Natalie Whitford Uhl

American botanist (1919-2017).

Natalie Whitford Uhl (1919–2017) was an American botanist who specialised in palms. The eldest of three sisters, she grew up on a farm in Rhode Island. She graduated B.S in 1940 from Rhode Island State College, publishing two papers on general plant morphology with Vernon Cheadle, her senior year advisor, the same year. In 1940 she went to Cornell University, earning her M.S. in 1943, and her Ph.D. in 1947. While at Cornell, she met and married her husband, Charles Uhl, abandoning botany to start a family. Her work with palms began in 1963, when she returned to Cornell to work with Harold E. M

Marojejya darianii (Big Leaf Palm) J.Dransf. & N.W.Uhl 1984
endangered plant species in the arecaceae family
Marojejya darianii, the big-leaf palm or Ravimbe Palm, is a species of flowering palm tree in the Palm Family (Arecaceae or Palmae). It is found only in the rainforests of northeastern Madagascar and was completely unknown to the larger world until 1984 when it was discovered by Dr. Mardy Darian. It is critically endangered, and threatened with extinction due to habitat loss. It is important because it bears the largest simple leaves (undivided, unlobed) of any known tree; up to thirty feet (9.1 meters) long by up to four feet (1.2 meters) wide.
Oraniopsis appendiculata (Oraniopsis) (F.M.Bailey) J.Dransf., A.K.Irvine & N.W.Uhl 1985
plant species in the arecaceae family
Oraniopsis is a monotypic genus of flowering plant in the palm family from Queensland, Australia, where the only known species, Oraniopsis appendiculata, grows in mountainous rainforest. Dioecious and extremely slow growing, the name means "similar to Orania" and the Latin epithet translates to "appendaged".

critically endangered plant species in the arecaceae family

NCBI Taxonomy Browser also includes the monotypic genus Wallaceodoxa from the western New Guinea. Two other genera, Hedyscepe from Lord Howe Island and Rhopalostylis from Norfolk Island, Australia, and New Zealand (including the Kermadec Islands) were formerly included in this subtribe, but have now been separated out to form the subtribe Rhopalostylidinae (Dransfield, Uhl et al., 2005).
