Orchidaceae of the Flora of the Greater Antilles

The Orchidaceae treatment for the FGA has just been submitted to the Memoirs of the New York Botanical Garden for consideration. There are about 585 species of orchids in the flora many of which have been described since work on the FGA began. Collaborators are John T. Atwood, Paul M. Brown, Marta A. Díaz, Ed Greenwood, Eric Hágsater, Carlyle A. Luer, Ernesto Mújica, Mark Nir, Gustavo Romero and Victoria Sosa. The principal illustrator is the award winning artist, Bobbi Angell.

Althought the manuscript has been submitted, work on the Orchidaceae continues unabated as classification changes and new taxa continue to stream in. In addition, I have contacted Bill Gould at the USDA's International Institute for Tropical Forestry (in San Juan) and this month he will have their GIS lab produce some basic maps of the region. I intend to have them printed on the inside cover (as in Pedro Acevedo's Flora of St. John). The maps will be available to all those that wish to use them in subsequent treatments of the FGA.—Jim Ackerman.

Upcoming Meetings of Regional Interest

IX Congreso Latinoamericano de Botánica, Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, 19–25 January 2006

Fifth International Conference on Serpentine Ecology, 9–13 May 2006

International Compositae Alliance: A Symposium: Botanic Institute of Barcelona., Barcelona, Spain, 25–29 June 2006

Invited talks are from 15 to 45 minutes. Contributed papers and talks (15 min) will be accepted (1 to 1/2 day devoted to them depending on how many people submit abstracts). Posters welcome on any topic related to Compositae; presenter does not have to attend. Contact: http://www.institutbotanic.bcn.es/compositae2006/inici.htm

Third International Rubiaceae Conference: K.U. Leuven, Belgium, 18–21 September 2006

Since the previous Rubiaceae conference in 1995, many new morphological and molecular data have been published. These data partly confirm previous classifications, but also provide new insights into the evolution and biogeography of this large family. The short Rubiaceae symposium during the XVII International Botanical Congress in Vienna made the need for a more prolonged meeting very evident. With the Third Rubiaceae Conference, we want to offer a forum to all Rubiaceae scientists to present the results they achieved in the last decade. The conference is also open to scientists working on other families of the Gentianales. The conference will consist of thematic sessions of lectures and a poster session.
