Flora of the Greater Antilles Symposium 2000

The Flora of the Greater Antilles Symposium 2000 will be held at The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York, U.S.A., on Friday, 23 June and Saturday, 24 June 2000. The program will consist of several principal speakers who will present papers on the background for the understanding of the flora and fungi of the region. A poster session is open to all participants. Posters from persons who cannot attend can be sent with persons who are attending the meeting. [NO poster will be accepted unless it is brought and displayed by a participant]. Lodging will be available at Fordham University, across the street from The New York Botanical Garden. To request poster abstract forms and preregistration forms contact: T. Zanoni, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx,. NY 10458-5126, USA. Fax (718) 562-6780 or email TZANONI@NYBG.ORG. Please indicate if your home or funding institution needs a letter of invitation for your participation in the symposium.


News

From James D. Ackerman

Raymond Tremblay, Norris Williams, Wes Higgins and I went to the Dominican Republic in June, 1999, to collect Orchidaceae for the Flora of the Greater Antilles project. We focused on several taxa for molecular work. Tremblay (University of Puerto Rico, Humacao campus) was interested in Lepanthes for his studies on the mechanisms of evolutionary diversification in the genus. Wes Higgins (University of Florida) picked up Prosthechea (cockle shell Encyclias) and Quisqueya for his phylogenetic analyses of Laeliinae. Norris Williams (UF) and I hunted down Tolumnia for a monographic treatment of the genus. The trip, though short, was a success, thanks to the assistance that the staff at Jardín Botánico Nacional (JBSD) in Santo Domingo gave us.

Marta A. Diaz (Jardín Botánico Nacional, La Habana, Cuba) just finished a two week visit to Puerto Rico. Marta and I finished the ground work on the genus Encyclia for the Flora. The species in Cuba have a long history of misconceptions. With the combination of studying numerous specimens on loan from herbaria worldwide, examination of types, and a very good understanding of variation in the field, we are satisfied that our treatment will be a big improvement over others.

Raymond Tremblay, Norris Williams and Mark Whitten (University of Florida) visited the Cayman Islands and Jamaica to collect specimens for the Flora project, especially to seek out problem species and obtain more Tolumnia material for molecular work.

The work on the Orchidaceae for the Flora of the Greater Antilles is being funded by NSF-BSI grant DEB 9595459 to James D. Ackerman, principal investigator. Other persons may have other sources of funding.

From D. Jean Lodge, Basidiomycetes of the Greater Antilles Group

The Basidiomycetes Group had an expedition to Jamaica in June, 1999. The Corticiaceae and Heterobasidiomycetes were very abundant in the early part of the rainy season. Part of our group stayed in the Blue Mountains, while the other part travelled around the island. While the agaric fungi were not very abundant, several turned out to be new species. We are contemplating submitting a new proposal to the NSF Biotic Surveys & Inventories Program to explore this island more thoroughly.

A participant in the 1997 trips to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, N. W. Legon, published an illustrated (color photographic) report. [Legon, N. W. 1999. A mycological expedition to Puerto Rico. Mycologist 13: 58-62.]

These expeditions were funded in part by NSF Biotic Surveys & Inventories Program grant DEB-95-25902.
