The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br
The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br. in W.T.Aiton, Hortus Kew. 5: 216 (1813) Type: Brassavola [B.] cucullata [bra-SAH-vo-la kyoo-kyoo-LAH-ta] There are 28 species (OrchidWiz [update Dec 2017]) that are epiphytes and sometimes lithophytes at elevations of from sea level to 3300 ft (1000 m) from Mexico, southern Caribbean islands to northern Argentina in moist or wet montane forests, mangroves, rocky crevices and cliff faces. They are most fragrant at night and many with a citrus smell. The genus is characterized by very small pencil-like pseudobulbs, often forming large clumps; a single, fleshy, apical, sub-terete leaf and the inflorescence produced form the apex of the pseudobulb. The inflorescence carries from a single to a few large flowers. The floral characteristics are elongate narrow similar sepals and petals, the base of the lip usually tightly rolled around at least a portion of the column which carries 12, sometimes eight unequal pollina with prominent opaque caudicles. The flowers usually occur, as a rule, in spring, summer and fall. The flowers are generally yellow to greenish white with a mostly white lip. It is not unusual for dark spots, usually purple, to be in the region where the sepals, petals, and lip join the stem (claw). This spotting is a dominant generic trait in Brassavola nodose. They are easily cultivated under intermediate conditions. Although this is a relatively small genus (28 species), the species show an unusually close relationship with one another in their floral patterns, coloration, and column structure making identification difficult, key to know where the plants were collected. -

Abstract The expansion of red palm mite (RPM), Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) in Brazil could impact negatively the native plant species, especially of the family Arecaceae. To determine which species could be at risk, we investigated the development and reproductive potential of R. indica on 19 plant species including 13 native species to the Brazilian Amazon (12 Arecaceae and one Heliconiaceae), and six exotic species, four Arecaceae, a Musaceae and a Zingiberaceae. -

Mechanical stress in the inner bark of 15 tropical tree species and the relationship with anatomical structure1 Romain Lehnebach, Léopold Doumerc, Bruno Clair, and Tancrède Alméras Abstract: Recent studies have shown that the inner bark is implicated in the postural control of inclined tree stems through the interaction between wood radial growth and tangential expansion of a trellis fiber network in bark. Assessing the taxonomic extent of this mechanism requires a screening of the diversity in bark anatomy and mechanical stress. The mechanical state of bark was measured in 15 tropical tree species from various botanical families on vertical mature trees, and related to the anatomical structure of the bark. -

En la región Madre de Dios, es necesario seguir analizando los procesos de .cambios climáticos provenientes de la explotación de los recursos mineros, los recursos forestales, recurso castaña, etc.; Estos presentan un cambio a nivel socio - económico y ambiental en la región. Las perturbaciones naturales y los cambios climáticos se adicionan a los factores ambientales cambiantes provocando el dinamismo en la estructura y composición de los bosques; ésta es una razón para la realización del estudio de familia Apocynaceae y 'Melastomataceae en áreas pertenecientes a la Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco. La ciencia y la investigación tienen un compromiso en cuestionar y buscar alternativas para una estabilidad ambiental, viabilidad económica y una respuesta social hacia las nuevas condiciones ambientales~ Por otro lado la composición florística en ambas áreas de estudio está determinada por los factores ambientales como posición geográfica, clima, suelos, topografía, dinámica del bosque y la ecología de sus especies. Una de las características más relevantes de los bosques tropicales húmedos en general es su alta diversidad de especies vegetales, tanto arbóreas, arbustivos y hierbas. -

Silva & Celine de Melo Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, R. Ceará s/n, CEP. 38400-902, Uberlândia - MG, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected] Resumo. – Frugivoria e dispersão de sementes por soldadinho (Antilophia galeata) em matas do Cerrado brasileiro. – Antilophia galeata é uma ave frugívora da família Pipridae que tem sido registrada como uma boa dispersora de sementes de diversas espécies vegetais do Cerrado. O objetivo do tra- balho foi determinar o comportamento alimentar de A. galeata para avaliar seu potencial de dispersão de sementes em três fragmentos florestais. Foram registradas a tática de captura de frutos, o tempo gasto, o número de frutos consumidos e a espécie do fruto. Capturas com rede neblina foram usadas para coleta de material defecado. Foi registrado o consumo de 16 espécies de plantas, sendo Rubiaceae e Melastomataceae, as famílias mais representativas. As táticas de captura de fruto em vôo foram as mais frequentes, sendo que foram consumidos 3,86 ± 1,52 frutos por minuto em cada visita e em 88% dos registros, os frutos foram engolidos inteiros. No conteúdo fecal foram identificados três morfotipos de sementes. Os dados permitem afirmar que A. galeata é uma espécie importante nas interações frugívoro-planta e na dispersão de sementes. Abstract. – The Helmeted Manakin (Antilophia galeata) is a frugivorous bird of the Pipridae family and has been registered as a good seed disperser for several plants species from Cerrado. -

E-mail: Abstract: The Rondônia Natural Resources Management Project (PLANAFLORO) was a strategic program developed in partnership between the Brazilian Government and The World Bank in 1992, with the purpose of stimulating the sustainable development and protection of the Amazon in the state of Rondônia. More than a decade after the PLANAFORO program concluded, the aim of the present work is to recover and share the information from the long-abandoned plant collections made during the project’s ecological-economic zoning phase. Most of the material analyzed was sterile, but the fertile voucher specimens recovered are listed here. The material examined represents 378 species in 234 genera and 76 families of angiosperms. Some 8 genera, 68 species, 3 subspecies and 1 variety are new records for Rondônia State. It is our intention that this information will stimulate future studies and contribute to a better understanding and more effective conservation of the plant diversity in the southwestern Amazon of Brazil. Introduction The PLANAFLORO Project funded botanical expeditions In early 1990, Brazilian Amazon was facing remarkably in different areas of the state to inventory arboreal plants high rates of forest conversion (Laurance et al. -
