Ximena Londoño
|
Ximena Londoño de la Pava (born 1958 in Cali, Colombia) is a Colombian botanist, specializing in agrostology.
|
She has done extensive research on the bamboo genus "Guadua" in South America and Central America.
|
In 1979 she began plant collecting.
|
In 1983 she graduated in agricultural engineering from the National University of Colombia at Palmira.
|
After graduation, she studied bamboo taxonomy under Thomas Robert Soderstrom at the Smithsonian Institution.
|
Her bamboo research has received funding from the Smithsonian Institution, Colciencias, the National Geographic Society, the American Bamboo Society (founded in 1979), and the International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation.
|
She has over fifteen co-collectors, but the primary two are Lynn G. Clark and Thomas Soderstrom.
|
Primarily collecting among the Bambusoideae, Ximena Londoño has also collected among the family Gesneriaceae.
|
She has worked primarily in Latin America but also studied bamboos in Indonesia, China, and India.
|
She has collected plant specimens in Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica, Cuba, and Puerto Rico.
|
In Colombia's Quindío Department, she owns and manages an organic farm, growing coffee, bamboo, bananas, and tropical flowers.
|
The farm, at 1250 meters altitude, is an estate she inherited from her father, an engineer, and her mother, an artist, who were the owners and managers.
|
Ximena Londoño grew up there and her mother, Doña Sofi, hired two teachers to teach village children in the mornings and village adults in the afternoons.
|
(The school graduated more than 85 students and closed when Doña Sofi died at age 93.)
|
Ximena, with her parents, eventually moved to Cali for her higher education; although the family went back to their farm on weekends.
|
At the National University of Colombia at Palmira, she was one of only eight women in a class of one hundred twenty students.
|
She became a scientist, a traveller, and an adventurer, but always retained her love for her farm and the people in the nearby village.
|
She told an interviewer that at the farm, “"todo se resuelve con una guadua: si había que apuntalar un techo, coger una fruta, fabricar un banco, arreglar uno mesa"” (everything is solved with a "guadua": if you had to prop up a roof, pick a fruit, make a bench, fix a table).
|
The farm, with over 70 different bamboo species, is now a center for research and education, as well as a ecotourism destination.
|
In the bamboo subfamily of the family Poaceae, Londoño has described over 50 new species spanning several different genera, including "Guadua", "Alvimia", "Arthrostylidium", "Aulonemia", "Chusquea", "Eremocaulon", and "Rhipidocladum".
|
In 2017 at the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the National University of Colombia, the "Consejo Superior Universitario" (Higher University Council) honored her in the category "Investigación o Creación Artística y Cultural" for her research.
