. mauritiiformis, S. yapa and the recently described species S. gretheriae. The three former species are clearly distinctive but S. gretheriae is closely similar to S. mexicana (Quero 1991). Palm chromosome counts have been reported for 111 genera and approximately 250 spec ies. The presence of a consecutive gametic numbers ranging from n=13 to n=18 , is called a d ysploid series. Palms of the subfamily Coryphoideae are considered to be the most primitive group with n=18 (Uhl and Druansfield 1987).
