Pannell Trees or shrubs, dioecious, young parts usually lepidote or stellately pubescent. Leaves alternate to subopposite, odd-pinnate, 3- foliolate, or rarely simple; leaflet blade margins entire. Flowers in axillary thyrses, small, usually globose. Calyx slightly or deeply 3– 5-lobed. Petals 3–5, short, concave, quincuncial or imbricate in bud, distinct or rarely basally connate and adnate to staminal tube. Stamens as many as or more than petals; staminal tube usually subglobose, obovoid, or cup-shaped with apex incurved, apical margin entire, crenate, or shallowly lobed; anthers 5 or 6(–12), included, slightly exserted, or rarely semiexserted. Disk absent. Ovary 1–3(or 4)-locular, with 1 or 2 ovules per locule; style short or absent; stigma ovoid or shortly cylindric. Fruit with fibrous pericarp, indehiscent with 1 or 2 locules or loculicidally dehiscent with 3 locules; locules without seeds or each containing 1 seed; pericarp often containing latex. Seeds usually surrounded by a colloidal and fleshy aril; endosperm absent. About 120 species: tropical and subtropical Asia, tropical Australia, Pacific islands; eight species in China. Aglaia is the only source of the group of about 50 known representatives of compounds that bear a unique cyclopenta[b]tetrahydrobenzofuran skeleton. These compounds are more commonly called rocaglate or rocaglamide derivatives, or flavaglines, and have been found to have anticancer and pesticidal properties. Since the first representative in this group was only discovered in 1982, this is one of the few recent examples of a completely new class of plant secondary metabolites of biological promise (see B. -

The study aimed to document plant diversity and to identify interesting, endemic, rare and threatened plant species which were considered high conservation value species. A total of 413 species from 82 families were recorded from the study area of which 93 taxa were endemic to Borneo, including 10 endemic to Sabah. These high conservation value species are key conservation targets for any forested area such as ICCA. Proper knowledge of plant diversity and their conservation status is vital for the formulation of a forest management plan for the Batu Timbang area. Keywords: Vascular plant, floral diversity, endemic, endangered, Borneo Introduction The earth as it is today has a lot of important yet beneficial natural resources such as tropical forests. Tropical forests are one of the world’s richest ecosystems, providing a wide range of important natural resources comprising vital biotic and abiotic components (Darus, 1982). -

Published Online 2014 28 June. Research Article Medicinal Plants in Tropical Rain Forest from Hua Khao Subdistrict, Singha Nakhon District, Songkhla Province, Thailand Oratai Neamsuvan, Narumon Sengnon, Umad Haddee, Wittawat Mard-E and Warunyu Sae-Tang Faculty of Traditional Thai Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, Hat yai, 90110, Thailand Received: 25 April 2014; Revised:: 20 May 2014; Accepted: 25 May 2014; Available online: 28 June 2014 © 2014 AENSI PUBLISHER All rights reserved ABSTRACT Phytogeographically, southern Thailand is covered by tropical rain forest which high plant diversity is existing. Nevertheless, scanty study of medicinal plant diversity has been performed. This study aimed to survey medicinal plants from tropical rain forest of Hua Khao Subdistrict, Singha Nakhon District, Songkhla Province. It was carried out during July 2012–December 2012. Semi-structure interviews were performed to 5 key informants. The main criteria for consulting were plant vernacular name, plant part used, preparation, route of administration and properties. Plant identification and voucher specimens were done. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and interpretation. Totally, eighty-two species belonging to 69 genera and 48 families were recorded. Rubiaceae was the family with most species used (6 species). The most frequently utilized plant part was underground part (32.73%). Medicinal plants found could be categorized into 31 groups according to their properties, among them antipyretic drugs were mostly found with species utilized (20.80%). -
