Butia Microspadix
''Butia microspadix'' is a very small species of grass-like ''Butia'' palm usually with an underground trunk; native to the states of Paraná and São Paulo in Brazil. It has been given the common name dwarf woolly jelly palm in English. It is locally known as ''butiazinho-do-campo'' or just ''butiazinho'' in Portuguese.

Max Burret
Karl Ewald Maximilian Burret, commonly known as Max Burret (6 June 1883 – 19 September 1964) was a German botanist. Burret was born in Saffig near Andernach in the Prussian Rhine Province. He originally studied law at Lausanne and Munich at the instigation of his father. Burret had a greater interest in natural science than in law, and he eventually abandoned his law studies to conduct botanical research in Berlin, where he earned a Ph.D in 1909 for his Taxonomic thesis, and quickly became one of Germany's most prominent botanists. Burret participated in many botanical science organizations in Germany, taking up leadership positions, such as Assistant at the Berlin Botanical Museum and Garden from 1909 to 1911, as well as Botanical Assistant and Lecturer at the Botanical Institute of the Agricultural College in Berlin in 1911 through 1921.

Butia Archeri
''Butia archeri'' is a small species of ''Butia'' palm with a short trunk native to the states of Goiás, Brasília, Minas Gerais and São Paulo in Brazil. It has been given the common name dwarf jelly palm in English. Local common names which have been recorded for this species are ''coqueirinho-do-campo'', ''butiazinho'' and ''vassourinha''. Taxonomy Sidney Fredrick Glassman first described this species in 1967 from a specimen collected by William Andrew Archer (no. 4048) in Minas Gerais. Glassman named the new species after the collector. Initially he considered it a type of '' Syagrus'', because it had unarmed petioles. Among the many characters Odoardo Beccari used to distinguish the genus ''Butia'' from ''Syagrus'' in 1916, Glassman considered the most important to be the three seeds or locules in fruit, the presence of spines along the margins of the petiole, and the smooth rather than plicate spathes. Because Glassman had classified ''Butia archeri'' as a ''Syagrus'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
