Typification of the two Arariba names published by Martius and of the two Pinckneya names published by Allemão &amp; Saldanha, synonymous with the names of two species of Simira (Rubiaceae, Condamineeae)

Martius described the genus Arariba, with two species, A. rubra and A. alba from material collected in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro, which are here lectotypified. Twelve years later, Allemão and Saldanha described Pinckneya rubescens and P. viridiflora, also from material collected in Rio de Janeiro; the holotypes of these two Pinckneya names have recently been found in the Herbarium of the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro. After comparative studies of their types and recent collections, we concluded that these taxa are synonymous with Simira alba (Mart.) comb. nov. and Simira rubra. Comments on typification and critical historical collections of all taxa involved are also provided.

A preliminary publication is given of the stela Cat. 2442 of the National Museum at Rio de Janeiro, which features a couple, Raia and Maia, of about the Nineteenth Dynasty, worshipping Osiris with a short hymn. Raia's only title is q-d̲-n (in group-writing), otherwise unknown in Egyptian (and different from kd̲n/kt̲n, ‘charioteer’). This word is probably a loan from West Semitic qṣ, ‘commander/leader/boss’; perhaps Raia had been so termed by foreigners in his charge.

Research Facilities

Throughout its 200 years, the Museu Nacional (National Museum) in Rio de Janeiro has been the principal museum of natural history in Brazil. It certainly has been among the most important research institutions in the Americas. Many of the greatest national and international scholars worked in or visited its collections, exhibitions, and laboratories. Botanists, zoologists, ecologists, geologists, paleontologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, and so many other scientists frequented the research facilities of the São Cristóvão Palace, its hallways, internal gardens, associated buildings, and park. They established friendships, scientific partnerships, and antagonisms, engaging in intense and productive exchanges that advanced science in each discipline yet with a multidisciplinary spirit. This thriving space, which we all always referred to as “our home,” was utterly destroyed by the tragedy of September 2018, when we watched in astonishment as the fire consumed our lives.

O estudo do paulatino estrangulamento do tráfico internacional de escravos para o Brasil permitiu detectar a grande elasticidade demográfica do comércio atlântico e de seus padrões expressos no tráfico interno, tomado como parte de um único mercado. Destacamos na presente investigação a existência de um mercado interno fortemente competitivo; concentrado embora não monopolístico; portador de uma racionalidade intrínseca, pois suas oscilações denotavam a presença de agentes econômicos capazes de realizar previsões a curto e médio prazo; e cujas taxas de lucratividade repousavam na multiplicação do número de empresas, e não no aumento da quantidade de escravos transportados por cada uma delas. As crianças africanas e crioulas revelaram-se de grande importância diante da conjuntura de ataque ao tráfico internacional, por meio do trânsito em geral solitário de meninos e de meninas, descortinando a busca da reprodução da plantation via potencial produtivo e reprodutivo a médio e curto prazo. Dificilmente nos será dado conhecer registros tão completos para o estudo do tráfico interno de escravos como os assentamentos gerados pela Seção de Passaportes da Intendência Geral de Polícia. Espera-se que estudos comparativos com outras regiões da América permitam compreender melhor a dinâmica de funcionamento e a lógica empresarial do tráfico interno brasileiro, não apenas ao longo das primeiras décadas do século XIX, mas em especial em períodos anteriores.Palavras-chave: Rio de Janeiro - tráfico interno de escravos - crianças escravizadas. Abstract: Studying the gradual strangulation of international slave trade coming to Brazil reveals the great demographic elasticity of Atlantic commerce, along with internal traffic patterns expressed in this singular Atlantic market. This paper highlights the existence of a strongly competitive internal market that was concentrated, but not monopolistic. The presence of economic agents capable of making short and medium-term forecasts in an oscillating market denotes an intrinsic rationality. Profitability rested on multiplying the number of trading companies, not on increasing the number of slaves transported by each company. Additionally, an international traffic under attack for the solitary transit of African and Creole children reveals the need for Brazilian plantations to reproduce labor via biological and economic means in both the medium and short-terms. Although police records of internal slave traffic in regional settlements are incomplete, we expect comparative studies with other regions of the Americas to result in a better understanding of the functional dynamics and entrepreneurial logics of Brazil’s internal slave traffic during the colonial era and after independence.Keywords: Rio de Janeiro - internal slave trade - slave children.

Tripogandra warmingiana is one of many poorly known and infrequently collected taxa of Commelinaceae in Brazil, and previously was known exclusively from the type collection and few historical collections from Minas Gerais. It is reported here for the first time for the states of Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, where it occurs exclusively in the Atlantic Rainforest, between 50–800 elev. A new description is provided to better characterize the species. A newly revised key for the Brazilian species of the genus is presented that includes the new data presented here for T. warmingiana and some overlooked species. Commentaries on IUCN conservation status are also presented.
