Plant collecting in Puerto Rico and Jamaica
Pedro Acevedo-Rodríguez
Earlier this year (2001), I obtained a grant from the International Institute of Tropical
Forestry (US Dept. Agriculture, Río Piedras, Puerto Rico) to continue my botanical exploration of the karst
limestone in northern Puerto Rico. This belt covers 142,544 ha and has the most spectacular karst features and
the largest continuous expanse of mature forest in Puerto Rico. This area is extremely important for the well-being
and preservation of wildlife and the freshwater aquifers in this densely populated island. During the summer, I
carried out the first forays into three of the ten areas selected for the study. These three areas, Sabana Hoyos,
Biáfara, and La Ceiba, are centered in the Municipio de Florida, northcentral Puerto Rico. The most interesting
of these areas was southern Sabana Hoyos. Aerial photographs from 1936 to the present showed the area to have had
a continuous forest cover, a very rare occurrence in Puerto Rico. Some of the rare endemic or threatened species
known from the area were confirmed to be still extant. This includes Ottoschulzia
rhodoxylum and the elusive Marsdenia elliptica, from which flowers were collected only once before, more than 100 years ago. The most striking
feature of this site is the presence of numerous trees that exceed the sizes previously reported for the species
in Puerto Rico. This work will continue in 2002 and will generate a lot of interesting data on the habitat and
composition of karst forests in Puerto Rico.
After the trip to Puerto Rico, I joined George R. Proctor, Institute of Jamaica, to explore the Dolphin Head Mountains,
northwestern Jamaica, in search of vascular plants. Dolphin Head is a small limestone mountain of karst and sinkholes,
covered by a dense forest, very high in plant diversity and local endemism. Although the history of botanical exploration
of this mountain dates back to the time of Olof Swartz (1780s), the flora is by no means completely known. So far
ca. 600 vascular plant species, some of which may be new to science, are known from this area of ca. 1300 ha. Results
from the field explorations are being compiled by Dr. Proctor and, hopefully, will weigh heavily in the decision
by Jamaican authorities to designate the area as a forest reserve.

The Smith Herbarium (LINN-Smith) contains 317 specimens from the Greater Antilles form the late 18th and early
19th centuries; the total database contains 27,108 specimen records based on ca. 20,000 herbarium sheets. Specimens
from Cuba include those from James Fraser (nurseryman), Olof Swartz (naturalist); Jamaica: Thomas Dancer (curator
of the Botanic Garden at Bath, 1788), James Everard Home (captain, Royal Navy), William Houston (ship's surgeon),
John Lindsay (rector of St. Thomas-ye-Vale), Francis Masson (seed collector from Kew), Archibald Menzies (ship's
surgeon & naturalist), Richard Shakespear, Hans Sloane (timbers ), Olof Swartz (vascular & nonvascular
plants), and William Wright (physician); St. Lucia: Alexander Anderson (St. Vincent Botanical Garden); Montserrat:
Henry H. Higgins (chaplain at Rainhill Asylum, bryophytes and lichens, possibly from other islands, also).
