  • Introduction Chapter 1
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General introduction and taxonomic complexities in Fagraea sensu lato: three distinct subgeneric groups; variance in species delimiting concepts The genus Fagraea Thunberg is pantropical, with a distribution from Sri Lanka and India, through tropical South East Asia, reaching as far east to Polynesia (Struwe et al. 2002). The genus is centered in Malesia, where of over 70 species described (Struwe et al. 2002), around 50 species are distributed within Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo (Leenhouts 1962; Wong & Sugau 1996). Species of Fagraea have a variety of life forms. They are tall canopy trees, smaller understorey trees reaching only a few meters tall, or are epiphytes and hemi-epiphytes. They occur from sea level to about 3000 m in very moist montane conditions, mostly in forest gaps, forest edges, rocky outcrops, along stream beds in wet tropical forests but less commonly in mesic forests, mangrove swamps and savannas (Motley 2004). With a large diversity in habit and form, Fagraea have species that are both conspicuous and ecologically important in natural landscapes. The widespread F. fragrans is a common pioneer on sandy sites, a frequent secondary forest species in the lowlands, and can persist in mature forest. In Peninsular Malaysia, F. racemosa is also a common secondary forest species and the large-leaved F. auriculata with long-tubed flowers is often conspicuous in coastal sandy sites and on quartz ridges in the lowlands. Throughout the lowland and lower montane forests of Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo, the frequent 1 presence of Fagraea epiphytes or hemi-epiphytes is detected by fallen corollas on the ground at different times during the year.

Methods – A revision of the genus in the Malay Peninsula was carried out using conventional methods of herbarium taxonomy. The specimen holdings of the K, KEP, KLU, L and SING herbaria were consulted. Results – Six species are recognised for Utania in the Malay Peninsula, including two new species, U. austromalayensis and U. nervosa. Three new combinations are made: U. maingayi, U. peninsularis and U. racemosa, the last for a species of Indo-China, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, which does not extend to Borneo and eastwards.

Middleton2 1Singapore Botanical Liaison Officer, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AE, U.K. [email protected] 2Singapore Botanic Gardens, National Parks Board, 1 Cluny Road, 259569, Singapore ABSTRACT. Henry Nicholas Ridley (1855–1956) described more than 450 taxa of Gentianales, mostly from Southeast Asia, and was the author of over 70 additional combinations in this order. A listing of these names with place of publication and the types of the Ridley basionyms is given here. Many names are lectotypified. The new combinations Chassalia pauciflora (Ridl.) I.M.Turner and Chassalia violascens (Ridl.) I.M.Turner are proposed for Cephaelis pauciflora Ridl. and Gartnera violascens Ridl. respecitively. Three names are newly reduced to synonymy: Cephaelis elongata Ridl. to Chassalia bracteata Ridl., Geophila matthewii Ridl. to Mussaenda uniflora Wall. ex G.Don and Psychotria setistipula Ridl. to Ixora patens Ridl. Keywords. Apocynaceae, Gentianaceae, lectotype, Loganiaceae, Rubiaceae, typification Introduction This paper continues an intermittent series on the plant taxa named by Henry Nicholas Ridley (1855–1956). Earlier parts have covered the pteridophytes (Turner & Chin, 1998a), gymnosperms (Turner & Chin, 1998b), Zingiberales (Turner, 2000) and basal angiosperms (Austrobaileyales, Canellales, Chloranthales, Laurales, Magnoliales, Nymphaeales and Piperales) (Turner, 2012). In this installment focus shifts to the Gentianales. Ridley described many plant species, particularly from Southeast Asia. He documented the botanical diversity of the region tirelessly and seemed prepared to tackle all and any taxonomic group of vascular plants that came his way.

Box 1407, 90715 Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia [email protected] ABSTRACT. A new classification of the Fagraea complex (Gentianaceae) based on recent molecular studies and taxonomic considerations now recognises the genera Cyrtophyllum, Fagraea in the strict sense, Limahlania, Picrophloeus, and Utania. The Bornean species of this complex are listed following the new perspective and the remaining necessary new combinations (seven, in Utania) are made. Keywords. Borneo, Cyrtophyllum, Fagraea, Gentianaceae, Limahlania, Picrophloeus, Utania Introduction Wong & Sugau (1996) revised the Bornean species of the Fagraea Thunb. complex. In their work, they reviewed a number of species limits that had previously been masked by the broader concepts adopted by Leenhouts (1962b), and revived a number of names that had been enumerated or described by Cammerloher (1923) and others. In addition, a number of species were also newly recognised. Subsequently, Sugumaran & Wong (2012) demonstrated good support from molecular evidence for reasonably clear lineages that could be identified with genera within theFagraea Complex. Their new classification recognised Cyrtophyllum Reinw., Fagraea (in the strict sense), Limahlania K.M.Wong & M.Sugumaran, Picrophloeus Blume, and Utania G.Don.

  • Songs for a Dead Ariki: the Delicate Art of Performing Politics
    SONGS FOR A DEAD ARIKI: THE DELICATE ART OF PERFORMING POLITICS RICHARD MOYLE The University of Auckland The second part of Patrick Kirch and Roger Green’s 2001 monograph Hawaiki, Ancestral Polynesia, is devoted to an examination of the cultural and social features of the earliest Polynesian era, using the evidence of language, specifically the relatedness of Polynesian languages, to trace the origin and geographical spread of specific terms. Among the best-known of those terms from the region as a whole is ariki. Indeed, the word, or a cognate variant, is reported from 32 regions of Polynesia. Examining the meaning of the term in each region, the authors identify five recurring features (p. 228): (i) the term related not just to secular leadership (the most common meaning) but frequently also to a primary sacred role as, e.g., the principal priest or religious leader; (ii) the ariki was associated with a particular descent group; (iii) succession to the title ariki was hereditary, usually by being the firstborn in the patrilineal line; (iv) titleholders were typically male; and (v) ariki were regarded everywhere as tapu ‘sacred’ or possessors of mana ‘supernatural power’. This article uses specially composed songs for a dead ariki as a critical tool for exploring the institution of ariki in one Polynesian culture. I use the past tense in this summary of features for the good reason that the institution of supreme leader was successfully challenged in most parts of Polynesia firstly by European missionaries and administrators, and later by the creation of national governments having elected membership.

The species, growing prominently near the path at the nature reserve, was not described despite being identified as new fifteen years ago, owing to long-standing taxonomic misconceptions in Hanguana. The key to Hanguana in Peninsular Malaysia is here updated. Key words: Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Commelinales, Endangered, Hanguana loi, H. malayana, H. nitens Introduction In contrast to the rest of the region, Singapore, situated in the middle of the Sundaland, has one of the best-known tropical vascular plant floras in the world. With continuous botanical collecting stretching as far back as 1870, and over 33,000 plant specimens stored in the Singapore Botanic Gardens Herbarium (SING) alone, Singapore currently has a collection density of 5,721 specimens per 100 km2.

  • 7. Plant Conservation in Singapore II: Practical Implementation
    FLORA OF SINGAPORE (Vol. 1: 83–106, 2019) 7. PLANT CONSERVATION IN SINGAPORE II: PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION R.C.J. Lim1, J. Leong-Škorničková2, S. Lindsay1, M.A. Niissalo2, T.W. Yam2 & D.J. Middleton2 In Chapter 6, the historical and legislative framework for plant conservation in Singapore is discussed, along with a summary of the threats to Singapore’s native plant diversity. In Chapter 7, the research that underpins conservation is introduced and NParks’ species recovery and reintroduction programmes are discussed. Conservation efforts in Singapore focus on the protection of native plants and their natural habitats through the Singapore Green Plan (Chew, 2016), Sustainable Singapore Blueprint (Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) & Ministry for National Development (MND), 2015), National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (National Parks Board, 2009), and Nature Conservation Masterplan (National Parks Board, 2015b). That the plant diversity of Singapore has been subject to considerable pressure over a long period of time is not in doubt. This has led to very high numbers of species being presumed Nationally Extinct or assigned one of the IUCN threat categories (Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered) (Table 1). The initiatives mentioned above advocate action to halt biodiversity loss through research on rare and threatened species and through practical conservation measures. These include ex situ conservation actions to augment the populations of species under threat and potentially to reverse national extinctions through reintroductions of formerly native species from other countries. Research Effective conservation action relies on accurate data of which species are native in Singapore, where they occur, and whether they are under threat.
