New Brazilian Palm Society!

[Cindy Adair]

The IPS welcomes the palm world’s newest family member – Sociedade Brasileira de Palmeiras (SBP).

Brazil is one of the epicenters of palms, and the recently founded SBP aims at bringing together people and entities directly and indirectly linked to the production, commercialization, conservation, and study of palms.  

The SBP was officially inaugurated during a three-day event at Instituto Inhotim last November. 

Congratulations!

 

IPS dá as boas-vindas ao mais novo membro da família internacional das palmeiras - a Sociedade Brasileira de Palmeiras (SBP).

O Brasil é um dos epicentros das palmeiras, e a recém-fundada SBP tem como objetivo reunir pessoas e entidades direta e indiretamente ligadas à produção, comercialização, conservação e estudo das palmeiras.  

A SBP foi oficialmente estabelecida durante um evento de três dias que ocorreu no Instituto Inhotim em novembro passado. 

Parabéns!

I had the pleasure of visiting Inhotim back in 2008 and I was quite impressed with the diversity of palm species they had.  I'm happy to know of this new group!

Wonderful news. There are so many incredible public gardens, private reserves and amazing palm nurseries in Brazil.  And let’s not forget palms in habitat. I can’t wait to hear all about the  exploits of this new society in these pages. Thank you Cindy.

O Brasil tem muitas espécies de palmeiras, são incontáveis, eu gostaria de visitar esse belo país um dia. É uma pena que a maioria das espécies de palmeiras que crescem na américa do sul não sejam importadas ao meu país. Estão infravaloradas.

Parabéns

Only one photo from me. When I visited Inhotim as part of the Rio Biennial, I took this photo of Syagrus ruschiana. I now have four of them planted in front of my house.

At the time, everyone was excited about the miniature palms being found in Minas Gerais and adjacent states, but I have not seen or heard of any recent discussion of them. What happened?

 

[mike in kurtistown]

I was especially interested in the miniature Syagrus species when I was at the Rio biennial and the Minas Gerais post tour, and took plenty of pictures. Looking at my files a little while ago, I see I have pics of 19 different species of the miniatures.
