FLORA OF THE GREATER ANTILLES NEWSLETTER

No. 7 - April 1995


Telephoning Directly to Cuba from the USA

In late November, 1994, several of the long distance telephone call carriers, including AT & T, MCI, Sprint, and TLD (Puerto Rico), started to offer direct dialing for calls to Cuba.

If you are subscribers to these services, the method is now quite simple. Follow the usual pattern that you use for international long distance calls. Telephone numbers in Cuba are connected using 011-53-(city code)-telephone number desired. Note that 011 is the international code and 53 is the country code for Cuba. City codes for Cuba include Camagüey 32, Ciego de Avila 33, Cienfuegos 43, Granma 23, Guanajay 686, Guantánamo 21, Habana (city) 7, Holguín 24, Isla Juventud 61, Las Villas 42, Matanzas 5, Provincia Habana 6, Pinar del Río 8, Sancti Spiritus 41, Santiago de Cuba 22, and Villa Clara 42.It seems that the city codes adjust the shorter local phone numbers for the computerized long distance calls. AT & T's operator can be contacted at the toll free number 1-700-460-1000.

Centre Technique de Coopération Agricole et Rurale

The Technical Center for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation was established in 1983 by what is now the European Union for assistance to countries participating in the Lomé Convent, of which Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic of the Greater Antilles are signatory members. Many of the Lesser Antilles islands are members too. The Center provides access to information, conducts research, and takes innovations to the field in the areas of agricultural and rural development. They could be contacted for information and publications on crops. The address is:

What Happened to All Those Provinces?

Thomas A. Zanoni

Dealing with older literature and especially older herbarium labels leaves one in a quandary when all that a person has is a modern or recent map or atlas. The investigator is exasperated for locations in the Antillean islands since most atlases usually give little detail to any of the islands; few show where current province or department lines are located.

The work on the Flora of the Greater Antilles requires checking localities of types and especially non-types to describe the geographical distribution of a species. Our specimens, particularly those with some indication of locality span about two centuries. Many of the place names (see Howard, 1988, and Underwood, 1905) are difficult to find on maps. When mention of a province or department is made, it is based on a system which is quite different from that indicated on our modern maps. For example, when specimens of Charles Wright cite locations in Provincia Oriente in Cuba, we encounter some localities little known on our recent maps and, worse yet, the province no longer exists.

A search was made to find maps of Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic for different time periods to indicate what and where were the provinces. The Nuevo Atlas Nacional de Cuba (Oliva Gutierrez, 1989) provided a very useful comparison of the provinces for the years 1774, 1827, 1878, 1953, 1970, and 1976. One can immediately see what Wright was calling Oriente province on the map of 1827, which shows provinces as they were in his time (1856-1857 and 1858-1867) in Cuba. The province (as Oriente or Santiago de Cuba) existed, with minor variations in its western boundary until the 1976 reorganization of Cuban provinces. Another major collector of plants in Cuba, Erik L. Ekman, used provinces in the years 1914-1924, which can be found on the map of 1878. It is important to note that some of the provinces changed names during he last two centuries even if they did not have major realignments, whereas others may have been divided and the original name continued in use with new boundaries, e.g., Departamento Occidental or de La Habana of 1774 became Deptos. Occidental and Central by 1827, and then disappeared as Occidental but persisted as a newly defined Provincia La Habana by 1878, which was greatly altered by the loss of Isla de Pinos (now Isla de la Juventud) in 1976.

A search for maps of Haiti and the Dominican Republic did not result in a series of maps over the two centuries as in the case of Cuba. The dates of when the various Dominican provinces were chartered shows a gradual increment in the number of provinces over the years. It was decided that the first map of provinces of the Dominican Republic for the time of Ekman (1920's) would be needed to show in comparison to a current map. The same decision was made for the case of Haiti. The reason for these decisions is strongly based on the fact that Ekman was the principal collector of the earlier part of this century who used provinces on his herbarium labels for Dominican plants and departments for his Haitian plants. Almost all other collectors did not use regional designations on their labels.

Needless to say, the pre-1900's labels for Hispaniolan plants do not have regional designations. We are fortunate that some mention a local town name! [Note: Early specimens taken from Hispaniola may mention Santo Domingo or St. Domingue on them. Most of these labels are referring to the names of the island. It is not rare to see modern citations of types from the 1700's and 1800's being cited as coming from the Dominican Republic, when the original citation was "Santo Domingo" (or "St. Domingue"), a name that was also popularly applied (even to the present time!) to what became the Dominican Republic in 1844. It is necessary to check Urban (1902) for collectors' itineraries to determine whether a particular locality citation refers to modern Dominican Republic or Haiti. Needless to say, that an assumption that Santo Domingo refers to the modern city of the same name is probably wrong. Few types or non-types were collected there until more recent times!]

A Cactus Collecting Expedition to the West Indies
25 December 1994-31 January 1995

Alberto Areces-Mallea
New York Botanical Garden
Bronx, NY 10458-5126, U.S.A.

I received a grant from the Cactus and Succulent Society of America to study cacti in the West Indies, and in particular to try and refind a population of a cactus from Haiti that was only known from a 1929 collection made by Leonard, with duplicates deposited in GH, NY and US. From the single collection this Haitian cactus appeared to represent a new genus. So, with the grant, my main objectives were:

  1. To search for this apparently new Cactoideae from NW Haiti.
  2. To search for a Mammillaria species previously known from a single Jamaican herbarium specimen from the Cockpit Country, and identified in Adams' "The Flowering Plants of Jamaica" as M. aff. columbiana.
  3. To study material in the field of the taxon from SW Dominican Republic reported in the literature by Pfeiffer as Melocactus communis var. macrocephalus.
  4. To taxonomically assess a central Puerto Rican population of Melocactus intortus with very small individuals.
  5. To search for and taxonomically assess the species of Opuntia in Haiti collected by Ekman, e.g., O. falcata, O. acaulis, O. ekmanii and O. microcarpa.

To realize these objectives I had a convoluted flight itinerary because of the various visa restrictions imposed by the islands I was visiting, as well as airline flight schedules. My trip took me from New York to Santo Domingo to San Juan to Miami to Port-au-Prince to Miami to Kingston and finally back to New York. In the Dominican Republic I visited Bayahibe, Cabo Engaño, Azua, Barahona, Cabo Rojo, Pedernales, Lake Enriquillo area, Montecristi and Dajabón. In Puerto Rico I went to Boquerón, Guánica, Maricao, Cayey and Sierra Bermeja. In Haiti I travelled to Etang-Saumatre, Gonaives, Morne-Saint-Nicholas, Jean Rabel, Port-de-Paix and Saline Saint Michel. Finally, in Jamaica I visited Morant Bay, Hellshire Hills, Spanish Town area, Alligator Pond, Sanguinetti, Long Bay, Great Pedro Bluff and the Cockpit Country.

I was very successful in fulfilling my objectives. In Hispaniola I was able to relocate the cactus in NW Haiti that initially appeared to be a new genus. It turns out to be a new arborescent species of Leptocereus. The Melocactus from the Dominican Republic, previously reported as M. communis (a Jamaican species), is a new species, unrelated to the Jamaican taxon. Finally, I was able to relocate Opuntia acaulis and O. microcarpa but was unable to find O. falcata, even though I visited the type locality. It seems possible that the species is now extinct. I was also unable to find O. ekmanii in the field. Also, related to Hispaniola, Dr. Alain Liogier, now in Puerto Rico, requested that I write the Cactaceae for his "Flora de La Española." In Puerto Rico I was able to find the population of Melocactus intortus. From my observations it appears to be a new variety of that species. Despite a thorough, hands-and-knees search, I was unable to relocate Opuntia borinquensis, and suspect that it is now extinct. However, I was able to find what appears to be a new variety of O. moniliformis for Puerto Rico. Also, in Puerto Rico I have been able to grow almost all the cacti I have found in my travels and they are doing well and flowering. This garden in on the estate of Victor González, who has assisted me in many ways in my study of West Indian cacti. In Jamaica I was able to relocate the Mammillaria known previously from a single collection in the Cockpit Country. It is not M. columbiana (= M. eriacantha, a species from central Mexico) as reported but rather a new species. Mammillaria eriacantha is a yellow-flowered species known from Mexico to South America. This Jamaican material is red-flowered, among other differences. New for Jamaica I found Acanthocereus pentagonus. Fortunately, I was also able to relocate and collect the rare Jamaican endemic, Disocactus alatus. With very few exceptions, all known species of cacti from Hispaniola, Jamaica and Puerto Rico were collected. This greatly complements my field knowledge of Cuban cacti. I was able to assess the conservation status of the cacti as part of an ongoing study in which I am involved. This trip would not have been possible without the assistance of many individuals and organizations. First, I thank the Cactus and Succulent Society of America for a grant that made the trip possible. In the Dominican Republic collecting would not have been possible were it not for the facilities provided by the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo. In Jamaica and Puerto Rico I availed myself of the indispensable aid of Dr. George Proctor and Victor González, respectively.
