Bryophytes (hornworts, liverworts, and mosses) are a rich and diverse element of the neotropical flora. In their roles as water reservoirs they prevent soil erosion, and as sensitive reactors to water and air quality they are early indicators of degrading biodiversity and ecosystem quality. This guide is an indispensable tool for teachers of botany, ecology, and plant geography, as well as for those studying bryophytes and their role in the natural environment. The authors provide descriptions, illustrations, and keys to the 597 genera and 120 families of bryophytes recorded from tropical America. The generic descriptions include data on the diversity, distribution, and ecology of the group within the Neotropics, important morphological characters, salient features for identification, and relevant literature for species identification. The highly informative introduction includes discussions of morphology; life cycle; characters useful for identification, with explanations of their technical terms and detailed drawings illustrating them; distribution and conservation; the bryophytes most characteristic of various habitats; and bryophyte collection and processing. A glossary and listings of important bryological literature and important bryological herbaria in tropical America also appear in the introduction.

Pierce Colfer and Nancy Peluso et al. What is the world giving up when tropical rainforests are destroyed? The authors ponder this question from the view of the Uma‘ Jalan Kenyah, an indigenous people of eastern Borneo, by examining the complex management systems they have developed for tropical forests. This work reports on the many uses the Kenyah make of the various stages of forest regrowth, the under-recognized benefits gained from the forest, and the forest‘s value beyond that which is attached to it by outsiders. The book‘s final chapter offers recommendations on how the Uma Jalan Kenyah system might be adapted to help in the conservation of tropical rainforests and the continued subsistence of traditional rain forest communities. Twelve appendixes, including sections on population data and local uses of plants from forests and home gardens, complete this volume.

In this monographic revision, Andersson has considered more than 330 names in an effort to resolve the many nomenclatural issues surrounding this genus. He recognizes 23 species, three of which are newly described. In addition to the systematic treatment, he discusses the morphology, phylogeny, cytology, distribution, ecology, and cultivation of this important genus.

Stevenson Cycads have been around for 250 million years, during which time they have retained seemingly unchanged features. They also have developed unique characteristics that are used today in medicine and agriculture, lending to their status as an irreplaceable group within the world’s biodiverse plant kingdom. The International Conference on Cycad Biology, held every three years since its inception in 1987, has become a prominent meeting, centering on all aspects of the biology of this unusual, important, and interesting group of plants. The conferences stimulate research ranging from horticultural aspects to conservation and neurobiology and promote ex-situ and in-situ conservation globally. Each of the conferences has produced a volume of papers on the varied aspects of cycad biology; this volume is the seventh and most extensive in the series. This volume represents the current state of knowledge about the evolution, pollination biology, ethnobotany, conservation status, and molecular biological aspects, among other topics, of the living cycads. Some of the articles are in Spanish, and all have Spanish and English abstracts. Even though these plants have survived the vicissitudes of time and trials, they are now endangered as a result of human activities. Of particular interest are the several papers in this volume on the conservation biology—both ex situ and in situ—of the group, pest control issues, the role of insects and birds in the biology of cycads, and the relationship of these plants to human activities and their role in many cultures.

In devising his own classification scheme for Hepaticae, Spruce recognized four sub-orders, described more than 500 new taxa, and made sense of a number of perplexing groups (e.g., Lejeuneaceae) with his use of intermediate categories.. His eye for detail and his precise diagnoses set him apart from his contemporaries and this remains the most comprehensive treatment of the extensive hepatic flora of these regions of South America.

The resulting New York Botanical Garden was constructed, in part with municipal funds, as a grand and prestigious outdoor urban space for the enjoyment and education of a wide citizen base. Britton’s foremost concern, however, was the establishment of a New York venue for botanical science. Convinced of the necessity of scientific independence from European centers of knowledge, Britton used the Botanical Garden to create a decidedly American place for the practice of New World botany by mounting a series of expeditions that catalogued the flora of the Western Hemisphere, most significantly the US colony of Puerto Rico. Britton sought to position the Garden to take advantage of the emerging philanthropic support of practical science at that time; in doing so, he emphasized the needs of a scientific institution over those of a picturesque public park. Britton’s success in establishing the Garden illustrates the ways in which taxonomic botany remained a priority among scientific endeavors into the twentieth century and beyond. Today, thanks to this auspicious beginning, The New York Botanical Garden ranks among the most important institutions, both for New York City and the botanical world.

By Jennie Wood Sheldon Plants have been the source of folk medicines for centuries. The acquisition of plant material to meet the large-scale demands of the herbal and pharmaceutical industries has applied added pressures to plant resources, straining and degrading them as a result. The authors have selected several plant species valued in traditional and contemporary medical practice to illustrate the impact of over-harvesting on natural and human forest communities. They use case histories to discuss the most pressing issues and present local models for addressing these issues. The authors conclude that our dependence on medicinal solutions to health problems will dictate a policy of cooperation among traditional, herbal, and pharmaceutical interests in the search for more balanced harvesting and conservation methods.
