As a result of the efforts of many botanists and conservationists in the region and beyond, a good deal has been accomplished, and one can feel confident about the prospects for accelerated progress in relation to the goals that will be established for the second decade. The floras of China, Thailand, and the Malay Peninsula are becoming reasonably well known, and we hope they will lead other countries into a careful determination of the conservation status of their plants in the years to come. This will require arduous and prolonged efforts, but will be necessary if this precious part of the world patrimony, which contributes so much to the welfare and future Peter H. Raven prospects of the countries of the region, can be preserved in the face of habitat President Emeritus destruction; the accelerating spread of invasive species, pests, and pathogens; Missouri Botanical Garden the selective gathering of species for medicine, building materials, and other St. Louis, MO, U.S.A. diverse purposes; and global climate change, which is progressively rendering the probability of many species to survive in nature increasingly doubtful. Even for botanical gardens, it remains to be seen what plants can be grown in the regional climates of the future; this problem emphasizes the very great importance of seed banks such as the one established by the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the Institute of Botany, Kunming. Knowing and articulating goals and objectives enhances greatly the chances of meeting them. The accomplishments of the past decade in plant conservation for Asian countries have been impressive, and we wish our colleagues well for even greater ones in the years to come! iiii FOREWORD The adoption of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) by the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2002 marked an outstanding opportunity for the international community to respond to the challenge of conserving tens of thousands of plant species that are currently threatened worldwide due to habitat loss and fragmentation, unsustainable exploitation, urbanization, climate change, the spread of invasive alien species and many other pressures. The Convention specifically recognized the need for plant conservation to be addressed at the regional levels. Not only does will regional cooperation help to highlight plant conservation priorities, tasks and opportunities in common, but it will also help to share resources, guidance and good relevant examples and approaches that will be important in building plant conservation capacity throughout each region of Peter S. Wyse Jackson the world. Chairman I greatly welcome the preparation of this Asian Plant Conservation Report Global Partnership for Plant Conservation 2010 and congratulate all those involved in preparing this Report. It provides not President only a valuable review of progress made over the eight years since the adoption Missouri Botanical Garden of the GSPC but also it will help to raise awareness of a range of excellent and St Louis, MO, U.S.A. impressive examples and approaches to plant conservation that can be applied elsewhere. In 2010 the Convention agreed and adopted an updated GSPC, including updated targets, for the period up to 2020.

    DNA barcoding of commercialized plants; an examination of Amomum (Zingiberaceae) in South-East Asia Matilda Segersäll Arbetsgruppen för Tropisk Ekologi Minor Field Study 163 Committee of Tropical Ecology ISSN 1653-5634 Uppsala University, Sweden November 2011 Uppsala DNA barcoding of commercialized plants; an examination of Amomum (Zingiberaceae) in South-East Asia Matilda Segersäll Supervisors: MSc. Hugo de Boer, Department of Organismal Biology, Systematic Biology, Uppsala University, Sweden. Dr. Hien Le Thu, Institute of Biotechnology (IBT), Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST), Hanoi, Vietnam. Abstract Trade and commercialization of non‐timber forest products, like cycas palms, rattans, and orchids form a serious threat to biodiversity in South‐East Asia. The intensity at which these resources are collected, as well as the techniques used, are unsustainable. To distinguish between common and endangered species is complicated, especially of related species within the same family or genus. Molecular barcoding applied to plants uses DNA‐sequences to contribute to identification and distinction between species. In this paper we investigate the possibility of finding suitable barcodes for Amomum Roxb., a genus of well‐known medicinal plants in South‐East Asia, by comparing three genetic markers matK, ITS and trnL.

Delang Lao Flora A checklist of plants found in Lao PDR with scientific and vernacular names Lamphay Inthakoun Claudio O. Delang Lulu Press First published 2008 by Lulu Enterprises, Inc. 860 Aviation Parkway, Suite 300 Morrisville, NC 27560 The book can be purchased or downloaded from http://lulu.com/lao_flora. Contents Introduction 1 Lao Flora Listed by Lao Script 13-121 Lao Flora Listed by Genus and Species 123-238 Introduction This introduction1 provides a brief synopsis of the forest habitats and ecoregions found in Lao PDR, as well as an overview of the related research on plant taxonomy. This is followed by a description of the structure and contents of the present volume and a citation of sources used to compile the present checklist. 1. Forest habitats and ecoregions in Lao PDR 1.1. Forest habitats Forest classifications can be vegetation-related (which implies that the factors used to distinguish forests are the physiognomic or floristic characteristics of the vegetation), biophysically- and climate-related (where broad environmental or geographic characteristics become the distinguishing factors), or management- related (which involves utilizing combinations of vegetation and non-vegetation criteria). These modes of classification are scale-specific: while global-scale classifications are largely based on climatic criteria such as rainfall and temperature, classification systems used at country- or smaller regional-level scales emphasise floristic and physiognomic characteristics as well as physical site factors (Wong, Delang, Schmidt-Vogt, 2007). These latter variables were taken into account by the National Office of Forest Inventory and Planning (NOFIP) when it classified the forests of Lao PDR (Manivong and Sandewall, 1992).

Leslie The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. The word “countries” appearing in the text refers to countries, territories and areas without distinction. The designations “developed” and “developing” countries are intended for statistical convenience and do not necessarily express a judgement about the stage reached by a particular country or area in the development process. The opinions expressed in the articles by contributing authors are not necessarily those of FAO. The EC-FAO Partnership Programme on Information and Analysis for Sustainable Forest Management: Linking National and International Efforts in South Asia and Southeast Asia is designed to enhance country capacities to collect and analyze relevant data, and to disseminate and up-to-date information on forestry, and to make this information more readily available for strategic decision making.

    BOTANICAL DIRECTORY Because there is such variation in the Romanized Thai spelling, sometimes more than one variation of the plant’s Thai name has been included. If the Thai name starts with dok (flower), bai (leaf), ya (grass), rag (root), gason (stamen/pollen), gan (inner trunk), naam mun (oil), or luk (fruit), then try looking the name up without the prefix. 285 All English names, scientific names, as well as alternative Thai names are listed in alphabetical order in the left column, with the correct spelling under which the botanical is listed in the “Botanical” section in the right column. If the correct Thai name is looked at, then there will be no referral in the right column. Once the proper Thai named is found, the botanical can be found alphabetically in the “Botanical” section.
