Abstract. Kurniawan FY, Putri F, Suyoko A, Masyhuri H, Sulistianingrum MP, Semiarti E. 2020. The diversity of wild orchids in the southern slope of Mount Merapi, Yogyakarta, Indonesia eight years after the 2010 eruption. Biodiversitas 21: 4457-4465. The ecosystem of the slopes of Mount Merapi is mountain tropical forest which is frequently affected by volcanic activities. The dynamics of the volcano affect the diversity and abundance of orchids in the ecosystem. Tritis is an area included in the Turgo Hill of the southern slope of Mount Merapi and is under the management of Mount Merapi National Park. The ecosystem in Tritis area classified as lower mountain forest and it has been affected by Mount Merapi eruption. This study aimed to do an inventory of orchid species in Tritis to know the diversity and abundance of orchids that exist in this area. -

Studies of West Malesian Agrostophyllum Blume (Orchidaceae)
Taiwania, 57(3): 251-262, 2012 Studies of West Malesian Agrostophyllum Blume (Orchidaceae) Paul Ormerod P.O. Box 8210, Cairns 4870, Queensland, Australia. Email: [email protected] (Manuscript received 6 March 2012; accepted 20 March 2012) ABSTRACT: Studies of West Malesian material of the genus Agrostophyllum reveals that three previously described species should be treated as new synonyms of earlier named entities, namely A. arundinaceum Ridl. (= A. cyathiforme J.J.Sm.), A. mearnsii Ames (= A. globiceps Schltr.) and A. wenzelii Ames (= A. glumaceum Hook.f.). However A. formosanum Rolfe is found to be a good species, distinct from A. inocephalum (Schauer) Rchb.f. On the other hand five new taxa have been recognised and are proposed here, namely A. asahanense, A. boeeanum, A. galeandrae, A. maliauense and A. pseudolaxum. KEY WORDS: Malesia, Agrostophyllum, new species. INTRODUCTION (Holotype: AMES!). The genus Agrostophyllum Blume currently Affinis A. djaratense Schltr. sed sepalis brevioribus contains about 102 species (new taxa included) (2.75-3.80 vs. 5 mm), epichilo ovato-suborbicularis, distributed from the Seychelles to Samoa. New Guinea bipulvinatis et angustioribus (non cordatis, excavatis et is the centre of diversity with about 57 named taxa, 4.5 vs. 1.75-2.00 mm latis) differt. though my own studies indicate another 20 (including five infraspecific taxa) require description from that Roots and rhizome not seen.

Using the “Seidenfaden collection” in Copenhagen as an example, we address the common view that botanical garden collections of orchids are important for conservation. Seidenfaden collected live orchids all over Thailand from 1957 to 1983 and created a traditional collection for taxonomic research, characterized by high taxonomic diversity and low intraspecific variation. Following an extended period of partial neglect, we managed to set up a five-year project aimed at expanding the collection with a continued focus on taxonomic diversity, but widening the geographic scope to tropical Asia. -

Biotechnology! Hengduan Mts. Biotechnology is a German-Chinese company dedicated to the conservation and cul- tivation of native Chinese orchids. Our base is in Sichuan, Southwest China, in one of the biodiversity hotspots of the world, the Hengduan Mountains System (synonym Mountains of Southwest China), home to about 400 orchid species and the Giant Panda. Our laboratory and subtropical nursery in Chengdu, Sichuan’s capital, as well as the alpine nursery beds in North Sichuan are the tools for in vitro propagation and subsequent raising of a wide range of Chinese orchids, with our specialty be- ing slipper orchids (Cypripedium & Paphiopedilum, but also Phragmipedium and Mexipedium). We create also orchid hybrids and our modern laboratory is further engaged in the production of fruit crop plants and medicinal herbs. Hengduan Mts. Biotechnology is registered with the State Forestry Agency (SFA, the CITES authority of the Peoples Republic of China), as in-vitro propagation facility of CITES appendix I & II orchids and grower of these artificially produced plants. We legally export flasks as well as seedlings of all stages from recently deflasked to flowering size of Paphiopedilum, Cypripedium and many other types of or- chids to North America, the European Union, Japan and other countries. Because the paperwork for every single export involves 7 different governmental agencies with 12 steps, and requires at least 3 months (usually more), we only export once or twice a year to a given region. -

Received: 17 December 2019; Accepted: 21 January 2020; Published: 24 January 2020 Abstract: This is an extensive review on epiphytic plants that have been used traditionally as medicines. It provides information on 185 epiphytes and their traditional medicinal uses, regions where Indigenous people use the plants, parts of the plants used as medicines and their preparation, and their reported phytochemical properties and pharmacological properties aligned with their traditional uses. These epiphytic medicinal plants are able to produce a range of secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, and a total of 842 phytochemicals have been identified to date. As many as 71 epiphytic medicinal plants were studied for their biological activities, showing promising pharmacological activities, including as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer agents. There are several species that were not investigated for their activities and are worthy of exploration. -

The following six phytogeographic regions (at the rank of floristic province) are distinguished and outlined within eastern Indochina: Sikang-Yunnan Province, South Chinese Province, North Indochinese Province, Central Annamese Province, South Annamese Province and South Indochinese Province. Short descriptions of these floristic units are given along with analysis of their floristic relationships. Special floristic analysis and consideration are given to the Orchidaceae as the largest well-studied representative of the Indochinese flora. 1.
