All but seven of the species are or were endemic to the island of Kauai, Hawaiian Islands; the exceptions are or were found on the islands of Niihau, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and/or Hawaii as well as Kauai. The 23 plant species and their habitats have been variously affected or are currently threatened by 1 or more of the following: Habitat degradation by wild, feral, or domestic animals (goats, pigs, mule deer, cattle, and red jungle fowl); competition for space, light, water, and nutrients by naturalized, introduced vegetation; erosion of substrate produced by weathering or human- or animal-caused disturbance; recreational and agricultural activities; habitat loss from fires; and predation by animals (goats and rats). Due to the small number of existing individuals and their very narrow distributions, these species and most of their populations are subject to an increased likelihood of extinction and/or reduced reproductive vigor from stochastic events. This proposal. if made final, would implement the Federal protection and DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR recovery provisions provided by the Fish and Wildlife Service Act. -

Smith, Unit Director The National Park Service and the University of Hawaii signed the memorandum of agreement establishing this Cooperative National Park Resources Studies Unit on March 16, 1973. The Unit provides a multidisciplinary approach to studies on the biological resources in the National Parks in Hawaii, that is, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Haleakala National Park, City of Refuge National Historical Park, and Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site. Through the Unit Director, projects are undertaken in areas identified by park management. These studies provide information of resource management programs. The involvement of University faculty and students in the resource management of the National Parks in Hawaii lends to a greater awareness of the problems and needs of the Service. At the same time research not directly or immediately applicable to management is also encouraged through the Unit.

Dischidia (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae) in Laos and Vietnam
BLUMEA 50: 113–134 Published on 22 April 2005 http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/000651905X623300 DISCHIDIA (APOCYNACEAE, ASCLEPIADOIDEAE) IN LAOS AND VIETNAM TatYANA LIVSHultZ1, TRAN THE BACH2, SOMCHANH BOUNPHANMY3 & DANIEL SCHOTT4 SUMMARY Two new species, Dischidia dohtii Tran & Livsh. and D. cornuta Livsh., are described and illustrated. Dischidia rimicola Kerr is illustrated for the first time. All three species are associated with tree- nesting ants of the genus Crematogaster. Presentation experiments with seeds of D. rimicola indi- cate that they are attractive to the ants. The possible affinity between D. dohtii and the enigmatic D. khasiana Hook.f. from north-eastern India is discussed; D. khasiana is lectotypified. A key to the 14 species of Dischidia documented from Vietnam and Laos and a list of exsiccatae are provided. Key words: Dischidia, Apocynaceae, Asclepiadaceae, morphology, taxonomy, ecology, ant plant. INTRODUCTION The genus Dischidia R.Br. comprises approximately eighty species of epiphytic vines in Indochina, Malesia, Melanesia, and the east Pacific. Many species grow on the nests of arboreal ants (Kaufmann et al., 2001 and references therein). Species of sec- tion Ascidophora K. Schum. have highly modified pitcher leaves that function as ant houses (Janzen, 1974). While it has recently been the subject of floristic treatments (Rintz, 1980; Li et al., 1995; Forster et al., 1996; Jagtap & Singh, 1999) and studies of its ecological associations with ants (Treseder et al., 1995; Kaufmann et al., 2001), both the taxonomy and ecology of Dischidia remain poorly understood through most of its range. We made field observations on three species in the highlands of Laos, in- cluding two that are here described as new. -

Article Received on 16/06/2021 Article Revised on 06/07/2021 Article Accepted on 26/07/2021 ABSTRACT Ayurveda a deep ocean with lots of medicinal gems, whether these are known or unknown. Some of its gems are controversial due to their morphological structure and lack of knowledge. Here we are trying to describe Haridru as a separate drug with its medicinal importance. As we know Ayurveda is a life science which deals with about every Dravya present in universe. Haridru is a plant having medicinal importance in Ayurveda but generally explains as a variety of Kadamba or Kadamba itself in many classical texts. We are trying to compile the data which proves that Haridru is a separate drug neither Kadamba nor its variety on the basis of its morphology, properties & actions as per Ayurveda. This study may be helpful for further researchers for conducting their studies because it‟s controversial kind of drug having not much research on this. -

Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 69(1): 33–65. 2017 33 doi: 10.3850/S2010098116000039 Index of names and types of Hoya (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) of Borneo M. Rodda Herbarium, Singapore Botanic Gardens, National Parks Board, 1 Cluny Road, Singapore 259569 [email protected] ABSTRACT. Types of all Hoya species occurring in Borneo and their synonyms are indicated and clarified. Forty-six lectotypes, nine neotypes and five epitypes are designated. Keywords. Brunei, epitype, holotype, Kalimantan, lectotype, neotype, Sabah, Sarawak Introduction The present paper is a precursor to a revision of Hoya R.Br. of Borneo. Its aim is to list all Hoya taxa occurring on the island of Borneo and their synonyms, clarify and standardize type citation, select lectotypes, epitypes and neotypes when necessary and provide an extensive list of isotypes and syntypes. The earliest description of a Hoya species that occurs in Borneo, H. multiflora Blume, was described by the German born Dutch botanist Carl Ludwig Blume in 1823, based, however, on Javanese materials. The first Hoya species based on a Bornean collection, H. imperialis Lindl., was published by Lindley (1846). Later, in 1880, Bentham published a peculiar leafless species with long photosynthetic peduncles endemic to Borneo, Astrostemma spartioides Benth. (now Hoya spartioides (Benth.) Kloppenb.). Until 1921 only nine Hoya species where known to occur in Borneo (Merrill, 1921). Nutt (2001) listed 21 species in an unpublished checklist. Lamb et al. (2014) estimated 60–70 species for Sabah alone. In the past 20 years almost 40 taxa (species and subspecies) of Hoya from Borneo have been described, mostly by Ted Green and Dale Kloppenburg (USA). -

Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.
