11Th Flora Malesina Symposium, Brunei Darussalm, 30 June 5 July 2019 1 11TH FLORA MALESINA SYMPOSIUM, BRUNEI DARUSSALM, 30 JUNE 5 JULY 2019 1 Welcome message The Universiti Brunei Darussalam is honoured to host the 11th International Flora Malesiana Symposium. On behalf of the organizing committee it is my pleasure to welcome you to Brunei Darussalam. The Flora Malesiana Symposium is a fantastic opportunity to engage in discussion and sharing information and experience in the field of taxonomy, ecology and conservation. This is the first time that a Flora Malesiana Symposium is organized in Brunei Darissalam and in the entire island of Borneo. At the center of the Malesian archipelago the island of Borneo magnifies the megadiversity of this region with its richness in plant and animal species. Moreover, the symposium will be an opportunity to inspire and engage the young generation of taxonomists, ecologists and conservationists who are attending it. They will be able to interact with senior researchers and get inspired with new ideas and develop further collaboration. In a phase of Biodiversity crisis, it is pivotal the understanding of plant diversity their ecology in order to have a tangible and successful result in the conservation action. I would like to thank the Vice Chancellor of UBD for supporting the symposium. In the last 6 months the organizing committee has worked very hard for making the symposium possible, to them goes my special thanks. I would like to extend my thanks to all the delegates and the keynote speakers who will make this event a memorable symposium.

Manuscript received: 25 September 2020. Revision accepted: 4 November 2020. Abstract. Ng WS, Mohd-Azlan J, Wong SY. 2020. Floral biology and pollination strategy of Durio (Malvaceae) in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Biodiversitas 21: 5579-5594. This study was carried out to investigate on the flowering mechanisms of four Durio species in Sarawak. The anthesis started in the afternoon (D. graveolens and D. zibethinus), evening (D. kutejensis) or midnight (D. griffithii); and lasted between 11.5 hours (D. griffithii) to 20 hours (D. graveolens). All four Durio species are generalists. Individuals of a fruit bat (Eonycteris spelaea, Pteropodidae) are considered as the main pollinator for D. graveolens, D. kutejensis, and D. zibethinus while spiderhunter (Arachnothera, Nectariniidae) is also proposed as a primary pollinator for D. kutejensis. Five invertebrate taxa were observed as secondary or inadvertent pollinators of Durio spp.: honeybee, Apis sp. (Apidae), stingless bee, Tetrigona sp. (Apidae), nocturnal wasp, Provespa sp. (Vespidae), pollen beetle (Nitidulidae), and thrip (Thysanoptera). Honey bees and stingless bees pollinated all four Durio species. Pollen beetles were found to pollinate D. griffithii and D. graveolens while nocturnal wasps were found to pollinate D.

  • Family Classification
    1.0 GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.1 Henckelia sect. Loxocarpus Loxocarpus R.Br., a taxon characterised by flowers with two stamens and plagiocarpic (held at an angle of 90–135° with pedicel) capsular fruit that splits dorsally has been treated as a section within Henckelia Spreng. (Weber & Burtt, 1998 [1997]). Loxocarpus as a genus was established based on L. incanus (Brown, 1839). It is principally recognised by its conical, short capsule with a broader base often with a hump-like swelling at the upper side (Banka & Kiew, 2009). It was reduced to sectional level within the genus Didymocarpus (Bentham, 1876; Clarke, 1883; Ridley, 1896) but again raised to generic level several times by different authors (Ridley, 1905; Burtt, 1958). In 1998, Weber & Burtt (1998 ['1997']) re-modelled Didymocarpus. Didymocarpus s.s. was redefined to a natural group, while most of the rest Malesian Didymocarpus s.l. and a few others morphologically close genera including Loxocarpus were transferred to Henckelia within which it was recognised as a section within. See Section 4.1 for its full taxonomic history. Molecular data now suggests that Henckelia sect. Loxocarpus is nested within ‗Twisted-fruited Asian and Malesian genera‘ group and distinct from other didymocarpoid genera (Möller et al. 2009; 2011). 1.2 State of knowledge and problem statements Henckelia sect. Loxocarpus includes 10 species in Peninsular Malaysia (with one species extending into Peninsular Thailand), 12 in Borneo, two in Sumatra and one in Lingga (Banka & Kiew, 2009). The genus Loxocarpus has never been monographed. Peninsular Malaysian taxa are well studied (Ridley, 1923; Banka, 1996; Banka & Kiew, 2009) but the Bornean and Sumatran taxa are poorly known.

This recent study was conducted to determine the plant species composition and diversity and to select priority areas for conservation to update management strategy. A field survey was carried out in fifteen (15) 20 m x 100 m nested plots established randomly in the forest over limestone of RSPL from July to October 2019.

They are exclusively distributed in undisturbed habitats, and some have high ornamental value. The species are morphologically diverse, but face a problem of taxonomic delineation, which is further complicated by the presence of putative hybrids.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

INTRODUCTION Coffee is the second largest export commodity in the world after petro­ leum products with an estimated annual retail sales value of US $70 billion in 2003 (Lewin et a1. 2004). Over 10 million hectares of coffee were harvested in 2005 (http://faostat.fao.orgl) in more than 50 devel­ oping countries, and about 125 million people, equivalent to 17 to 20 million families, depend on coffee for their subsistence in Latin Amer­ ica, Africa, and Asia (Osorio 2002; Lewin et a1. 2004). Coffee is the most important source of foreign currency for over 80 developing countries (Gole et a1. 2002). The genus Coffea (Rubiaceae) comprises about 100 different species (Chevalier 1947; Bridson and Verdcourt 1988; Stoffelen 1998; Anthony and Lashermes 2005; Davis et a1. 2006, 2007), and new taxa are still being discovered (Davis and Rakotonasolo 2001; Davis and Mvungi 2004). Only two species are of economic importance: C. arabica L., called arabica coffee and endemic to Ethiopia, and C. canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner, also known as robusta coffee and endemic to the Congo basin (Wintgens 2004; Illy and Viani 2005). C. arabica accounted for approximately 65% of the total coffee production in 2002-2003 (Lewin et a1. 2004). Dozens of C. arabica cultivars are grown (e.g., 'Typica', 'Bourbon', 'Catuai', 'Caturra', 'Maragogipe', 'Mundo Novo', 'Pacas'), but their genetic base is small due to a narrow gene pool from which they originated and the fact that C.
