The 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants This book represents a milestone in the history of Red Data books. It lists vascular plants (ferns and fern allies; gymnosperms, including cycads and Gnetales; and flowering plants) recorded as globally rare, vulnerable, endangered, or extinct. The current volume enumerates 33,798 species as threatened, highlighting the grim statistic that over 12.5% of the world‘s vascular flora is at risk on a global scale. The list is arranged by the major plant groups. Within each group, families are listed alphabetically; genera and species are listed alphabetically within their families.

Beyond Slash and Burn; Building on Indigenous Management of Borneo‘s Tropical Rain Forests By Carol J. 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.

The Botany of the Guayana Highland. Part IV By Bassett Maguire and John J. Wurdack (one volume) In this first volume of part 4, Maguire, Wurdack, and collaborators report on the following groups from the Guayana Highland: Musci by E. B. Bartram; Xyridaceae, Marantaceae, Linaceae, and Ochnaceae by B. Maguire and J. J. Wurdack; Bromeliaceae by L. B. Smith; Annonaceae by R. E. Fries; Rutaceae by R. S.

Britton‘s Botanical Empire: The New York Botanical Garden and American Botany, 1888-1929 By Peter Mickulas In the 1890s botanist Nathaniel Lord Britton united New York City’s private Gilded Age wealth with the expertise of its increasingly well-respected scientific community in order to realize his vision of a world-class botanical research institution situated within the landscaped confines of a newly annexed Bronx park. 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.

Ethnobotany of the Shuar of Eastern Ecuador By Bradley C. Bennett and Marc A. Baker et al. Amazonian Ecuador, an area roughly the size of England, supports both a diverse flora and ethnic population. Approximately 3,000 plant species are known from the area. At least 17 and possibly as many as 26 distinct cultural groups lived in the region before European contact. The Shuar are one of eight ethnic peoples currently inhabiting this region. They are among Ecuador‘s most important and influential ethnic groups and constitute Amazonia‘s second largest indigenous population—roughly 40,000—but until now there have been no comprehensive studies of Shuar ethnobotany. Amazonia‘s native people use much of the regions plant diversity, about half of which have been documented as to Shuar use. The Shuar have survived a century of colonization. Unconquered by the Incas and Spanish, the Shuar now face a more subtle threat—that of cultural erosion. Despite the onslaught of deforestation and acculturation, the Shuar have maintained many aspects of their traditional practices especially the use of wild and cultivated plants. They have also begun to record their traditions. This volume provides a wealth of information about climatic data, previous ethnobotanical studies, description of the area, and Shuar ethnology and history. The authors identify 579 species of plants used by the Shuar, making this work one of the most comprehensive ethnobotanical surveys of any Amazonian culture. Although this represents roughtly only half of the plants used by the Shuar, it is a good baseline for further research. Order No. AEB 14 2002, ISBN 0-89327-421-6 (Paperback), 304 pages, $19.00 | ||

Evolution and Ecology of Palms By Andrew Henderson Palms are among the most abundant, diverse, and economically important families of plants found in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Within the tropics, especially in lowland moist forests, palms are extremely abundant in terms of both numbers of species and individuals, and are clearly an imortant part of the ecosystem. In addition, palms have a fascinating life history, much of it related to their morphology: they are not trees, yet they have woody stems and are not classified as herbaceous plants. The large number of species, tropical habitat, and diversity of palms combine to produce a compelling subject for the study of evolution and ecology at the family level. Moreover, with their aesthetic appearance and distinctive and apparently simple architecture, palms seem to have an intrinsic appeal for tropical botanists and non-botanists alike. Despite this appeal and considering their economic importance, there is limited knowledge of many aspects of the family. In fact, the very reasons we find palms appealing contribute to their relative intractability as objects of scientific study. Their woody stems and tropical habitats are among the factors limiting a more extensive study of palms. Systematic knowledge of the many species is mostly incomplete. In this work, Henderson bring together and analyzes the relevant literature and data in an attempt to understand something of the evolution and ecology of the palm family, and integrates this disparate knowledge into a cohesive whole. Andrew Henderson is a Curator in the Institute of Systematic Botany at The New York Botanical Garden and author of a number of books and papers on palms. Among his publications are: The Palms of the Amazon, A Field Guide to the Palms of the Americas, and Evolution, Variation, and Classification of Palms.

Evolution, Variation, and Classification of Palms Edited by Andrew Henderson and Finn Borchsenius The 26 papers comprising this volume were contributed by well-known palm researchers and reflect four themes: species and species concepts, species-level data, species-level case studies, and higher-level classification. Broad and narrow species concepts are provided and the usefulness of the different approaches discussed. Examples of species complexes illustrate the intractability of accounting for variation with conventional methods. The broad general differences in diversity between geographical areas are discussed, as are their possible causes. Order No. MEM 83 1999, ISBN 0-89327-426-7 (Hardcover), 352 pages, $60.00 | ||

Guide to the Bryophytes of Tropical America By S. Robbert Gradstein and Steven P. Churchill et al. 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.

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. Also contains an introduction and index to taxa described in Hepaticae Amazonicae et Andinae by Barbara M. Thiers. Order No. CON 15 ISBN 0-89327-259-0 (Paperback), 637 pages, $5.00 | ||

Medicinal Plants: Can Utilization and Conservation Coexist? 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.

The Moss Flora of Mexico By Aaron J. Sharp and Howard Crum, et al. Work on this monograph began in the early 1940s as an effort to determine the degree to which the flora of Mexico and the southern Appalachian Mountains are similar. The flora presented in this volume represents the efforts of 32 experts active in floristic and monographic revisions of families and genera represented in Mexico. Their collective work represented here has expanded the known ranges of the Mexican species of mosses, netted many species new to science, and placed many others in synonymy, thereby demonstrating phytogeographic ties to many parts of the world other than the Southern Appalachians.

Nepstad and Stephan Schwartzman The practice of extracting economically valuable non-timber forest products while leaving forests structurally and functionally intact is an ancient one. In modern terms it is seen as a possible means of reconciling the needs of groups of people with conflicting concepts of forest resource use. This volume is a collection of papers from international experts in a variety of fields discussing whether and how extractive reserves could be expanded economically and geographically to meet the dual objective of conserving the natural resources of tropical forests and developing tropical regions economically and socially.
