AUGUST 2003 Uliga Figure 1. Majuro Atoll THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS ABSTRACT Majuro Atoll has been a center of activity for the Marshall Islands since 1944 and is now the major population center and port of entry for the country. Previous to the accompanying study, no thorough documentation has been made of the vascular plants of Majuro Atoll. There were only reports that were either part of much larger discussions on the entire Micronesian region or the Marshall Islands as a whole, and were of a very limited scope. Previous reports by Fosberg, Sachet & Oliver (1979, 1982, 1987) presented only 115 vascular plants on Majuro Atoll. In this study, 563 vascular plants have been recorded on Majuro. INTRODUCTION The accompanying report presents a complete flora of Majuro Atoll, which has never been done before. It includes a listing of all species, notation as to origin (i.e. indigenous, aboriginal introduction, recent introduction), as well as the original range of each. The major synonyms are also listed. For almost all, English common names are presented. Marshallese names are given, where these were found, and spelled according to the current spelling system, aside from limitations in diacritic markings. A brief notation of location is given for many of the species. The entire list of 563 plants is provided to give the people a means of gaining a better understanding of the nature of the plants of Majuro Atoll.

HOLMES Department of Biology Baylor University Waco, Texas 76798-7388 [email protected] ABSTRACT Jasminum laurifolium is reported as naturalized in Nueces County of the central Texas Gulf coast. A brief history of the genus in Texas and Florida is presented as well as information on the occurrence of J. laurifolium . Indications are that Schinus terebinthifolius , a major invasive plant on the Texas coast, may have facilitated this introduction by attracting migrating frugivorous birds and creating open niches that can be exploited by certain subtropical and tropical plants, including species yet to become established. The genus Jasminum (Oleaceae) consists of 200+ species of trees and erect or scandent shrubs. These are native to Africa, Asia, Australia, South Pacific Islands, and one species in the Mediterranean region (Chang Mei-chen et al. 1996). They are widely used as ornamentals in the tropical and subtropical areas of the world. At least ten species of Jasminum have been imported into the USA (Read 1962) and a number of species have been used to a considerable extent in landscaping pursuits.

    (Oleaceae) in Peninsular Malaysia

    Gardens' Bulletin Singapore 70 (1): 109–118. 2018 109 doi: 10.26492/gbs70(1).2018-11 One new species and two new records of Jasminum (Oleaceae) in Peninsular Malaysia R. Kiew Forest Research Institute Malaysia, 52109 Kepong, Selangor, Malaysia [email protected] ABSTRACT. Jasminum ledangense Kiew is a new species restricted to Gunung Ledang, Johor and Jasminum carissoides Kerr and J. nervosum Lour. are new records for Malaysia. Jasminum carissoides is restricted to limestone in Kedah (Langkawi) and Perlis and also occurs in Peninsular Thailand, while a narrow-leaved form of J. nervosum is found on limestone in Kedah (Langkawi). Jasminum insularum Kerr is confirmed as a distinct species. It is extremely rare and known from just three specimens, the type from Peninsular Thailand, one from Kelantan and another from Pahang in Malaysia. Descriptions are provided for these species. Keywords. Gunung Ledang, small-leaved jasmines, Thailand Introduction The new species described here, Jasminum ledangense Kiew, was collected by Ridley more than a hundred years ago. He identified his specimen as Jasminum laurifolium Roxb., which does not occur in Peninsular Malaysia (Ridley, 1901). For some reason, neither Jasminum laurifolium nor the Gunung Ledang specimen appeared in his Flora account (Ridley, 1923). Recent collections show that it is in fact a new species distinct in its narrow, coriaceous leaves with obscure venation. Since Ridley (1923) wrote the Flora of the Malay Peninsula, four distinct small-leaved jasmines (leaves 1.5–8.5 cm long) have been collected from limestone. Jasminum cordatum Ridl. is distinguished by its ovate, minutely pubescent leaves with pinnate venation where its three to four pairs of strongly ascending veins arise near the lamina base.
