The present study was aimed at observing the types of bamboo growing in the forest and identifying the villagers’ strategies in sustaining natural resource. The study was conducted from September to November 2018. The data of types of bamboo was collected through a field observation, whilst the data on villagers’ strategies was gathered using an interview technique to the 30 respondents. A snowball sampling method was used for respondent selection. The result showed that there were about seven species of bamboo distributed across the forest that have been utilized by Kalaodi villagers, who have a direct access to the forest, as a raw material for making household furniture. Kalaodi villagers have their own traditional way to preserve bamboo trees from extinction. Also, the forest area has been divided into two categories of land use: the privately owned land and the protected forest. The villagers develop strategies to sustain bamboo vegetation by cultivating the plant in both the forest and their owned land; complying with the restriction of over- exploitation and destruction; utilizing bamboo for household needs, and passing the local wisdom to young generation. Keywords: Types of bamboo, types of bamboo utilization, Kalaodi local wisdom. Abstrak Hutan lindung Tagafura yang terletak di Pulau Tidore memiliki keanekragaman hasil hutan bukan kayu termasuk bambu. Terdapat sekitar tujuh spesis bambu yang tersebar di hutan tersebut. Masyarakat desa Kalaodi yang menghuni hutan Tagafura telah memanfaatkan bambu untuk memenuhi keperluan hidup mereka. Mereka memiliki cara tradisional untuk melestarikan tanaman bambu agar tidak punah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginventarisasi jenis-jenis bambu yang ada di hutan tersebut dan mengidentifikasi strategi masyarakat dalam melestarikan tanaman bambu. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada Bulan September-November 2018. Data jenis bambu dikumpulkan dengan melakukan obervasi lapangan, dan data tentang strategi masyarakat dikumpukan melalui wawancara terhadap 30 responden. Pemilihan responden dilakukan menggunakan metode sampling bola salju. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wilayah hutan Tagafura telah dibagi dalam dua kategori yaitu lahan milik pribadi dan wilayah hutan lindung.

REMESH Botany Division, Kerala Forest Research Institute, Peechi 680-653, Trichur, Kerala, India SUMMARY Two new species of Schizostachyum Nees: S. andamanicum and S. kalpongianum, are described and illustrated. Key words: Schizostachyum, Andaman Islands, India. INTRODUCTION During the revisionary studies on Indian bamboos the authors could undertake a survey in the Andaman Islands. Five species of bamboos, namely Bambusa atra, Dinochloa an- damanica, Gigantochloa andamanica, Bambusa schizostachyoides, and Schizostachyum rogersii have so far been reported from the Andaman Islands (Munro, 1868; Gamble, 1896; Brandis, 1906; Parkinson, 1921). As a result of exploring different parts of the is lands two interesting bamboos were collected. Critical examination revealed that they belonged to the genus Schizostachyum Nees and hitherto undescribed. The genus Schizostachyum was described by Nees in 1829 based on Schizostachyum blumei. This genus is represented by about 45–50 species distributed in tropical and sub- tropical Asia from southern China throughout the Malaysian region, extending to the Pacific islands with the majority of species in Malaysia (Dransfield, 1983, 2000; Ohrnberger, 1999; Wong, 1995). The genus is characterised by sympodial rhizomes; erect or straggling thin-walled culms; many branches of the same length arising from the node; indeterminate inflores­ cence; absence of glumes in the spikelets; presence of lodicules; slender ovary with long, glabrous stiff style which is hollow around a central strand of tissue; anthers usu- ally with blunt apex. The bamboos collected from the Andaman Islands have straggling culms and are similar to Schizostachyum gracile (Munro) Holttum in certain characters but differ in several other characters.

However, due to the declination of timber production, increasing human population and their ever increasing demand, natural bamboo stands will not be able to cope with the growing demand in the future. Supply of bamboo may be increased through large-scale commercial or industrial plantations to fulfil the gap between demand and supply. However, the main problem for commercial plantation of bamboo species in Malaysia is the inadequate supply of quality planting materials since most of the commercially important bamboo species do not produce or produce few seeds after long intervals. The current study was therefore, designed to investigate the mass propagation potential of D. asper through branch cutting using an easy, inexpensive and efficient method. Primary or secondary branches consisting of three to four nodes along with the swollen base were planted into plastic buckets filled with coarse sand in partial shade under nursery condition.

The oils were obtained from bamboo culm through steam distillation and profiled using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS). A total of 59 volatile constituents were identified, and these contained oxygenated sesquiterpene, α-elemol (8.2~21.1 %), coumaran (6.7~32.3 %), guaiacol-4-vinyl (0.6~0.9 %), palmitic acid (1.5~25.6 %), pentacosane (0.1~0.2 %), phytol (1.0~12.6 %), phytol acetate (0.5~1.7 %) and trans-squalene (0.2~1.6 %) consistently in the specimens studied. Based on the observation, S. pilosum exhibited wider diameter of inhibition against Escherchia coli and Staphylococcus aureus compared to the other species of Schizostachyum essential oil. Keywords: Wild bamboo, Volatile fingerprints, Antibacterial Activity. Introduction The medicinal applications of bamboo in the traditional medicine system were first mentioned around 500 AD.
