In addition, because optical satellite data collection can often be obscured by cloud cover in the humid tropics, some late-in-the-year loss may be picked up in the next year following persistent cloud cover. Global Forest Watch (GFW) therefore recommends using a three-year moving average to assess totals and trends in the tree cover loss data (shown in Fig 1). The total amount of forest loss between 2001 to 2018 was 41,758 ha or almost 10% of the Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary. In 2001, communities living in and around Prey Lang began to advocate protecting their ancestral forest lands from large-scale illegal logging and land grabbing, which was destroying local communities’ access to natural resources. Today, PLCN is a well-organised group of communities working to protect Prey Lang in collaboration with other stakeholders. PLCN conducts regular forest patrols to collect data on forest resources, illegal activities and climate change using a specially designed smartphone application known as the Prey Lang app. The data are analysed in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen and the results published in reports, press releases and on social media. PLCN’s innovative approach to environmental justice continues to attract international attention and the network has been awarded four international prizes, most lately the Energy Globe Award 2019. 2 Hansen, M.

    BLUMEA 50: 357–365 Published on 14 July 2005 http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/000651905X623021 ANCISTROCLADUS BENOMENSIS (ANCISTROCLADACEAE): A NEW SPECIES FROM PENINSULAR MALAYSIA H. RISCHER1,2,5, G. HEUBL3, H. MEIMBERG3, M. DREYER2, H.A. HADI 4 & G. BRINGMANN1,5 SUMMARY Ancistrocladus benomensis Rischer & G. Bringmann, a new species from Gunung Benom, Malaysia is described and illustrated. Diagnostic notes concerning morphology, occurrence of specific naphthyl­ isoquinoline alkaloids, and support from molecular analyses are provided. Key words: Ancistrocladus benomensis, Ancistrocladaceae, Gunung Benom, Malaysia. INTRODUCTION The monotypic genus Ancistrocladus Wall. (Ancistrocladaceae) comprises approxi­ mately 20 species (Gereau, 1997) and is characterized by a disjunct distribution in the palaeotropics with two areas of speciation, one in tropical West and Central Africa and one in South East Asia. All taxa are scandent shrubs or woody lianas with tendril­ like modified shoots provided with characteristic circinate woody hooks as climbing devices. Recently a synoptic revision of the African taxa of the genus Ancistrocladus has been presented by Cheek (2000), with an identification key and detailed information concerning taxonomy, distribution, and ecology of the 13 species recognized. For the Asian taxa an equivalent comprehensive study is still lacking and there is much uncertainty in the delimitation of taxa as well as on ecological preferences, seed set, pollination, and flowering rhythm. Concerning taxonomy one has to refer to a synopsis presented by Gilg (1925) and to an annotated checklist of species which was compiled by Gereau (1997) based on a survey of local floras. In this latter overview a detailed account on the typification for 25 binominals is presented, including 12 valid species recognized by the author for South East Asia: A.

  • Caryophyllales: a Key Group for Understanding Wood
    Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 164, 342–393. With 21 figures Caryophyllales: a key group for understanding wood anatomy character states and their evolutionboj_1095 342..393 SHERWIN CARLQUIST FLS* Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, 1212 Mission Canyon Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93110, USA Received 13 May 2010; accepted for publication 28 September 2010 Definitions of character states in woods are softer than generally assumed, and more complex for workers to interpret. Only by a constant effort to transcend the limitations of glossaries can a more than partial understanding of wood anatomy and its evolution be achieved. The need for such an effort is most evident in a major group with sufficient wood diversity to demonstrate numerous problems in wood anatomical features. Caryophyllales s.l., with approximately 12 000 species, are such a group. Paradoxically, Caryophyllales offer many more interpretive problems than other ‘typically woody’ eudicot clades of comparable size: a wider range of wood structural patterns is represented in the order. An account of character expression diversity is presented for major wood characters of Caryophyllales. These characters include successive cambia (more extensively represented in Caryophyllales than elsewhere in angiosperms); vessel element perforation plates (non-bordered and bordered, with and without constrictions); lateral wall pitting of vessels (notably pseudoscalariform patterns); vesturing and sculpturing on vessel walls; grouping of vessels; nature of tracheids and fibre-tracheids, storying in libriform fibres, types of axial parenchyma, ray anatomy and shifts in ray ontogeny; juvenilism in rays; raylessness; occurrence of idioblasts; occurrence of a new cell type (ancistrocladan cells); correlations of raylessness with scattered bundle occurrence and other anatomical discoveries newly described and/or understood through the use of scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy.

  • Ericaceae in Malesia: Vicariance Biogeography, Terrane Tectonics and Ecology
    311 Ericaceae in Malesia: vicariance biogeography, terrane tectonics and ecology Michael Heads Abstract Heads, Michael (Science Faculty, University of Goroka, PO Box 1078, Goroka, Papua New Guinea. Current address: Biology Department, University of the South Pacific, P.O. Box 1168, Suva, Fiji. Email: [email protected]) 2003. Ericaceae in Malesia: vicariance biogeography, terrane tectonics and ecology. Telopea 10(1): 311–449. The Ericaceae are cosmopolitan but the main clades have well-marked centres of diversity and endemism in different parts of the world. Erica and its relatives, the heaths, are mainly in South Africa, while their sister group, Rhododendron and relatives, has centres of diversity in N Burma/SW China and New Guinea, giving an Indian Ocean affinity. The Vaccinioideae are largely Pacific-based, and epacrids are mainly in Australasia. The different centres, and trans-Indian, trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic Ocean disjunctions all indicate origin by vicariance. The different main massings are reflected in the different distributions of the subfamilies within Malesia. With respect to plant architecture, in Rhododendron inflorescence bracts and leaves are very different. Erica and relatives with the ‘ericoid’ habit have similar leaves and bracts, and the individual plants may be homologous with inflorescences of Rhododendron. Furthermore, in the ericoids the ‘inflorescence-plant’ has also been largely sterilised, leaving shoots with mainly just bracts, and flowers restricted to distal parts of the shoot. The epacrids are also ‘inflorescence-plants’ with foliage comprised of ‘bracts’, but their sister group, the Vaccinioideae, have dimorphic foliage (leaves and bracts). In Malesian Ericaceae, the four large genera and the family as a whole have most species in the 1500–2000 m altitudinal belt, lower than is often thought and within the range of sweet potato cultivation.

Of the three species recorded so far from Northeast India, A. heyneanus Wallich ex J. Graham is reported for the first time from the Indian state of Meghalaya and A. tectorius (Loureiro) Merrill is reported as extended distribution in Mizoram. Key words: Ancistrocladus heyneanus, A. tectorius, A. wallichii, Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, extended distribution, Northeast India INTRODUCTION Ancistrocladus Wallich ex Wight & Arnott is the only genus of Ancistrocladaceae. This monogeneric family is placed next to Dipterocarpaceae from which it is distinguished based on unilocular ovary with a basal ovule, seeds with ruminate endosperm, climbing habit, sympodial structure, exstipulate leaves and hooked branches (Das 1993). The genus Ancistrocladus represents 12 species in World, geographically confined to Tropical W. Africa, S. E. Asia and S. China. In India the genus is represented by ca. 4 species, namely Ancistrocladus attenuatus Dyer, A. heyneanus Wallich ex J. Graham, A. tectorius (Loureiro) Merrill and A. wallichii Planchon. Of these 4 species, A. heyneanus is phyto- geographically endemic to India occurring in Maharastra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala (Das 1993). Whereas, A.
