Abstract:
The Antillean genus Leptocereus represents an in-situ radiation among the Greater and Lesser Antilles of 19 currently recognized species. Extensive fieldwork carried out in the Dominican Republic over recent years has revealed that the species limits of Leptocereus of Hispaniola are more complex than previously thought. There are four currently recognized species that occur on the island, L. demissus, L. paniculatus, L. undulosus and L. weingartianus. We evaluate species limits in this group based on DNA sequence data and phylogenetic analysis, morphological characters and a survey of herbarium specimens from across Hispaniola. Based on our analyses, it is clear that at least five species occur on the island of Hispaniola, with the new species from Sierra de Bahoruco, L. velozianus, described here. We provide an identification key, distribution maps and photographic plates for all species on Hispaniola based on our own fieldwork and the study of herbarium specimens. The description of yet another species of Leptocereus on Hispaniola reiterates the importance of the poorly studied, but yet biodiverse, seasonally dry tropical forest in the Antilles.

Abstract:
Antecedentes y Objetivos: Los estudios fenológicos han mostrado su utilidad para entender la dinámica de los ecosistemas y pueden ser útiles para la conservación de especies vegetales. En cactáceas son escasos los estudios que evalúan la fenología reproductiva y vegetativa, en particular sobre especies de bosques semideciduos. El presente estudio aborda diferentes aspectos de la fenología de Leptocereus scopulophilus, una cactácea amenazada y endémica presente en un bosque semideciduo de Cuba occidental. Este estudio tiene como objetivos principales caracterizar la fenología de L. scopulophilus, comparar su comportamiento interanual con diferentes regímenes de precipitación y evaluar las relaciones entre las fenofases y las variables ambientales. Métodos: Se seleccionaron 50 individuos adultos y se registraron, mensualmente durante tres años, el número de botones, flores, frutos, así como el crecimiento vegetativo y los retrocesos de una rama seleccionada al azar. Se evaluaron mensualmente el porcentaje de iluminación, la temperatura, la humedad relativa y las precipitaciones. Los patrones anuales e interanuales de cada fenofase fueron comparados mediante estadística circular. La relación existente entre variables ambientales y las fenofases se evaluó con una correlación de Spearman. Resultados clave: Los patrones de floración y fructificación resultaron unimodales con máximos desfasados en un mes. La floración coincidió con el final de la época seca y la fructificación ocurrió al inicio de la época lluviosa. El crecimiento vegetativo fue generalmente de forma aleatoria y simultáneo a la reproducción, mientras el retroceso de las ramas sucedió durante la época lluviosa. La variable más correlacionada con las fenofases fue la iluminación. Conclusiones: La apertura del dosel del bosque semideciduo donde habita L. scopulophilus favorece la reproducción y el crecimiento de sus ramas. Este evento estuvo modulado por la duración e intensidad de las lluvias de la temporada previa.

Abstract:
Studies of seed mucilage in a number of species suggest that it has multiple ecological roles dependent on species and their environmental context. We evaluate whether mucilage facilitates seed germination for Leptocereus scopulophilus Areces, as well as whether light conditions influence the effect of the mucilage. Three combined treatments of light conditions: (1) shade (10% of sunlight), (2) semi-shade (30% of sunlight), and (3) full light exposure (100% of sunlight), and two seed types (with mucilage and washed) were used. Germinability was affected by light conditions but no effect of mucilage was found; higher germination occurred in shade than in semi-shade conditions. There was no germination in full light conditions. Germination rate (T50) was not affected by light conditions or by the mucilage, or the interaction of both factors. Minimal time to germination (Tmin) was affected by mucilage; seeds with mucilage germinated 2 days later than washed seeds. Thus, facilitation for imbibition of water does not occur in L. scopulophilus seeds. Perhaps the presence of mucilage in seeds of this species serves other purposes such as seed adhesion to soil or to deter predators.
