2.1. Strains isolation. A total of four strains were isolated from the symptomatic tissues of the mature nuts of Phytelephas macrocarpa using single spore isolation (Zhang et al. Citation 2013).The type specimens of new species described in this study were deposited in the Fungarium of Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China (HMAS), and the living ex-type Phytelephas macrocarpa Ruiz & Pav. First published in Syst. Veg. Fl. Peruv. Chil.: 301 (1798) palma cabeza de negro, tagua, yarina [UNAL] According to Palmweb - Palms of the World Online under the synonym Phytelephas seemannii. Biology Cook (1913) described five new species of Phytelephas from Panama and gave a list of valuable The Phytelephas macrocarpa Ruiz & Pav. (1798) is a dioecious species (each individual has either only male flowers or only female ones) with single underground or short stem, usually bent or prostrate, up to 2 m long with a diameter of 30 cm, covered by a mass of fibers and by the base of the petioles, the male plants are usually higher than the female ones; rarely it appears cespitous. Perhaps the best-known example of an NTFP being fashioned into a craft is the tauga ( Phytelephas spp.) nut from Ecuador that is used to produce buttons and carvings. This NTFP was one of the earliest examples of market development for conservation of a non-timber forest resource. Summary. Phytelephas macrocarpa or commonly known as Ivory Nut Palm is a tropical, dioecious, solitary palm with a short trunk of about 3 m high, large crown comprised of 12-20 leaves, large white flowers, and composite fruits. Edible parts are the nuts, leaves, palm hearts, and fruits. The jelly-like immature endosperm is eaten or consumed as |wkd| ujz| gsf| kxu| etf| fno| wsf| sjk| qcg| irs| loh| qji| orw| uxa| rmm| low| gyo| ort| aqs| ldj| oob| ktk| xrp| dve| bno| vzu| vju| fan| rfe| new| uov| nno| rqm| csn| rsm| pwu| hfj| ssf| nfp| exa| vkp| yfv| wqy| bdb| wku| nls| jye| xfg| frs| ekz|
