(MELASTOMATACEAE) ON MT MAKILING, PHILIPPINES J. Peter Quakenbush1 ABSTRACT An investigation into the reproductive biology of Medinilla multiflora Merr. (Melastomataceae) from Mt Makiling, Luzon, is presented. This includes a morphological and distributional exami- nation of the population on the mountain, the documentation of reproductive phenological patterns, a study of the mating system and observations of biotic interactions. Measurements were made of trait variability, reproductive phenology was characterised from field and herbarium observations, stigmatic receptivity was tested by counting pollen germination, insect exclusion and hand-pollination experiments helped determine the mating system and field observations recorded the identity and behaviour of floral visitors. Significant reproductive morphological differences were found between described populations. This identified a need for the recognition of this diversity and further delimitation of the Medinilla multiflora species complex. Although Medinilla multiflora produced flowers and fruit year-round, the population also exhibited cycles of increased reproduction most likely initiated by seasonal low temperatures.

S. A.* Summary Forty-eight species ofMedinilla are now known from Borneo, 28 of which are describedas new. At least 20 taxa are known only from one to three collections. Eleven species groups have been of the awaits further of recognized and defined.A more thorough understanding genus study Philip- pine and New Guinea materials. A key to the Bornean species, illustrations of 15 species, and eco- logical notes are provided. Two previously described species are recorded for the first time for Bor- neo: Medinilla succulenta (Blume) Blume, and M. pterocaula Blume. One new combinationand five reductions have been made. Medinilla tawaensis Merrill is transferred to Catanthera; M. caudatifolia Schwartz and M. hasseltii Blume var. subsessilis Schwartz are reduced to M. crassifolia (Reinw. ex Blume) Blume; M. dajakorum Schwartz is reduced to M. corallina Cogn.; M. borneensis Blume and M. motleyi Hook. f. ex Triana are conspecific with M. macrophylla Blume. Introduction Medinilla (Melastomataceae) is a genus of epiphytic and terrestrial shrubs and climbersof the Paleotropics. It includes about 400 species (Shaw, 1973) distributed in Africa, Madagascar, India, Ceylon, Burma, Indochina,southern China, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, and eastward to the islands of the Malay Archipelago, New Guinea, northern Australia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. It is by far the largest of all melastome genera occurring in Malesia, a floristic region made up of the Malay Peninsula and islands of the Malay Archipelago extending to New Guinea.

  • Supplementary of Molecules
    Supplementary Materials 1. Taxonomy of Melastomataceae Melastomataceae, the seventh largest family of flowering plants, belong to the order myrtales along with aristolochiaceae, combretaceae, crypteroniaceae, halorrhagidaceae, lythraceae, memecylaceae, myrtaceae, onagraceae and rhizophoraceae. Table S1. Summary of Melastomataceae taxonomy (Adapted from Renner, 1993 [2]). Subfamilies Tribes Astronieae (Triana, 1865) 4 Genera, 149 species Blackeeae (Hook,1867) 2 Genera, 162 species Microlicieae (Naudin, 1849) 11 Genera, 67 species Rhexieae (D.C 1828) 1 Genus, 13 species Melastomatoideae (Naudin 1849) Sonerileae (Triana, 1865) 40 Genera, 560–600 species Miconieae (D.C 1828) 38 Genera, 2200 species Merianieae (Triana, 1865) 16 Genera, 220 species Melastomeae (Osbeckeae, D.C 1828) 47 Genera, 850 species Kibesioideae(Naudin, 1849) Kibessieae (Krasser, 1893) Pternandra (15 spp.) Jussieu (1789) first recognized the melastomataceae as a natural unit; however, David Don (1823) was who put structure into the family. Triana, a Colombian native with extensive knowledge in the field, published his system in 1865 and slightly modified it in 1871. Triana’s system grouped the melastomataceae in three subfamilies, melastomatoideae, astronioideae and memecyloideae; which include thirteen tribes. Owing to the size of this family, the internal classification has been reviewed several times. A recent systematic analysis of melastomataceous plants re-structured and placed them into two subfamilies, kibesioideae and melastomatoideae, which contains only nine

  • Highland Tropics Gallery the Conservatory’S Highland Tropics May Be Just Through the Next Door, but It Is a World Away from the Low-Lying Rainforest
    Conservatory of Flowers Updated: 6/16 Highland Tropics Gallery The Conservatory’s Highland Tropics may be just through the next door, but it is a world away from the low-lying rainforest. Here, temperatures are refreshingly cool, and colorful orchids grow on moss-covered trees. This gallery provides an intimate glimpse of the life in the mountain forests of the tropics. Several kinds of forest occur in these mountainous regions – lower montane forest, cloud forest, upper montane forest and sometimes even alpine forest when mountains are tall enough. Of all of these high elevation jungles however, the cloud forest casts the greatest spell on the imagination. The cloud forest is an eerie and wonderful place. Frequently shrouded in mist and fog, their steep hillsides cascading with waterfalls are covered by short trees, twisted and gnarled by the harsh elements and the weight of the thousands of plants that live on their limbs. The majority of cloud forests occur in the high mountains at elevations of 3000 to 10,000 feet generally. On steep and humid equatorial islands, they can begin as far down as 1600 feet. Like the rainforest, these places are wet. Tropical cloud forests, cool though they may be, experience nearly 100% humidity throughout the year. They receive up to 200 inches of rain annually, and when it isn’t raining, there are always the clouds. Trees and plants in this forest are highly adept at capturing water from fog and mist, storing it and slowly dripping it down to the ground. Cloud forest soil is like an enormous sponge, a mass of damp humus and peat that, like a natural water tap, slowly releases a steady supply of fresh, filtered water to animals, plants and people downstream.

  • THAISZIA Exotic Butterflies and Moths (Lepidoptera) in Botanical Gardens – Potential for Education and Research

(2015): Exotic butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) in botanical gardens – potential for education and research. – Thaiszia – J. Bot. 25 (Suppl. 1): 81-147. – ISSN 1210-0420. Abstract: Exhibitions of live butterflies and moths can have very high educational potential. In natural environments, lepidopteran and plant taxa closely interact and many characteristics of representatives of both these groups are results of such relationships. Therefore, free flying butterflies in botanical gardens enable demonstrations of a wide variety of natural phenomena studied within entomology, ecology, botany, evolutionary theory etc. The Victoria greenhouse of Botanical Garden of P. J. Šafárik University in Košice provides excellent conditions for such observations. Combination of tropical and subtropical plants with live exotic butterflies and moths, in many cases from the same regions as the plant taxa, gives a unique opportunity to see phenomena usually naturally available only far away from Central Europe. During annual seasonal “butterfly shows” in the years 2008 – 2015, the visitors of this greenhouse could see at least 182 different lepidopteran taxa mostly from Central and South America, Africa and South East Asia. Next to the presented species diversity, some observations on food preferences, behavior, mimetic forms, natural enemies and other ecological relationships are discussed here.

MADULID , 6 7 8 AIDA B. LAPIS , GREGORIO I. TEXON , ANTONIO C. MANILA , 9 and PRESCILLANO M. ZAMORA An assessment of the conservation status of the full bryophyte and vascular flora of the Philippines was conducted. The threat categories used follow those previously prescribed and defined in Philippine Republic Act No. 9147, the ‘Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act’ and its Implementing Rules and Regulations which were derived from the 1994 IUCN Categories and Criteria (ver. 2.3), and those in the DENR Administrative Order No. 2004- 15. The resulting list of the threatened plants of the Philippines comprises 694 taxa in the following categories: Critically Endangered 99, Endangered 186, Vulnerable 176, Other Threatened Species 64, and Other Wildlife Species 169. The taxa in the list include 478 angiosperms, 11 gymnosperms, 203 pteridophytes, and two bryophytes (mosses). More than 77 percent of all the taxa listed are endemic to the Philippines.
