    Author's Introduction by Nelda Ikenberry, 1999

    Author's Introduction by Nelda Ikenberry, 1999 While researching the life of legendary plant collector Mary Strong Clemens, I found a clue to the whereabouts of nearly 30 years of journals of her husband Joe Clemens -- early Central Pennsylvania Conference Methodist Episcopal minister who later became an Army Chaplain, Philippine Evangelist, and Mary's partner in botanic expeditions. Because the Clemens' gave all their worldly goods to missions and because World War II devastated their books and his manuscripts stored in Manila, it was with a great deal of surprise that Mary Clemens opened two boxes in Sep-tember of 1952. The boxes were shipped from Manila to her in Brisbane, Australia, where she was an elderly widow and 'refugee' of the war. They contained journals kept by her husband between 1892 and 1921, unscathed by the bombing. Eighty year old Mary, still collecting botanical specimens and ministering in Australia, wrote that she opened one at random and the first line she read said: "It was a joy to bring a soul to Christ today." She debated about what to do with them because "Joe's kin were too old to decipher them, also the postage might better be given to missions," as she wrote September 19, 1952. She pondered for several months and then in a letter of April 17, 1953 to Chaplain Edel, [President William W. Edel, Dickinson College, Carlisle PA], she acknowledged his gracious letter accepting the journals and noted his check for postage was far more than needed. "As it would hardly be honest for me to keep your generous check," she wrote, "so it is enclosed, but if the spirit moves you, send half of it to Dr.

Tt has been suggested by Dr. Fritz Kranzliu that the species of Dcn~ drochilum which I have assigned to the section Acoridmm ought to constitute a distinct genus. Dr. Kriinzlin asserts that the form of the labellum is quite distinctive in Acoridiuin on account of its likeness to the letter E. When I studied DendrochiluDi tenclhun in the preparation of Fascicle I of ^'^Orchidaceae" I felt strongly that it belonged to a genus entirely distinct from DendrocliUum because of the absence of stelidia from the column and of the peculiar subfiliform leaves. Since then I have been convinced by a study of more material that Acoridiuin belongs to DendrocliiJum. In the first place, the E-formed labellum on which Dr. Kranzlin lays emphasis is only characteristic of a majority of the species of the section Acoridiuin and is not found in D. turpe, D. oligan- fJiun), D. ]ia.'<fatum, I).

    Mount Kinabalu: Hotspot of Plant Diversity in Borneo

    BS 55 103 Mount Kinabalu: Hotspot of plant diversity in Borneo John H. Beaman Beaman, J.H. 2005. Mount Kinabalu: Hotspot of plant diversity in Borneo. Biol. Skr. 55: 103-127. ISSN 0366-3612. ISBN 87-7304-304-4. An overall programme of research on the flora of Mount Kinabalu has four major objectives as out­ lined below. (1) Inventory of vascular plants. The Kinabalu flora, with approximately 5,000 taxa recognized, is now completely enumerated and published. The database includes over 62,000 specimen records representing 218 families and 1,070 genera. The final part of the inventory (di­ cot families Magnoliaceae to Winteraceae) was published in 2004. The enormous diversity of Kin­ abalu occurs in an area of only 1,200 km2, making this flora one of the richest in the world. Analy­ ses of the general geographical distribution in four exemplar families involving 143 taxa indicated that floristic relationships are strongest with Borneo, the rest of West Malesia and continental East and Southeast Asia. Weaker affinities were found east of Wallace’s line in Central and East Malesia, Australia and the Pacific islands. Floristic similarities between Kinabalu and a few other Malesian high mountains are briefly considered. A website (http://herbarium.lsa.umich.edu/kinabalu) provides searchable databases on pteridophytes, gymnosperms, monocots, and dicots. (2) Geo­ graphic information system. A geographic information system (GIS) is being used in the floristic, phylogenetic and ethnobotanical studies. Over 500 locally named landforms and villages, most of which were not previously mapped, are included on a coloured topographic map that is ready for publication.

Turner Singapore Botanical Liaison Officer, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AE, U.K. [email protected] Singapore Botanic Gardens, National Parks Board, 1 Cluny Road, 259569, Singapore ABSTRACT. A list of the Annonaceae taxa indigenous to the Asia-Pacific Region (including Australia) is presented, including full synonymy and typification with an outline of the geographic distribution. Some 1100 species in 40 genera are listed. A number of nomenclatural changes are made. The species of Artabotrys from Java previously referred to as Artabotrys blumei Hook.f. & Thomson is described here as Artabotrys javanicus I.M.Turner, because A. blumei is shown to be the correct name for the Chinese species generally known as A. hongkongensis Hance. The type of Uvaria javana Dunal is a specimen of U. dulcis Dunal. The new combination Uvaria blumei (Boerl.) I.M.Turner based on U. javana var. blumei Boerl. is therefore proposed as the correct name for the species known for many years as U. javana. Other new combinations proposed are Fissistigma parvifolium (Craib) I.M.Turner, Friesodielsia borneensis var. sumatrana (Miq.) I.M.Turner, Sphaerocoryne touranensis (Bân) I.M.Turner and Uvaria kontumensis (Bân) I.M.Turner. The replacement name Sphaerocoryne astiae I.M.Turner is provided for Popowia gracilis Jovet-Ast. Melodorum fruticosum Lour. is reduced to a synonym of Uvaria siamensis (Scheff.) L.L.Zhou et al. Many new lectotypes and neotypes are designated.

    Archives and Special Collections Dickinson College Carlisle, PA COLLECTION REGISTER Name: Clemens, Joseph (1862-1936) MC 2001.17 Material: Diaries (1892-1921) Volume: 1.5 linear feet (Document Boxes 1-4) Donation: Mary Strong Clemens, 1953 Usage: These materials have been donated without restrictions on usage. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Joseph Clemens was born on December 9, 1862, in the rugged county of Cornwall in England. His family of Cornish iron miners migrated to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and then to Eichelsburg, Pennsylvania. Joseph was the only one of five brothers who did not follow the family tradition and become a miner. In 1890, at the age of 28, Joseph Clemens entered Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania after probable preparation at the Williamsport Seminary. At Dickinson, he pursued the philosophical course and studied to be a missionary. While at Dickinson, he was a charter member of the Sigma Chi chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. A very hard- working mature student, he was the treasurer for the Union Philosophical Society and the treasurer of the Dickinson Prohibition Club. He also played in the College orchestra and sang in the College choir, and at the same time served as class poet and as a member of the Democratic committee at the college Y.M.C.A. After graduation in 1894, Clemens served as a pastor for the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Episcopal Conference, and in 1896 married Mary Strong. In 1901, he became a chaplain for the United States Army. His main duties were in a "military-missionary" capacity in the Philippine Islands, and he remained in the area until his retirement from active service in 1918.
