“…These hats were so named because they were shipped to Panama and were made fashionable by miners heading west for the 1849 gold rush in California. These same hats continued their popularity through the building of the Panama Canal from 1870 -1911 (Fadiman 2001). The use of hats was popularized further by the revolutionary fighters in the Cuban war of independence, and by soldiers in the Spanish-American war (Fadiman 2001).…”

“…Weavers in Mexico have been making hats with C. palmata since this plant was introduced in Becal, Campeche in 1866 (Fadiman 2001). Fadiman (2001) writes that hat-weaving probably originated in Mexico with the Spaniards in 1519, since the Yucatec Maya did not have this custom. The Maya did weave sleeping and sitting mats, however, from the unopened palm fronds of Sabal mexicana Mart.…”

“…The Maya did weave sleeping and sitting mats, however, from the unopened palm fronds of Sabal mexicana Mart. During the colonial period Spaniards sought protection from the sun and asked indigenous people to modify their mat-making practice to accommodate hats (Fadiman 2001). As of the early 2000s, people in the region no longer made mats, and during the past fifty years hat weaving has evolved into a major local industry (Fadiman 2001).…”

“…Small pottery and stone figures dating from AD 500 to AD 1500 reveal that C. palmata was already used for making cloth in pre-Columbian times in Ecuador (Gallegos and Burbano 2004). While this plant is best known for its use in the Panama hat (Gallegos and Burbano 2004), it is also used for basketry (Runk 2001), roof thatching (Bennett 1992), and brooms (Bristol 1961, Bennett 1992, Fadiman 2001.…”

“…In Ecuador, Mexico, and Panama the leaves of C. palmata are processed for hat making using a process that softens and whitens the fibers (Fadiman 2001, Gallegos and Burbano 2004, Chízmar 2009. The veins are separated and the immature leaf is boiled, washed with cold water, and placed in the sun until it turns white in color.…”

The monocot family Cyclanthaceae (Pandanales) comprises ca. 230 known species in 12 genera restricted to the Neotropics. The family has not been the subject of a species‐level molecular phylogenetic study to date, with multiple evolutionary and biogeographic questions about Cyclanthaceae still unanswered. In this study, we address genus‐ and species‐level relationships and the historical biogeography of Cyclanthaceae based on a broadly sampled molecular phylogeny. Two low‐copy nuclear genes (phyC, rpb2) and five plastid regions (atpB‐rbcL, psbA‐trnH, trnL‐trnF, trnQ‐rps16, matK) representing 99 species and all genera of Cyclanthaceae were sampled, spanning the taxonomic and biogeographic diversity of the family. Our results strongly support the monophyly of all Cyclanthaceae genera and confirm previously proposed hypotheses of intergeneric relationships. Infrageneric relationships are generally well supported, with some exceptions in the genus Asplundia that may require a broader sampling to clarify. The early diversification of Cyclanthaceae is estimated to date back to the Paleocene‐Eocene period in South America, where the family possibly arrived through a boreotropical route. The origin of most genera is inferred from the Paleocene of the Tumbes‐Chocó‐Magdalena region, possibly indicating an earlier origin for this biodiversity hotspot. The current distribution of Cyclanthaceae is likely to have been strongly influenced by major biogeographical events in the Neotropics, such as the uplift of the Andes and the opening of the South America dry diagonal. Further studies that include a broader sample of the large Asplundia‐Dicranopygium clade and Sphaeradenia group are required.

Carludovica palmata is a Neotropical plant with a promising potential for the agroindustry. It is an important source of fibers used to manufacture handmade goods. Colombia is one of the leading countries in the production of this species; however, it lacks efficient techniques for its propagation. We developed a protocol for massive micropropagation of C. palmata using a temporary immersion bioreactor (TIB) system. Immersion frequency, immersion time, culture medium volume, and explant density were evaluated using a split-split-plot design. The variables evaluated were the number and length of shoots and roots, the number of leaves, and the dry weight of shoots. The performance of three micropropagation systems, TIB, semi-solid medium, and liquid medium, was evaluated using a generalized randomized block design. Murashige and Skoog (MS) culture medium with 1.0 mg L−1 of 6-benzylaminopurine, 0.5 mg L−1 of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid, and 20 g L−1 of sucrose added to it was used. The results obtained show a frequency of 12 h with an immersion time of 1 min improved the length of shoots, roots, and number of leaves, and dry weight. A volume of 20 mL/explant was found to be an adequate condition to increase the number and length of shoots, the number of leaves, and the dry weight. According to the optimization module, the factor levels that will maximize the evaluated variables are a 1-minute immersion of the tissues in the culture medium with a frequency of 12 hours each time, with 175 mL of culture medium per bioreactor and density of 10 explants. In conclusion, TIB was shown to be efficient for massive micropropagation of C. palmata compared with conventional methods.
