Listed below are plant species of the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area (RBCMA), with a few additional species from the adjacent land of Gallon Jug Agroindustries, Inc. The RBCMA covers about 104,000 hectares in northwest Belize at approximately 17°45’ N and 88°55’ W. It is in the subtropical moist life zone of the Holdridge Life Zone System (Hartshorn et al. 1984) and receives about 1500 mm of rainfall per year, with a dry season in the early part of the year. The area ranges from about 20 to 220 m elevation, with small hills, much fairly level terrain, seasonally wet depressions, and a few ravines and steep escarpments. Soils are limestone-derived. Major vegetation types include: upland forest in a range of subtle variety, cohune palm (Attalea cohune) forest, riparian forest, scrub swamp forest (“bajo”), savanna, marsh, and wamil (overgrown milpa). The RBCMA is managed by the Programme for Belize.
Many of the species in the list have been identified at the Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG) from specimens collected in the RBCMA by N. Brokaw and M. Schulze from October 1991 to June 1992. A few were identified by N. Brokaw (noted as “det. N.B.”) at the Gray Herbarium, Harvard University, or by botanists at the New York Botanical Garden. Those specimens identified at herbaria are indicated by the name of a botanical authority following the species name and a specimen collection number (Brokaw & Schulze) in the appropriate column. For genera that have been formally identified from a specimen, yet for which there was not adequate material to determine the species, no botanical authority is indicated, but a collection number is given. In this list some species identifications by the MBG are qualified by “cf.”, meaning usually that the collection appears to be the species named but additional material is needed for a firm identification. Some species names in the list without the qualifying “cf.” are followed by multiple collection numbers that include both firm and qualified identifications. In the list of palms, names from the identifcations at the MBG are used, but new names from the recent work by Henderson et al. (1995) are given in brackets.
Species in the list without collection numbers have usually only been identified in the field (N. Brokaw) and should be considered provisional records until specimens are collected and formally identified. Collecting and field identification by Brokaw and Schulze have concentrated on trees.
We emphasize that this is a preliminary plant list; many additional plant species are present at in the RBCMA. Only a tiny fraction of species in the non-tree growth forms in the RBCMA is listed.
Common names (Wright et al. 1959, Hartshorn et al. 1984), and growth form as observed in the RBCMA, are also given in the list. Meanings of growth form codes are:
Tl | – | large tree: mature individuals greater than 20 m height |
Tm | – | medium tree: mature individuals 10 – 20 m height |
Ts | – | small tree: mature individuals less than 10 m in height |
T | – | tree: mature height unknown to the authors |
S | – | shrub: usually multiple stemmed; mature individuals less than 5 m in height |
H | – | herb |
L | – | liana (vine) |
He | – | hemi-epiphyte |
St | – | strangler |
Collection numbers with an asterisk (*) indicate specimens deposited in the herbarium at the MBG. Duplicates of these, as well as the other specimens, are in possession of N. Brokaw and will eventually be deposited in herbaria in Belize. Exotic species are indicated by two asterisks (**) following the species name.
We thank the many botanists at the MBG who identified our specimens.
