A Conspectus of the Families and Genera of the Vascular Plant Flora of Malaya A conspectus of the families and genera of the vascular plant flora of Malaya The genera recorded as nalive or naturalized in Malaya arc listed in alphabetical order under the appropiate family. Family delimitation Sollows Brummitt (1992). Italicized names represent those genera represented solely by naturalized species. The number in parenthcscs after each generic name represents lhe numbers of species of that genus in the Malayan Slora. The number of senera, and the nunlher of species. ~.cspectively.in each family arc given in square brackets alter each family name. Fern Allics 1. EQUISETACEAE 11, 1) 1.I Eqniwtnn~L. ( I ) 2.

  • Boigu Islands, Form the Northern Island Group of Torres Strait, Located Approximately 150 Km North of Thursday Island (See Figure 1)
    PROFILE FOR MANAGEMENT OF THE HABITATS AND RELATED ECOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCE VALUES OF DAUAN ISLAND January 2013 Prepared by 3D Environmental for Torres Strait Regional Authority Land & Sea Management Unit Cover image: 3D Environmental (2013) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The granite rock pile that forms Dauan, along with nearby Saibai and Boigu Islands, form the Northern Island Group of Torres Strait, located approximately 150 km north of Thursday Island (see Figure 1). Whilst Saibai and Boigu Island are extensions of the alluvial Fly Platform, geologically part of the Papua New Guinea mainland, Dauan is formed on continental basement rock which extends northward from Cape York Peninsula to Mabadauan Hill on the south-west coast of Papua New Guinea. A total of 14 vegetation communities, within ten broad vegetation groups and 14 regional ecosystems are recognised on the island. The total known flora of comprises 402 species (14 ferns, 388 angiosperms), with 317 native and 85 naturalised species. Nine plant species are considered threatened at the commonwealth and state levels and a further 25 species considered to have significance at a regional level. As for the majority of Torres Strait Islands there is a lack of systematic survey of fauna habitats on the island. A desktop review identified 135 fauna species that are reported to occur on Dauan. This can be compared with the 384 terrestrial fauna species that have been reported for the broader Torres Strait Island group. The Dauan fauna comprises 20 reptiles, 100 birds, 3 frogs and 12 mammals. Of these, one reptile, one bird and four mammal species are introduced.

  • Chilocarpus Rostratus (Apocynaceae: Rauvolfioideae), a New Record for Thailand
    THAI FOR. BULL. (BOT.) 35: 86–88. 2007. Chilocarpus rostratus (Apocynaceae: Rauvolfioideae), a new record for Thailand DAVID J. MIDDLETON* ABSTRACT. Chilocarpus rostratus Markgr. is newly recorded for Thailand. A key to the three species of Chilocarpus in Thailand is provided. INTRODUCTION The account of the Apocynaceae for the Flora of Thailand has already been published (Middleton, 1999). Since then four new species have been described (Middleton, 2001, 2004; Middleton & Santisuk, 2001; Middleton et al., 2006) and one other species not previously known to occur in Thailand has been found (Middleton, 2002). In addition to these wild species Wrightia antidysenterica, native to Sri Lanka, has become very widely cultivated in Thailand since 1999. A recent specimen from Hala-Bala Wildlife Sanctuary has been identified as Chilocarpus rostratus Markgr. bringing the total number of species in the genus in Thailand to three. The other species are Chilocarpus denudatus Blume and C. costatus Miq. Initially the new plant was identified as Chilocarpus tuberculatus Markgr. but as part of a revision of the genus for Flora Malesiana this species has now been synonymised into C. rostratus, previously thought to be endemic to Borneo. KEY TO THE CHILOCARPUS SPECIES IN THAILAND 1. Leaf veins prominent beneath, distinct from the weaker parallel veins; corolla tube 6–21.5 mm long C. costatus 1. Leaf veins not prominent beneath, not particularly distinct from the parallel veins; corolla tube 2.5– 6.8 mm long 2. Leaves elliptic; pedicels > 1 mm long; corolla tube 2.5–4 mm long C. denudatus 2. Leaves obovate or spathulate, more rarely elliptic; pedicels up to 1 mm long; corolla tube 4.5–6.8 mm long C.

All vascular plants were enumerated and identified. Importance value index (IVI) was computed to characterize the floristic composition. To capture different aspects of species diversity, we considered five different indices. The mean stem density was 7585 stems per ha. In total 36797 vascular plants representing 348 species belong to 227 genera in 89 families were identified within 5-ha of a coastal hill forest that is comprises 4.2% species, 10.7% genera and 34.7% families of the total taxa found in Peninsular Malaysia. Based on IVI, Agrostistachys longifolia (IVI 1245), Eugeissona tristis (IVI 890), Calophyllum wallichianum (IVI 807), followed by Taenitis blechnoides (IVI 784) were the most dominant species. The most speciose rich families were Rubiaceae having 27 species, followed by Dipterocarpaceae (21 species), Euphorbiaceae (20 species) and Palmae (14 species). According to growth forms, 57% of all species were trees, 13% shrubs, 10% herbs, 9% lianas, 4% palms, 3.5% climbers and 3% ferns.

  • INTRODUCTION Floodplains Are Flat Lands Adjacent to Streams Or Rivers, Subjected to Periodic Flooding
    THAI FOR. BULL. (BOT.) 39: 120–139. 2011. The floodplain vegetation of the Trang River basin, peninsular Thailand: the threatened remnants of the freshwater swamp vegetation PONLAWAT PATTARAKULPISUTTI* & KITICHATE SRIDITH* ABSTRACT. The study of the scattered remnants of the floodplain vegetation in the Trang River basin, peninsular Thailand was carried out from November 2008 to January 2010. One hundred and sixty species of vascular plants were recorded. The five most common families were Cyperaceae (22 species), Poaceae (12 species), Rubiaceae (10 species), Fabaceae and Phyllanthaceae (9 species each). Based on floristic compositions, nine association types were described. The spatial variation and differences in habitat distribution among these associations are explained by differences in successional stages due to the history of land uses and water regime. Moreover, the expected vegetation of the floodplain areas, reconstructed from the existing remnants left as isolated fragmentations, was proposed. KEY WORDS: Floodplain vegetation, peninsular Thailand. INTRODUCTION In spite of its biological importance there is scarce information on the plant species composition Floodplains are flat lands adjacent to streams of the floodplain areas in peninsular Thailand. or rivers, subjected to periodic flooding (Finlayson Besides, the floodplain vegetation in peninsular & Moser, 1991). Due to this periodic flooding, Thailand is among the most threatened habitats as plant species inhabiting these environments need it is subjected to human disturbances such as irrigation to have special modifications which enable either projects, agriculture, tourism, etc. Therefore, this tolerance of these changes, through physiology or study is aimed at giving an account of the floristic morphology, and/or avoidance through life history composition of plant communities in the floodplain traits (Capon, 2005).
