摘要

Montgomery Botanical Center (MBC) in Coral Gables, Florida, stewards a botanical treasure — the largest cycad collection in the Western Hemisphere. This collection is the fulfillment of Colonel Robert H. Montgomery's dream of growing a wide diversityof cycads and palms at his estate. MBC now has two thirds of extant species, with 3,191 plants on the grounds, and about twice that many in the nursery. Ongoing fieldwork is steadily increasing these numbers and contributing new discoveries. Cycads areexceptional among living plants, surviving for nearly 300 million years since the Paleozoic. The world's oldest seed plants, predating the dinosaurs, they peaked in abundance and diversity in the Mesozoic. Although cycads have cones, they are not closely related to conifers and ginkgoes. Whereas today only one Ginkgo species remains, there are around three hundred known cycad species, with more being described. Cycads mostly have restricted ranges today.

Montgomery上校的梦想，即在他的庄园内种植多种苏铁和棕榈树。 MBC现在有三分之二的现存物种，地面上有3,191株植物，苗圃中的数量大约是后者的两倍。正在进行的实地调查正在稳步增加这些数字并贡献新发现。苏铁科植物是有生命的植物，自古生代以来存活了近3亿年。它们是世界上最古老的种子植物，早于恐龙，它们在中生代的丰度和多样性达到顶峰。尽管苏铁科植物有圆锥体，但它们与针叶树和银杏没有密切关系。如今，仅剩下一种银杏物种，而大约有300种已知的苏铁科物种，其中有更多被描述。如今，苏铁科植物的射程大多受限。
