A Floristic Evaluation of the Natural Plant Communities and Grounds Occurring at The Key West Botanical Garden, Stock Island, Monroe County, Florida Steven W. Woodmansee [email protected] January 20, 2006 Submitted by The Institute for Regional Conservation 22601 S.W. 152 Avenue, Miami, Florida 33170 George D. Gann, Executive Director Submitted to CarolAnn Sharkey Key West Botanical Garden 5210 College Road Key West, Florida 33040 and Kate Marks Heritage Preservation 1012 14th Street, NW, Suite 1200 Washington DC 20005 Introduction The Key West Botanical Garden (KWBG) is located at 5210 College Road on Stock Island, Monroe County, Florida. It is a 7.5 acre conservation area, owned by the City of Key West. The KWBG requested that The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) conduct a floristic evaluation of its natural areas and grounds and to provide recommendations. Study Design On August 9-10, 2005 an inventory of all vascular plants was conducted at the KWBG. All areas of the KWBG were visited, including the newly acquired property to the south. Special attention was paid toward the remnant natural habitats. A preliminary plant list was established. Plant taxonomy generally follows Wunderlin (1998) and Bailey et al. (1976). Results Five distinct habitats were recorded for the KWBG. Two of which are human altered and are artificial being classified as developed upland and modified wetland. In addition, three natural habitats are found at the KWBG. They are coastal berm (here termed buttonwood hammock), rockland hammock, and tidal swamp habitats. Developed and Modified Habitats Garden and Developed Upland Areas The developed upland portions include the maintained garden areas as well as the cleared parking areas, building edges, and paths.

Woody and Herbaceous Plants Native to Haiti for Use in Miami-Dade Landscapes1
Woody and Herbaceous Plants Native to Haiti For use in Miami-Dade Landscapes1 Haiti occupies the western one third of the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic the remainder. Of all the islands within the Caribbean basin Hispaniola possesses the most varied flora after that of Cuba. The plants contained in this review have been recorded as native to Haiti, though some may now have been extirpated due in large part to severe deforestation. Less than 1.5% of the country’s original tree-cover remains. Haiti’s future is critically tied to re- forestation; loss of tree cover has been so profound that exotic fast growing trees, rather than native species, are being used to halt soil erosion and lessen the risk of mudslides. For more information concerning Haiti’s ecological plight consult references at the end of this document. For present purposes all of the trees listed below are native to Haiti, which is why non-natives such as mango (the most widely planted tree) and other important trees such as citrus, kassod tree (Senna siamea) and lead tree (Leucanea leucocephala) are not included. The latter two trees are among the fast growing species used for re-forestation. The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History’s Flora of the West Indies was an invaluable tool in assessing the range of plants native to Haiti. Not surprisingly many of the listed trees and shrubs 1 John McLaughlin Ph.D. U.F./Miami-Dade County Extension Office, Homestead, FL 33030 Page | 1 are found in other parts of the Caribbean with some also native to South Florida.

View of Endemism in the Flora Has Decreased the Number of Endemics to 89 Species Within 54 Genera and 29 Families (Freid Et Al
ABSTRACT A FLORISTIC STUDY OF A FORMER LAND BRIDGE IN THE BAHAMA ARCHIPELAGO by Mark Leo Daniels A floristic study of plant communities was conducted on the islands of Eleuthera, Little San Salvador, and Cat Island. The objectives of this analysis were to explore the species composition and distribution of dry forest communities among the three study sites, and to propose new classification types to facilitate plant conservation in The Bahamas, as outlined by the International Classification of Ecological Communities for Caribbean vegetation types. Unconstrained ordination, cluster analysis and indicator species analysis indicated two dominant forest types across the three study sites: the Coccothrinax argentata-Reynosia septentironalis and Coccoloba diversifolia-Bursera simaruba Alliances. Nested within these forest types were 8 species associations: Coccothrinax argentata– Reynosia septentrionalis – Pithecellobium keyense association; Zanthoxylum flavum – Jacquinia keyensis – Casasia clusiifolia association; Acacia choriophylla - Pithcellobium keyense - Guapira discolor association; Coccoloba diversifolia- Sideroxylon americanum-Pseudophoenix sargentii association; Maytenus buxifolia- Sideroxylon salicifolium association; Exothea paniculata-Tabebuia bahamensis- Metopium toxiferum association; Guaiacum sanctum association; Eugenia foetida- Exostema caribeaum-Bourreria succulenta association.

2013 – February
FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER 2013 FROM THE PRESIDENT: More than anything, this Society’s function is to promote indigenous species and closely related introduced knowledge, protection and culture of our unique species. This is a problem only brought to light with the botanical heritage. So Robin Marirea’s presentation to advent of DNA analysis. The most notable instance to us last week, on our Native and Endemic plants, got right date is that of the Bermuda cedar Juniperus bermudiana to the very heart of this interest. having crossed with Darrell’s cedar Juniperus silicola and possibly other junipers. This hybridization is very hard to prevent, still less reverse, and it may be that J. bermudiana is doomed as a pure bred species. The upside is that hybridization may well have contributed to resistance to scale insects in present day “Bermuda” cedars. Robin reports that the Department of Conservation Services is about to publish a manual on the Indigenous & Invasive Plants of Bermuda or Bermuda Plant Finder . This will be an essential resource for both teaching and reference. Robin is among the contributors to the manual, as are David Wingate, Jeremy Madeiros and Lucy Hollis, a former recipient of a BBS scholarship. The manual, replete with colour photographs throughout, Robin Marirea Presentation is likely to sell for around $35.00. All who are interested in Bermuda’s plant life will want a copy. For a preview I have never seen such a selection of our Native and of a draft version go to the Department’s website: Endemic plants in one place, at one time.
