Field trip to Pedernales and San Juan, Dominican Republic
James D. Ackerman
This summer I joined colleagues, Norris Williams, Mark Whitten, Barbara Carlsward (University of Florida), and Raymond Tremblay (University of Puerto Rico-Humacao), to obtain material for the Flora of the Greater Antilles, and various systematic and anatomical studies of the Orchidaceae. The trip was very short but fruitful. Our friends at the Jardín Botánico Nacional JBSD, in Santo Domingo, welcomed us with their usual hospitality and gave us some orientation. At the conclusion of our trip they helped dry our material and sent it to us when it was done. For all their help over the years I am particularly grateful. Some major changes in collecting policies have occurred over this year in the Dominican Republic. Permit applications for collecting in national parks and reserves are very involved and may take months to obtain. What was not evident at the time, is that a permit is now required for collecting anywhere in the country. Additional rules changes include the following: collaboration with Dominican colleagues (certainly a reasonable requirement!), no live material may be exported, and no "genetic material" for any reason (e.g., molecular systematics) may leave the country. Our friends at JBSD are almost as frustrated as we are because they are adversely affected by some rules changes too. Unfortunately, they have little to say in these matters except that they are quite willing to establish collaborations via "convenios" or some other type of arrangement. Please contact the Jardín Botánico Nacional, j.botanico@codetel.net.do, well in advance of any collecting trip to the Dominican Republic to find out what permits apply to your proposed field collecting. A new law will be passed that will affect collection of biological specimens, so keep in contact with JBSD.
Progress on the Orchidaceae treatment for the FGA
James D. Ackerman
A complete manuscript for the FGA Orchidaceae should be done by summer, 2003. Most generic
treatments have been completed with a few remaining to be done. I have taken a sabbatical leave from the University
of Puerto Rico to spend time at the Florida Natural History Museum of the University of Florida to work on editing
the manuscript and to finish off the treatments of the remaining genera. J. Atwood, M. Díaz, E. Greenwood,
E. Hágsater, C. Luer, M. Nir, G. Romero, and V. Sosa have all either completed their contributions or have
submitted substantial parts of their work. Bobbi Angell has done most of the illustrations with just a few more
genera to be illustrated yet.

This book is a compendium of almost all that is known about the native orchids (102 species, 5 of which are endemic) of Guadaloupe (an archipelago which includes Basse Terre and Grande Terre, forming the island of Guadeloupe, proper). The treatment of each species fills two pages. One page includes a description; notes on biology and ecology on Guadeloupe; a general statement of global distribution and specific islands of the Lesser Antilles; and the conservation status. The facing page includes the distribution of each taxon on a colored topographic map and one (or two) clear, well-printed color photograph(s), showing of the flower and sometimes the foliage or whole plant.
The field work by the authors for the book began in the 1980s and ran through the 1990s, so much of the information is quite recent. As might be expected from the concentrated field work, the authors of the book also have been the most prolific workers and authors on the island's Orchidaceae. The distributional information resulted mainly from their extensive field work and examination of herbarium specimens. All the species were found on Basse Terre, which reaches a maximum elevation of 1467 m; only a few are noted for Grande Terre, maximum elevation ca. 100 m.
The authors are to be congratulated for the summation of their field and herbarium work in this beautifully illustrated and printed book which will be useful for the orchid specialist, naturalists, and land use planners. - Review by T. Zanoni.
