The results suggest that The stand structure and tree composition of VJR Timbah's soils are infertile, since D. Timbah Virgin Jungle Reserve (VGR Timbah) beccarii, the most abundant species in the plots, were studied. Three locations in the VJR were prefers leached whitish or yellowish sandy selected, and at each location, 1-ha study plot soils. The results also suggest that the VJR had was established. The plots were sub-divided experienced a less significant logging into 10×10 m2 sub-plots, and in each sub-plot, encroachment or invasion of disturbed forest stem diameters of trees > 5 cm diameter-at-breast- trees. The results imply that VJR Timbah still height (DBH) were measured. The trees were maintains its undisturbed forest stand structure identified, and their relative density and relative and tree composition, although it is relatively basal area per hectare were calculated. Little small in size and surrounded by a large matrix of difference was found in tree density and basal heavily logged forest. area per ha between the plots. From the plots, 2,369 trees > 5 cm DBH were enumerated. Total INTRODUCTION basal area of the trees was 119.5 m2.

Plant Life of Western Australia
INTRODUCTION The characteristic features of the vegetation of Australia I. General Physiography At present the animals and plants of Australia are isolated from the rest of the world, except by way of the Torres Straits to New Guinea and southeast Asia. Even here adverse climatic conditions restrict or make it impossible for migration. Over a long period this isolation has meant that even what was common to the floras of the southern Asiatic Archipelago and Australia has become restricted to small areas. This resulted in an ever increasing divergence. As a consequence, Australia is a true island continent, with its own peculiar flora and fauna. As in southern Africa, Australia is largely an extensive plateau, although at a lower elevation. As in Africa too, the plateau increases gradually in height towards the east, culminating in a high ridge from which the land then drops steeply to a narrow coastal plain crossed by short rivers. On the west coast the plateau is only 00-00 m in height but there is usually an abrupt descent to the narrow coastal region. The plateau drops towards the center, and the major rivers flow into this depression. Fed from the high eastern margin of the plateau, these rivers run through low rainfall areas to the sea. While the tropical northern region is characterized by a wet summer and dry win- ter, the actual amount of rain is determined by additional factors. On the mountainous east coast the rainfall is high, while it diminishes with surprising rapidity towards the interior. Thus in New South Wales, the yearly rainfall at the edge of the plateau and the adjacent coast often reaches over 100 cm. -
High Tree Endemism Recorded in Kanana Kanda Isolated Forest Fragment in Wet Zone of Sri Lanka
International Journal of Agriculture, Forestry and Plantation, Vol. 2 (February.) ISSN 2462-1757 2 01 6 HIGH TREE ENDEMISM RECORDED IN KANANA KANDA ISOLATED FOREST FRAGMENT IN WET ZONE OF SRI LANKA P.K.J. De Mel Department of Agricultural and Plantation Engineering Open University of Sri Lanka, P.O. Box 21, Nawala, Nugegoda (10250), Sri Lanka Email: [email protected] K.A.J.M. Kuruppuarachchi Department of Botany Open University of Sri Lanka, P.O. Box 21, Nawala, Nugegoda (10250), Sri Lanka Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Kanana Kanda is an isolated lowland hill with an altitude of 115m covered by natural forest with an extent of 13ha. The forest fragment located in wet zone of Sri Lanka where much species diversity and endemism is found. The forest is disappearing fast due to anthropogenic influences. Therefore the present study was carried out with the objective of assessment of existing tree flora. Reconnaissance survey was first conducted in the forest in order to gather basic information on vegetation types and floristic characteristics. Four transects with a size of 100m x 5m each were laid for sampling trees. A woody plant with a dbh equal or greater than 5cm considered as a tree. A total number of 464 trees were enumerated in the forest. Field identification of species performed with the consultation of personnel who have sufficient knowledge, skills and experience on similar vegetation. Herbarium specimens were prepared from each tree unidentified in the field and later identified those comparing with the specimens preserved in the National Herbarium. Present study, recorded a total number of 50 different species belongs to 29 families. -

Email: [email protected] Abstract Diospyros mespiliformis (Hochst. ex A.DC.; Ebenaceae) is a large deciduous medicinal plant. This plant species is currently listed as endangered in Saudi Arabia. Molecular identification of this plant species based on short sequence regions (571 and 664 bp) of plastid rbcL (ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate carboxylase) gene was investigated in this study. The endangered plant specimens were collected from Al-Baha, Saudi Arabia (GPS coordinate: 19.8543987, 41.3059349). Phylogenetic tree inferred from the rbcL gene sequences showed that this species is very closely related with D. brandisiana. Close relationship was also observed among D. bejaudii, D. Philippinensis and D. releyi (≥99.7% sequence homology). The partial rbcL gene sequence region (571 bp) that was amplified by rbcL primer-pair rbcLaF-rbcLaR failed to discriminate D. mespiliformis from the closely related plant species, D. brandisiana. In contrast, primer-pair rbcL1F-rbcL724R yielded longer amplicon, discriminated the species from D. -

Pemoposan Sebagai Bukti Taksonomi Beberapa Jenis Diospyros. Floribunda 5(2): 31–47. — Kita cenderung menggunakan struktur generatif untuk identifikasi tanaman, meskipun ketersediaan struktur generatif di lapangan seringkali menjadi masalah bagi praktik identifikasi tanaman yang berbuah hanya sekali dalam setahun, seperti pada Diospyros L. (Ebenaceae). Pemoposan (leaf flushing) masih jarang digunakan dan implikasi taksonominya belum pernah diperhitungkan. Penelitian ini mempelajari pemoposan dan implikasi taksonominya pada delapan jenis Diospyros di Ecopark Cibinong Science Center LIPI, Bogor (Jawa Barat). Observasi karakter morfologi dilakukan pada tiga cabang (masing-masing memiliki tiga set pemoposan dan sebuah kuncup apikal dorman) pada 22 individu Diospyros. Perkembangan kuncup Diospyros menghasilkan satu set pemoposan yang dapat dibedakan dengan set pemoposan yang sebelumnya. Pemoposan setelah periode dormansi dan adanya daun tereduksi pada beberapa spesies mengindikasikan adanya ritme pertumbuhan kuncup. Pemoposan dapat dite- mukan beberapa bulan sekali atau di sepanjang tahun dengan membutuhkan waktu 40–55 hari hingga terben- tuknya daun dewasa. Pemoposan menyediakan 39 karakter yang dapat digunakan sebagai bukti taksonomi untuk membedakan delapan jenis Diospyros berikut dengan kunci identifikasinya.

By Elmer D. ^Ikkrii.i., Botanist. INTRODUCTIOX. The preparation of the present work was undertaken at the request of Capt. G. P. Ahern, Chief of the Forestry Bureau, the objeet being to facihtate the work of the various employees of that Bureau in identifying the tree species of economic importance found in the Arcliipelago. For the interests of the Forestry Bureau the names of the va- rious tree species only are of importance, but in compiling this list all plant names avaliable have been included in order to make the present Avork more generally useful to those Americans resident in the Archipelago who are interested in the vegetation about them.
