Revision accepted: 30 December 2018. Abstract. Munawaroh E, Yuzammi. 2019. Species diversity of Orchids in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, Lampung, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: xxxx. Orchids, belonging to the family Orchidaceae, are well known ornamental plants due to their beautiful flowers and varied colors. The members of this family have received more scientific attention than other plant families because of their unique botanical features and economic value. This study was conducted to explore and record the species diversity of Orchidaceae in Sumatera, especially in the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP), Lampung, Indonesia. This research was carried out from 2011 to 2014 at four locations, namely Kubu Perahu Resort, Sukaraja Atas Resort, Pugung Tampak Resort and Sekincau Resort, using purposive sampling method. A total of 132 species belonging to 52 genera of orchids have been identified from BBSNP, Lampung, of which 37 genera are epiphytic orchids and 15 genera are terrestrial orchids. Two species namely, Vanda sumatrana and Grammatophyllum speciosum, have been recognized as protected species. Vanda sumatrana is also endemic to Sumatera. These orchids are also cultivated at Liwa Botanic Garden, as an ex situ conservation.

  • The Diversity of Root-Associated Endophytic Fungi from Four Epiphytic Orchids in China
    diversity Article The Diversity of Root-Associated Endophytic Fungi from Four Epiphytic Orchids in China Tao Wang , Miao Chi, Ling Guo, Donghuan Liu, Yu Yang and Yu Zhang * Beijing Laboratory of Urban and Rural Ecological Environment, Beijing Floriculture Engineering Technology Research Centre, Beijing Botanical Garden, Beijing 100093, China; [email protected] (T.W.); [email protected] (M.C.); [email protected] (L.G.); [email protected] (D.L.); [email protected] (Y.Y.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Root-associated endophytic fungi (RAF) are found asymptomatically in almost all plant groups. However, little is known about the compositions and potential functions of RAF communities associated with most Orchidaceae species. In this study, the diversity of RAF was examined in four wild epiphytic orchids, Acampe rigida, Doritis pulcherrima, Renanthera coccinea, and Robiquetia succisa, that occur in southern China. A culture-independent method involving Illumina amplicon sequencing, and an in vitro culture method, were used to identify culturable fungi. The RAF community diversity differed among the orchid roots, and some fungal taxa were clearly concentrated in a certain orchid species, with more OTUs being detected. By investigating mycorrhizal associations, the results showed that 28 (about 0.8%) of the 3527 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) could be assigned as OMF, while the OTUs of non-mycorrhizal fungal were about 99.2%. Among the OMFs, Ceratobasidiaceae OTUs were the most abundant with different richness, followed by Thelephoraceae. In addition, five Ceratobasidium sp. strains were isolated from D. pulcherrima, R. succisa, and R. coccinea roots with high separation rates. These culturable Ceratobasidium strains will provide materials for Citation: Wang, T.; Chi, M.; Guo, L.; host orchid conservation and for studying the mechanisms underlying mycorrhizal symbiosis.

  • Uncovering the Trade of Wild-Collected Ornamantal Plants in Thailand, Including Imports from Myanmar and Lao Pdr
    UNCOVERING THE TRADE OF WILD-COLLECTED ORNAMANTAL PLANTS IN THAILAND, INCLUDING IMPORTS FROM MYANMAR AND LAO PDR JACOB PHELPS B.S (Hons.) Michigan State University M.Phil. University of Cambridge THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2013 Declaration Declaration I hereby declare that the thesis is my original work and it has been written by me in its entirety. I have duly acknowledged all the sources of information which have been used in the thesis. This thesis has also not been submitted for any degree in any university previously. _______ __________ Jacob Phelps 08 July, 2013 II Summary Summary Wild-collected botanical resources are widely traded across Southeast Asia. There is growing concern over the conservation of commercially-traded ornamental plants— notably the family Orchidaceae, trade in which is regulated under the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES). However, there is virtually no baseline data on their regional trade dynamics or conservation. Between May 2011 and June 2012, we interviewed plant harvesters, traders and middlemen (N=158), made market observations and conducted botanical surveys of Thailand’s four largest plant markets, at Jatujak Market (Bangkok), Chedi Sam Ong and Dan Singkorn Markets (Thailand-Myanmar border) and Mukdahan Market (Thailand-Lao PDR border). The multidisciplinary study provides initial baseline data on the ornamental plant trade, and leverages the case to explore broader themes, including wildlife farming, CITES implementation, and conservation rule-breaking. Surveys uncovered a previously undocumented regional trade dominated by Orchidaceae (87.5% of documented trade), including more than 82,000 orchid specimens of 347 species in 93 genera.

    Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific Craig Costion School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Adelaide Adelaide, SA 5005 Thesis by publication submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology July 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis advances plant biodiversity knowledge in three separate bioregions, Micronesia, the Queensland Wet Tropics, and South Australia. A systematic treatment of the endemic flora of Micronesia is presented for the first time thus advancing alpha taxonomy for the Micronesia-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot region. The recognized species boundaries are used in combination with all known botanical collections as a basis for assessing the degree of threat for the endemic plants of the Palau archipelago located at the western most edge of Micronesia’s Caroline Islands. A preliminary assessment is conducted utilizing the IUCN red list Criteria followed by a new proposed alternative methodology that enables a degree of threat to be established utilizing existing data. Historical records and archaeological evidence are reviewed to establish the minimum extent of deforestation on the islands of Palau since the arrival of humans. This enabled a quantification of population declines of the majority of plants endemic to the archipelago. In the state of South Australia, the importance of establishing concepts of endemism is emphasized even further. A thorough scientific assessment is presented on the state’s proposed biological corridor reserve network. The report highlights the exclusion from the reserve system of one of the state’s most important hotspots of plant endemism that is highly threatened from habitat fragmentation and promotes the use of biodiversity indices to guide conservation priorities in setting up reserve networks.

The agroclimatic condition of Assam is most congenial for the lavish growth and development of wide varieties of Orchid species in natural habitat. During pre-independence time, Hooker (1888 – 1890) in his work Flora of British India include about 350 species of Orchids from Assam- the present North East India. Present paper deals with checklist of 398 specific and 6 intraspecific taxa belonging 102 genera of Orchids in Assam out of which 129 species under 49 genera are terrestrial and 275 specific and intraspecific under 53 genera are epiphytic or lithophytic. Dendrobium represents the largest genus with 58 taxa and 51 are monotypic genera found in the regions.

General Note Article is recommended to print as color digital version in recycled paper. ABSTRACT Cleisocentron neglectum is described as a new species from Chikmagalur Hills of Karnataka. It was previously confused with Indo-Sri Lankan species Robiquetia rosea (Lindl.) Garay. Taxonomic descriptions, morphological differences to their allied taxa, and colour photographs of the new taxon are also provided. 1. INTRODUCTION 109 Western Ghats- Sri Lankan region is considered as one among the richest biodiversity hotspot in world (Myers et al, 2000). This area holds and shares endemicity in higher extent. Hence, misinterpretation/merging/reinitiating of the narrow endemic taxa with its Page © 2020 Discovery Publication.
