  • Stop Raising Issue of Candidate Lineup, Says Dr Masing
    26 AUG 2001 Sarawak-Polls STOP RAISING ISSUE OF CANDIDATE LINEUP, SAYS DR MASING KUCHING, Aug 26 (Bernama) -- Leaders of Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS), a component party of the Sarawak Barisan Nasional (BN), should stop raising the issue of the party's candidate lineup, its publicity chief, Datuk Dr James Jemut Masing, said today. "As far as I am concerned, the candidate lineup is final as announced by party president Datuk Amar Leo Moggie yesterday," he told reporters after opening a contemporary ceramics exhibition on "Bunga Terung" at a gallery at the waterfront here. He said the leaders should now close ranks and ensure that the BN won the state election. Moggie had said that the list, which had been endorsed by the party's supreme council, was official and only awaiting endorsement from BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Moggie's announcement put to rest speculations that PBDS deputy president Datuk Daniel Tajem was attempting to make a comeback to active politics. It also meant that Tajem will not be getting PBDS's ticket to contest in the upcoming election despite speculations that he would be replacing Mong Dagang for the Bukit Begunan state seat, which was once Tajem's stronghold for 22 years. Moggie had also said that incumbent Datuk Sng Chee Hua (Pelagus) would be replaced by his 22-year old son, Larry, a new trend for PBDS which is to inject the youth spirit into politics. The other PBDS incumbents retained are Dublin Unting (Batang Ai), Gabriel Adit (Ngemah), Joseph Entulu (Tamin), John Sikie Tayai (Kakus), Datuk Dr James Jemut Masing (Baleh) and Stanley Ajang (Belaga).

  • Pleuroschisma, a New Section of Cyrtandra (Gesneriaceae) from Borneo
    Pleuroschisma, a New Section of Cyrtandra (Gesneriaceae) from Borneo O.M. HILLIARD1,B.L. BURTT1AND M.H. BOKHARI' 'Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, EH3 SLR, U.K. ?Multan. Pakistan Abstract Twelve Bornean species of Cyt~ut~drcrconstitute a new section, Section Ple~msd~isn~u,the name derived from an important diagnostic character, namely the unique fruit with a median septicidal split on each side (not reaching either apex or base of the fruit).

Two species recognized remain nameless because the material is inadequate to typify a name. Introduction There are already 40 sectional names in Cyrtandru and the limits and interrelationships of the groups so designated are far from being understood; the addition of yet another sectional name to the list may seem somewhat irresponsible. Nevertheless, the fruit characters that are used to diagnose this section - the smooth fruit wall (due to a thin layer of sclerenchyma beneath the epidermis, Fig. 3), and the septicidal splits with inrolled margins (Fig. 1) form a unique combination in this small group. It is the lateral splits in the fruit-wall that form the basis for the sectional name Pleul-oscAisnza; these splits, it should be noted, are septicidal and there is some reason to suppose that septicidal dehiscence may have been the primitive condition in the family as it is found in Ranlondu, H(xheiYcu, in the type species of Corwliodisc~us,all on the northern fringe of the subfamily Cyrtandroideae, and in the tribe Coronantherae, a basal tribe of subfamily Gesnerioideae found in New Caledonia, E.

Three Malay dialects have been revealed in this area, namely (1) the Sarawak Malay Dialect (SMD) (2) Brunei Malay Dialect (BMD); and (3) Baram Malay (BM). Linguistically, the SMD in Baram river basin is identified as a sub- variant of SMD in Sarawak (similar to the Rejang, Saribas and Kuching dialect). The SMD, which only consists of three vowels, is categorized as the sub dialect of Brunei Malay. This paper also described the BM studied by Needham (1958). In brief, BM is a kind of Bazaar Malay which is widely spoken by the non-Malay tribes in Baram river basin Key words: Malay dialect, Brunei Malay dialect, Baram Malay, Baram basin PENGENALAN Di Sarawak, persebaran dialek-dialek Melayu agak menarik, iaitu berdasarkan “sistem sungai”2.

The type specimens of the four Dysphaea taxa named by E. de Selys Longchamps, i.e. dimidiata, limbata, semilimbata and lugens, were studied and their taxonomic status is dis- cussed. Lectotypes are designated for D. dimidiata and D. limbata. D. dimidiata is recorded from Palawan (the Philip- pines) for the first time. A molecular analysis using three markers (COI, 16S and 28S) is presented. This includes specimens of three Sundaland species of the genus (D.

  • Phylogeny and Systematics of the Rauvolfioideae
    PHYLOGENY AND SYSTEMATICS Andre´ O. Simo˜es,2 Tatyana Livshultz,3 Elena OF THE RAUVOLFIOIDEAE Conti,2 and Mary E. Endress2 (APOCYNACEAE) BASED ON MOLECULAR AND MORPHOLOGICAL EVIDENCE1 ABSTRACT To elucidate deeper relationships within Rauvolfioideae (Apocynaceae), a phylogenetic analysis was conducted using sequences from five DNA regions of the chloroplast genome (matK, rbcL, rpl16 intron, rps16 intron, and 39 trnK intron), as well as morphology. Bayesian and parsimony analyses were performed on sequences from 50 taxa of Rauvolfioideae and 16 taxa from Apocynoideae. Neither subfamily is monophyletic, Rauvolfioideae because it is a grade and Apocynoideae because the subfamilies Periplocoideae, Secamonoideae, and Asclepiadoideae nest within it. In addition, three of the nine currently recognized tribes of Rauvolfioideae (Alstonieae, Melodineae, and Vinceae) are polyphyletic. We discuss morphological characters and identify pervasive homoplasy, particularly among fruit and seed characters previously used to delimit tribes in Rauvolfioideae, as the major source of incongruence between traditional classifications and our phylogenetic results. Based on our phylogeny, simple style-heads, syncarpous ovaries, indehiscent fruits, and winged seeds have evolved in parallel numerous times. A revised classification is offered for the subfamily, its tribes, and inclusive genera. Key words: Apocynaceae, classification, homoplasy, molecular phylogenetics, morphology, Rauvolfioideae, system- atics. During the past decade, phylogenetic studies, (Civeyrel et al., 1998; Civeyrel & Rowe, 2001; Liede especially those employing molecular data, have et al., 2002a, b; Rapini et al., 2003; Meve & Liede, significantly improved our understanding of higher- 2002, 2004; Verhoeven et al., 2003; Liede & Meve, level relationships within Apocynaceae s.l., leading to 2004; Liede-Schumann et al., 2005). the recognition of this family as a strongly supported Despite significant insights gained from studies clade composed of the traditional Apocynaceae s.
