The present study shows that there are fifteen species that can be recognized, consisting of one new species namemely Licuala beruensis, three known varieties, Licuala petiolulata var. kanepajensis, Licuala petiolulata var. petiolulata, Licuala matanensis var. paucisecta and thirteen know species namely: Licuala arbuscula, Licuala bintulensis, Licuala borneensis, Licuala halleriana, Licuala lanata, Licuala mattanensis, Licuala olivera, Licuala paludosa, licuala reptans, Licuala spinosa, Licuala triphyla and Licuala valida. Keywords: Revision, Genus Licuala, Kalimantan.

PALMS4s(3): 127-135 127 PALMS Smith: Leafletby Leaflet Volume45(3) 200'l Images of palms in Australian art history The palms of Australia were painted and drawn for many purposesin the last two centuries.They appear in drawings for the description of new species,as elements in the painted landscape,and are also mentioned in the accounts of European exploration and settlement of the country. The palms that were most often mentioned and illustratedby early Europeanexplorers and settlers in Australia, from the 18th century onwards, were from the genera Livistona, Archontophoenix and Ptychosperma.Beginning with Joseph Banks' first observations of the Australian vegetation in 1 788 (in fact the only plant to which he could attribute a name), many accounts by early settlers and explorers "cabbage contained referencesto the palm." The cabbagepalm in question, Livistonaaustralis, indeed once grew quite extensively around Botany Bay, site of the first European landing, and Sydney Harbor, site of the first fleets of settlers.Those people keeping accountsof settlement were mostly interested in the palms' immedlate and potential practical usesin providing food and construction material.

The economic value of the river has been reported very high. Rivesr is a habitat for numerous fishes which area important for local people along rivers. Rives also provide corridor for people movement. Rivers also place for economic activity. Floating market is a market located at rivers with traditional trader and seller equipped by traditional boat called Jukung. Along the Barito River, floating market point found in two place, Muara Quin and Lok Baitan. Fruit and vegetables are become the mains items in traditional floating market in Lok Baitan. Floating market has its special value for tourism attractions. Continued decrease of youngest generation to the river-based culture economic activity has been the central aspect of the future of floating market. This situation is different for modern market, which is interested among young generation in south Kalimantan.

  • GROWING Licuala in PALM BEACH COUNTY
    GROWING Licuala IN PALM BEACH COUNTY Submitted by Paul Craft Licualas are unquestionably among my favorite palms to grow. With over 150 taxa in the genus, it is also one of the most diverse of all palm genera. Some grow 60 feet or more in habitat, such as Licuala ramsayi, while others are Lilliputian palms, like Licuala triphylla, staying less than a foot tall. Most are solitary trunked species, but there are a few clumping varieties as well. Leaves can be undivided or split into a myriad array of deeply cut segments. A few exhibit a secondary petiole bearing one additional segment or occasionally two. Leaf shape can be completely circular or wedge shaped. Leaf stems are generally armed with small teeth, and a few can be treacherous to unprotected wayward fingers. Fruit is almost always orange to deep red and can put on quite a showy display. An interesting side note is Johannesteijsmannia is so closely related to Licuala, that there has been talk of lumping the two genera together. Because of their highly ornamental value, it is no wonder why Licualas are so sought after by enthusiasts. When used in groupings, many of the medium to larger species, such as L. ramsayi and L. grandis, are stunningly dramatic. Likewise, a viewer may well be taken aback coming upon a solitary specimen of Licuala peltata sumawongii in a landscape with its 6 foot undivided leaves. Small species, such as L. mattanensis ‘Mapu’, and L. orbicularis, are Licuala peltata var. sumawongii gorgeous in cozy settings to be viewed close-up.

  • Artocarpus Integer, Moraceae), and Its Wild Relative Bangkong (Artocarpus Integer Var
    Diversity and origins of an underutilized tropical fruit tree, cempedak (Artocarpus integer, Moraceae), and its wild relative bangkong (Artocarpus integer var. silvestris) A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE PROGRAM IN PLANT BIOLOGY AND CONSERVATION BY MARIA WANG MEI HUA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN PLANT BIOLOGY AND CONSERVATION FROM NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY AND THE CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN November 20, 2014 1 Abstract The underutilized tropical fruit tree, “cempedak” (Artocarpus integer (Thunb.) Merr. , Moraceae), is a major crop in Malaysia but the distribution of genetic diversity in the crop and its putative wild progenitor, “bangkong” (Artocarpus integer var. silvestris Corner), have not been studied. To investigate the diversity and origins of cempedak, we assessed the genetic diversity of cempedak and bangkong, explored geographic patterns in genetic structure and differentiation, and conducted phylogenetic analyses. We also tested whether cempedak cultivars were true-to- type. We used 12 microsatellite loci to genotype 269 cempedak and 187 bangkong individuals from Peninsular Malaysia, 64 cempedak individuals from Borneo, and 12 cempedak samples from other regions. We found that the number of effective alleles (Ne), allelic richness (Ar), Shannon’s Information Index (I), and expected heterozygosity (He) were higher in bangkong populations than cempedak populations, but cempedak populations harbored alleles not found in bangkong populations. In contrast, Borneo cempedak showed overall lower genetic diversity compared to Peninsular cempedak. Both bangkong and cempedak exhibited weak geographic structure within Peninsular Malaysia; but we found evidence for isolation-by-distance among bangkong populations, as well as increased genetic structure in cempedak at a broader geographic scale.
