R. China Tel.: 0086-871-65171169; Fax: 0086-871-65160916 *Corresponding author: H. Zhu, e-mail [email protected]; Fax no.: 86-871-5160916 Abstract Complete floristic and vegetation surveys were done in a newly established nature reserve on a tropical mountain in southern Yunnan. Three vegetation types in three altitudinal zones were recognized: a tropical seasonal rain forest below 1,100 m; a lower montane evergreen broad- leaved forest at 1,100-1,600 m; and a montane rain forest above 1,600 m. A total of 1,657 species of seed plants in 758 genera and 146 families were recorded from the nature reserve. Tropical families (61%) and genera (81%) comprise the majority of the flora, and tropical Asian genera make up the highest percentage, showing the close affinity of the flora with the tropical Asian (Indo-Malaysia) flora, despite the high latitude (22N). Floristic changes with altitude are conspicuous. The transition from lowland tropical seasonal rain forest dominated by mixed tropical families to lower montane forest dominated by Fagaceae and Lauraceae occurs at 1,100-1,150 m. Although the middle montane forests above 1,600 m have ‘oak-laurel’ assemblage characteristics, the temperate families Magnoliaceae and Cornaceae become dominant.

Qumruzzaman Chowdhury Project summary Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary (RKWS) is one of the most critical protected areas (PA) in Bangladesh where a large number endemic plant and animal species have already disappeared due to severe anthropogenic disturbances. Therefore, assessment of red listed species diversity and identification of biodiversity hotspots are important in conservation management. Hence, the general objective of the work is to develop baseline information on the occurrence and diversity patterns of the national red listed vascular plant species in the PA to foster conservation of these threatened components of nature. Specific objectives (I) Quantification of red listed species diversity and exploration of their distributional patterns in different habitats. (II) Identification of hotspots within the PA. Results Diversity of Red Listed Vascular Plants We found a total of 66 red listed vascular plants of 35 families and 55 genera in the Rema- Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary (Table 1). Plantation forest consists of 47 species of 42 genus and 28 families. Natural forest has 17 unique species. Highest richness value (18) was found in plot 2 of natural forest and lowest value was observed in sample plot 4 (Figure 1a). Out of 50 plots in 1 Rufford Small Grant: Progress Report - 2 2012 plantation forest 4 plots did not have any red listed species. Richness value ranged from 0 to 14 with a mean value of 5.32. In terms of alpha diversity, mean values were 1.64 and 1.07 for natural and plantation forests, respectively (Figure 1b).

Wood Extracts (Rambai) and Chemical Compounds Evaluation for the Most Active Fraction Erwin1*, Zenthise Gandi Tonapa1, Alimuddin2 1Organic Chemistry Laboratory of Chemistry Department of Mulawarman University, Samarinda, Indonesia 2Analytical Chemistry Laboratory of Chemistry Department of Mulawarman University, Samarinda Indonesia *Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Baccaurea motleyana Müll. Arg. (known locally as Rambai), as an edible fruit plant, is one of the plants native to tropical rain forest of East Kalimantan. This plant is spread in several Asian regions such as Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Traditionally Rambai is used to treat stomach and eye diseases and this plant has anticancer potential. The purpose of this study was to conduct initial screening for bioactivity by the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method and to determine chemical composition of the most active fraction from the extracts of Rambai woods by the GC-MS analysis. The toxicity test against Artemia salina larvae showed that n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol fraction has LC50 values of 39.62, 11.29 and 661.39 ppm, respectively. Furthermore, the acetate fraction as the most active fraction was further fractionated using flash column chromatography and eight fractions were obtained E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, and E8 with LC50 values of 1000 >, 1000 >, 159.52, 138.10, 80.36, 46.06, 47.96 and 72.49 ppm, respectively. The results of GC-MS spectrum characterization of E6 (the most active fraction) showed the presence of alkanes (45.57%), alkenes (27.02%), aromatic compounds (20.90%), fatty acid/fatty acid esters (5.71%), and alcohol (0.78%).

The soxhlated extraction and standard methods were used for extractions and phytochemical analysis. The drug was administration orally, animal’s observed from cage side observations and mean body weight was taken for 14 days. There phytochemical analysis of ethanolic extract of the leaves of Baccaurea ramiflora and Microcos paniculata revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, tannins, phytosterols, saponins and flavonoids. The oral acute toxicity study showed no noticeable clinical signs of toxicity and mortality during 14 days of the study period. No statistically significant alterations in body weights, compared to control group. We conclude that the outcome of the present study may add scientific information of ethanolic, chloroform extracts and acute toxicity study of the leaves of Baccaurea ramiflora and Microcos paniculata to the system of medical specialization. Ethanolic extract of leaves of Baccaurea ramiflora and Microcos paniculata was found to be nontoxic up to 5000 mg/kg body weight, so the LD50 is greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.

  • Belimbing Darah (Baccaurea Angulata Merr.), Buah Keluarga Menteng Endemik Kalimantan Dan Kerabatnya
    Warta Kebun Raya 16 (1), Mei 2018 Belimbing Darah (Baccaurea angulata Merr.), Buah Keluarga Menteng Endemik Kalimantan dan Kerabatnya Sudarmono Pusat Konservasi Tumbuhan Kebun Raya – LIPI email: [email protected] Foto: Wisnu H.A. ABSTRACT Baccaurea angulata Merr. Red angle tampoi or scientific name Baccaurea angulata Merr. (Phyllantaceae) is an endemic plant of Borneo island. The other potential is not only as an exotic fruit but also contains antocyanin and antioxidant compounds which are high. The results also reveal the potential of red angle tampoi as a source of natural ingredients for the treatment of cancer and also has antimicrobial activity. Their close relatives besides menteng (Baccaurea racemosa) and tampoi (B. macrocarpa) also have B. dulcis (kupa), B. motleyana (rambai). The types of plants are generally dioceous so sometimes there should be a tree with its own male flowers and also there is a tree that flowering female itself. Grown in lowland (less than 800 meters above sea level) also in riparian areas of river or close to swamp areas. Propagation is most easily by seeds, cuttings and graft. Experiments with cuttings can grow leaves up to 3 months in the hood as well as graft within 3 months. PENDAHULUAN Sambas, Kalimantan Barat.
