  • 4. the Plant Diversity of Singapore
    FLORA OF SINGAPORE (Vol. 1: 37–46, 2019) 4. THE PLANT DIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE K.M. Wong & S.K. Ganesan The position of Singapore on the Sunda continental shelf is a special one, with the principal island originally about 540 km2 in extent, together with some 60 smaller islands at the southern exit to the Malacca Strait and near the confluence of the South China Sea and Karimata Strait just west of Borneo. Geographically at the equatorial extremity of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore is separated from the Riau islands to its south (principally the Karimun Islands, Batam and Bintan) by the Singapore Strait which includes the deeply scoured 204-m ‘Singapore Deeps’, a likely subsidence basin resulting from tectonic movements (Bird et al., 2006). While this Strait may seem able to restrict the dispersal of some organisms with interglacial and post- Pleistocene high sea levels, it probably was not an effective dispersal barrier during episodes of lowest sea levels, such as during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at 18 ka. Then, it must have been in the path of a key land bridge between mainland Southeast Asia farther north and likewise exposed links to Java and other areas to the south (Ho, 1960; Morley & Flenley, 1987; Heaney, 1991; Voris, 2000; Bird et al., 2005). By contrast, the Johor Strait that separates Singapore from south Peninsular Malaysia is just about 10 m deep and 600 m wide at its narrowest. The Sundaland region on the Sunda continental shelf has seen climate shifts since even before the Pleistocene, sometimes associated with tectonic events.

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.

  • Synopsis of a New Taxonomic Synthesis Of
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 8 October 2018 doi:10.20944/preprints201808.0496.v2 Hershkovitz Montiaceae Synopsis of a new taxonomic synthesis of Montiaceae (Portulacineae) based on rational metadata analysis, with critical new insights on historically poorly understood taxa and a review of ecological evolution and phylogeography Mark Alan HERSHKOVITZ1 1Santiago, Chile [email protected] Abstract: Montiaceae (Portulacineae) comprise a clade of at least 280 species and ca. 30 subspecific taxa primarily of western America and Australia. This work uses existing phylogenetic metadata to elaborate a new cladistic taxonomic synthesis, and clarifies morphological circumscriptions of several poorly known species. A total of 20 taxa are validated, seven new and 13 necessary nomenclatural recombinations. Hypotheses of Montiaceae historical biogeography and phenotypic evolution are evaluated in light of recent metadata. Key words: Montiaceae, taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology, phylogeography, evolution. 1. Introduction This work presents a new cladistic taxonomy of Montiaceae (Portulacineae) and several of its included taxa, along with notes on the diagnostics of certainly poorly known species and a summary of new interpretations of phylogeography and phenotypic and ecological evolution. The present work includes 20 nomenclatural novelties. However, the whole of the novelty is greater than the sum of these parts. The generic circumscriptions and diversity estimates are modified from Hernández-Ledesma et al. (2015).The suprageneric taxonomy is the first proposed since McNeill (1974) and the only phylogenetic one. Critical reevaluation of certain common and usually misidentified Chilean taxa is the first since Reiche (1898). Existing metadata are interpreted as evidence for a hybrid origin of a genus.

  • Cactus Gems from the High Andes
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 3 April 2009 Cactus Gems from the High Andes Cacti tend to delight people because of their weird shapes, unusual spine patterns, and colorful fl owers. But for those of us who live in cold climates, our options for growing them are limited: relatively few survive outdoors during our winters; most of us don’t have greenhouses that provide the intense light that many cacti require; and many cacti are just too big to live in windowsills. But there are sev- eral groups of cacti that remain small and live in habitats where they are adapted to lighting conditions that are less intense than those found in the Tucson desert. One such group consists of the rebutias, charming little plants that produce bunches of bright fl owers in spring. These cactus gems are at home in the high Andes of Bo- livia and Argentina. They are small plants, ideally suited for small spaces. Many have interesting spines and once a year they produce a profusion of fl owers that come in a Rebutia cacti produce bright fl owers in spring. rainbow of colors; several have bicolor fl owers.

Rebutias are small plants, the individual stems are some variation of the ball shape, from slightly fl at- tened to slightly elongated.
