Short Communication: The potential of secondary metabolites of Myrmecodia tuberosa from different host trees. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 170-174. Ant-plants (Myrmecodia tuberosa Jack.) is a medicinal plant that could potentially inhibit cancer cell growth. Ant-plants is epiphytic plants whose commonly life was attached to the host tree. Several information from local people stated that ant-plants attaching to different host trees possesses different active compounds. The purpose of this study was to determine the secondary metabolites of each parts of ant-plants including leaves, stems and tubers from different tree hosts i.e mango and durian. Result from phytochemical analysis showed that ant-plants living in mango and durian trees positively contained the metabolic compounds including phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins and steroid/triterpenoid. The Total of Phenolic Content (TPC) and the Total of Flavonoids Content (TFC) on the leaves of ant-plants was higher than that in tubers or stems of ant-plants derived from both host trees i.e mango and durian.

  • Ant Gardens of Camponotus (Myrmotarsus) Irritabilis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Formicinae) and Hoya Elliptica (Apocynaceae) in Southeast Asia
    ASIAN MYRMECOLOGY Volume 9, e009001, 2017 ISSN 1985-1944 | eISSN: 2462-2362 © Andreas Weissflog, Eva Kaufmann and DOI: 10.20362/am.009001 Ulrich Maschwitz Ant gardens of Camponotus (Myrmotarsus) irritabilis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Formicinae) and Hoya elliptica (Apocynaceae) in Southeast Asia Andreas Weissflog*, Eva Kaufmann and Ulrich Maschwitz Department of Biosciences, Goethe-University Frankfurt, D-60054 Frankfurt, Germany *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Camponotus irritabilis (Formicidae: Formicinae) and Hoya elliptica (Apocynaceae) are very closely associated in ant gardens in Malaya and Sumatra. Ants and epiphyte partners have some characteristics that make them especially suitable for this association: The ants selectively retrieve the seeds of their epiphyte partners, and they fertilize their carton nests on which the plants are growing. In comparison to non-myrmecophytic Hoya coriacea, Hoya elliptica performs an extensive root growth as long as growing on moist substrate. The roots stabilize the ants’ nests and anchor them to the host tree. Camponotus irritabilis initiate ant gardens by constructing carton buildings on branches, which serve as substrate for incorporated seeds and climbing parts of already established Hoya elliptica. Camponotus irritabilis influence actively the available chamber size within their nests, by biting off roots, fertilizing only certain parts of the nests and retrieving seeds into the ‘growing zone’ of the nest building. Ants thereby prevent uninhibited, space-consuming root growth but influence stability and architecture of the ant garden by guiding the spread out of the roots. As additional partners of the ant garden system, trophobionts, un- determined fungi on the inner nest substrate, several parabiotic Crematogaster spp. and a probably lestobiotic Solenopsis sp.

Jebb1, C.R. Huxley2 Key words Abstract Hydnophytum (Psychotrieae Hydnophytinae) is revised. A key is provided, and an informal infrageneric grouping is proposed. Variation in tuber structure is discussed. Fifty-five species are recognised, of which 19 are Fiji described as new. For one species a number of varieties are also described. Forty-four species are found in New Hydnophytum Guinea, of which 41 are endemic. The recent transfer of a number of taxa into an expanded concept of Squamellaria Malesia based on a molecular phylogeny is addressed.

Box 1407, 90715 Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia *Author for correspondence: [email protected] Background – Hydnophytum puffii Y.W.Low, Sugau & K.M.Wong, a linear-leaved epiphytic ant-plant is described as new from Borneo using morphological characters based on specimens preserved in the Sandakan and Singapore Herbaria. This new species is so far known only from Sabah, Malaysia. Methods – This study is based on herbarium materials and field observations in Sabah. Conventional herbarium techniques were applied for taxonomy, while the IUCN conservation status was assessed using GeoCAT. Results – Hydnophytum puffii is closely related to H. angustifolium Merr. but differs in having glabrous young twigs, 4–5 pairs of leaf secondary veins on the lower leaf surface, a corolla tube that is densely covered with translucent hairs inside the throat around the anthers, and prolate mature fruits. This new taxon is the only species in Borneo to have linear leaves as the other two taxa, namely H. coriaceum Becc. and H. formicarum Jack have broad elliptic leaves. Key words – Borneo, conservation status, Hydnophytum, Malaysia, new species, Psychotrieae, Rubiaceae, Sabah.

Vascular epiphytes do not share distinguishing systematic or biological profiles. Taxonomic participation is broad although the group is dominated by higher ferns, members of a few dicot families and monocotyledons, particularly orchids. Except for some general features that promote anchorage in tree crowns and aerial dispersal of diaspores, forms and life processes associated with epiphytism also occur in soil-rooted flora. Among the more pervasive characteristics of canopy-dependent vegetation are drought tolerance and mechanisms promoting access to unusual sources of nutrient ions. Trophic mutualisms are especially common and diverse with ants playing a dominant role. Specific types of epiphytes are described along with associated water ion balance mechanisms. Research topics that seem most likely to reveal significant information on the vegetative basis of epiphytism are identified. Papers on the vegetative and related aspects ers) accounts for most of the approximately of vascular epiphytism appeared only sporadi­ 30,000 species. The second reason for great va­ cally over much of the period following publi­ riety among vascular epiphytes is the heteroge­ cation ofSchimper's remarkably comprehensive neity of their habitats, particularly humid forests and insightful "Die Epiphytische Vegetation where moisture, irradiance and available nu­ Amerikas" in 1888.

Sterols, flavonoids and phenolic compounds appear to be good markers for this species. Chromatographic and histochemical techniques were used to analyze its secondary metabolites and to localize these molecules in the leaves of H. formicarum and its petiole. With histochemistry, we can locate the phenols in situ by an iron chloride reagent, which gives a black color, especially in fibers, hypodermis and xylem. Flavonoids are detected histochemically using a potassium hydroxide reagent to obtain a yellow coloration under visible light.
