“…Arecaceae (Palmae; 183–188 genera, ca. 2600 species) are mainly distributed in the tropics and subtropics (Dransfield et al, 2008; Baker et al, 2009; Palmweb, 2015; Trias‐Blasi et al, in press). The most recognizable synapomorphies for the family are the perennial habit with “wood” derived from primary growth; plicate (folded) leaves in bud; and inflorescences subtended by the prophyll (Uhl et al, 1995; Baker et al, 2009).…”

“…are among the most striking plants of the understory of tropical Asian forests and yet they remain remarkably understudied. Tacca (including Schizocapsa ) is a monophyletic genus of about 20 species (Lim and Raguso ) of (irregularly‐) seasonally dormant tuberous‐stemmed geophytes or rhizomatous evergreen mesophytes of still uncertain relationship within Dioscoreales (Caddick et al , Wilkin et al , Merckx et al , , Merckx and Smets , Hertweck et al , Trias‐Blasi et al ). Tacca is particularly speciose in humid tropical and subtropical Asia, with four species ( Tacca lanceolata , T. parkeri , T. sprucei and T. ulei ) in the American tropics, and two species ( T. ankaranensis and T. artocarpifolia ) on Madagascar.…”

We investigated the floral characteristics, floral biology and floral visitors of the six Bornean Tacca species: T. bibracteata (only floral characteristics), T. borneensis, T. havilandii, T. leontopetaloides, T. palmata and T. reducta, and T. cristata from Peninsular Malaysia. All species are protogynous with pollen strings extruded post flower opening. Blooming of all species started from dawn except for T. leontopetaloides which flowered from dusk. While T. borneensis, T. cristata, T. havilandii, T. leontopetaloides and T. reducta are facultatively autogamic as the pollen/ovule ratios (P/O ratios) were low, T. bibracteata is facultatively xenogamic as its P/O ratio was higher. Four species (T. borneensis, T. cristata, T. havilandii and T. reducta) were tested for autonomous self‐pollination but all failed to set fruit. Manual self‐ and cross‐pollination treatments of T. borneensis, T. cristata and T. havilandii showed reduced fruit set and seed set. In contrast, T. reducta was highly self‐compatible. The showy bracts and bracteoles of T. borneensis are needed to guarantee pollination success but is not so in the other species investigated. Tacca are pollinated by two pollination guilds of female midges: two species of Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) and Culicoides hinnoi. The floral biology and mating system of Tacca species indicate that most fruits and seeds were produced in samples resulting from natural pollination.

The Patauá (Oenocarpus bataua Mart.) also known as Bataua or Patuá, is a palm native from the Amazon, consumed among the local populations as well as the wine obtained from its pulp with high energy value. It is a monocle palm tree reaching between 4-26 meters tall, distributed in the Amazon rainforest both in the wet forest of floodplains. The objective of this work was to study the proximal, mineralogical composition, as well as the total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of pulp and seed of Patauá. As for mineral composition, the high concentrations of sodium for the seed (84.21 mg 100 g-1) and pulp (71.21 mg 100 g-1), as well as magnesium values of 48.31 mg 100 g-1 for the seed and 41.23 mg 100 g-1 for the pulp. Among the micronutrients, the high concentration of iron in the pulp is 1.84 mg 100 g-1 for the pulps, and the manganese was 1.10 mg 100 g-1 for the seeds. The total phenolic compounds found in the seeds were relatively higher than for the pulps with values of 356.12 ± 0.12 mg GAEq g-1 and 321.03 ± 0.43 mg GAEq g-1, as well as the more significant antioxidant activity for the seeds than for the pulp. Carotenoids concentration in the seeds found of 2.52 ± 0.04 mg mL-1 and vitamin C concentrations were also quantified in trace concentrations, presenting the fruits of Patauá high biotechnological interest in the food and cosmetic industry.
