In order to answerthis questionwith some accuracy,I counted genera and speciesin 1954 using my own provisional keys to genera and attempting through the use of monographs, floras, and personal knowledgeto eliminate synonymousnames from considerationin the number of species. The figures are not exact but seem a reasonableestimate. A reduction in the number of genera may be expectedwhen relationships among the arecoid palms are better understoodand it is certain that the number of specieswill change as new ones are discoveredand described and as many old speciesbecome better known. Figures for 1960 are essentiallythose of 1954. A total of about 230 genera arrd 2640 speciesin round numbers is distributed "induplicate" as follows. The palms include about 44 genera and 422 species: Borassoideae7 genera and 42 species; Caryotoideae 3 genera and 38 species; coryphoideae 33 genera and 330 species; Phoenicoideae1 genus and 12 species. The "reduplicate" palms number about 186 genela and 2220 species: Arecoideae about 130 genera and 1100 species; Cocoideae27 generaand 610 species; Lepido- caryoideae24 generaand 500 species; Nypoideae I genus and I species; Phytele- phantoideae4 generaand B species. It is of interest to note that the arecoid palms account for more than half the genera and somewhatless than half the species,a situation not likely to be radically changed even if further small subfamilies are segregated from them. The cocoid palms follow in number of speciesthough not of genera. The smallest subfamily consists solely of Nypa t'ruticans. H. E. Moonn. Jn..

Occupying Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago in 1899, U.S. Army officials assumed sovereignty over a series of Muslim populations collectively referred to as ‘Moros.’ Beholden to pre-existing notions of Moro ungovernability, for two decades military and civilian administrators ruled the Southern Philippines separately from the Christian regions of the North. In the 1920s, Islamic areas of Mindanao and Sulu were ‘normalized’ and haphazardly assimilated into the emergent Philippine nation-state.

    We’re turning 100! During 2007, Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum will be celebrating a very special anniversary—100 years since the University established the Botanical Garden and Arboretum on what is now the Nichols Arboretum property. In January 1907, the Regents of the University officially accepted a gift of land from Walter and Esther Nichols that would be combined with additional gifts of land from Professors George Burns and the Detroit Edison Company, land purchased by the University, and land owned by the City of Ann Arbor to create the University’s Botanical Garden and Arboretum. The property was used as both botanical garden and arboretum for about a decade until the Botanical Garden moved to a site on Iroquois Street near what is now Stadium Boulevard and Industrial Highway. In 1957, Frederick C. Matthaei, Sr. and his wife Mildred Hague Matthaei donated some 200 acres of land that would be combined with the adjacent Matteson Farm to create the current Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Over the ensuing years, both of these unique properties have become treasured community resources as well as critical research and teaching facilities for the University of Michigan. During 2007, we’ll be celebrating our centennial and the 50th birthday of Matthaei Botanical Gardens by developing a series of interpretive displays to illustrate our history. These will be showcased in their entirety at Matthaei Botanical Gardens and in part at the Reader Center at Nichols Arboretum. We hope you’ll come visit us during this special year! What follows here is a brief synopsis of our history.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XVII—THIRTEENTH MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF BENJAMIN LINCOLN ROBINSON 1864-1935 BY M. L. FERNALD PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1936 BENJAMIN LINCOLN ROBINSON 1864-1935 BY M. L. FERNAI.D Benjamin Lincoln Robinson was born at Bloomington, Illi- nois, November 8, 1864, the son of James Harvey and Latricia Maria (Drake) Robinson, and died at his summer home in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, July 27, 1935. His ancestry both on his father's and his maternal grandmother's side was chiefly of English protestant stock who early immigrated to colonial Mas- sachusetts, he being a descendant in the eighth generation from the Rev. John Robinson, a Puritan pastor at Leyden. His maternal grandfather, the Rev. Benjamin Bradner Drake, born at Borodine, New York, was in part descended from Scotch Irish stock which had settled in New York State about 1735. The parents of Benjamin Lincoln Robinson, both born in New York State, settled in Illinois about 1840, the father there engag- ing in business and becoming the president of the First National Bank in Bloomington. Benjamin was the youngest of eight children. He was edu- cated at home until his tenth year, then for six years in the pub- lic schools of his native city. Thereafter he prepared for col- lege at the Illinois Normal School at Normal, where he came under the stimulating instruction of Edward J. James, later distinguished as president of the University of Illinois. In the autumn of 1883 Robinson entered Williams College; but, find- ing the opportunities there to specialize in botany less than he had anticipated, he remained only three months and returned home and prepared himself for Harvard College, which he entered the following autumn.
