With assistance from the International Palm Society and NSF,            Cornell University and its Bailey Hortorium will host an                        international symposium on the biology and evolution of palms.                  Fields of coverage include systematics, biogeography, palynology                and anatomy, pollination and hybridization, preliminary DNA                     analyses, ecology, and economic uses.  A major goal of the                      meeting is to chart new paths of research on this important group               of tropical plants.  Further, the meeting will coincide with                    publication of a monumental encyclopedia of palm biology, Genera                Palmarum, research for which has been supported by NSF for                      several years.                                                                          The travel grant will help cover expenses for nine foreign              scientists from Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America, a truly                international gathering, all of whom will give presentations at                 the meetings.  The symposium is organized by Drs. Natalie Uhl, a                world-recognized expert on palm biology, and David Young, the                   director of the Bailey Hortorium, a major center for many years                 of palm research.
