I came home from the Southeast Regional Meeting, USA, in February and started running a fever. Needless to say, being sick for the next couple weeks, I was in no shape to write much of anything. I don’t think even Wonder Woman could have written a message that would make much sense during that time. Then along came Garry to save the day. The Southeast Regional Meeting at Lake Yale, Florida, USA, was a huge success. We all had a great time and are looking forward to next year’s meeting, February 8 – 12, 2017. It is so hard to describe what all goes on at this meeting. There is something happening all the time. One of the most important parts of the meeting is the making of new friends and getting together with the friends you have made in the past. I tell people who have never been, come and see what it is all about and you will want to come again. There is an article with photos in this issue on page 22. Enjoy them and picture yourself there next year. We would love to have you join us. I would like to ask every member to check their information in the new 2016 Membership Directory. If it is not correct, please let Duane Keck ([email protected]) know. He and Mihaly Czako are compiling a corrections page that will be in a later issue of WoW. The information will also be sent to our Secretary/Treasurer so she can update the IWCS records. This is very important and in most cases, only you can tell us if your information is not correct. Have you checked out the IWCS Facebook page? It is found at https://www.facebook.com/WoodCollectors. There is always something new and different to see: from what is happening in IWCS today, woodworking, to wood technology and much, much more. Take a look and you will be pleasantly surprised. Don’t forget to “Like” us while you are there. I am trying to locate all of the IWCS banners. I know where some of them are but would like to know where they all are. That way, if someone needs to use a banner for a meeting, a tool show or a woodworking/craft show, we can get one to them. If you are in possession of an IWCS banner (3’ X 4’, ~ 90 cm x 120 cm), please contact me at [email protected] or call my phone number that is in the directory. Thanks for your help. Kris Troyer our Secretary/Treasurer is stepping down effective June 1, 2016. She has done an outstanding job for IWCS these last four years. I have worked closely with Kris and know of the long hours she has devoted to our organization. I want to wish Kris happy days ahead and all the down time she so deserves. Thank you Kris for all you have done. Welcome to Patti Dickherber, our new IWCS Secretary/Treasurer beginning June 1, 2016. At the Southeast Regional Woodfest last February, 2016, Patti was elected during the business meeting. IWCS is fortunate to have her and I am looking forward to working with Patti in the future. There is a photo and a short bio of Patti in this issue. A note to contributors Please submit articles as you complete them. I can then place them into future editions so each edition will present a balance of topics. Last minute changes before June 25 for the July/August 2016 issue. May/June 2016 World of Wood 3 Pink Flame Wood by Vince Manna #4713 Sometime ago, I was on an assignment of several expeditions into many remote areas of the Peruvian rainforest to photograph pygmy marmosets, tamarins, jaguars and the rarely seen indigenous tribes deep in the interior of Manú National Park in the south of Peru. The expedition was made so much more rewarding by having seen a group of rare species such as Goeldi’s monkey (Callimico goeldii) within the Manú Biosphere Reserve. Via various means of transport I traveled on to Santa Rosa, a distant town on an island in Amazonian Peru near the triple shared border (Tres Fronteras) with Brazil (Tabatinga township) and Colombia (Leticia township). There I put together another small team. As we were returning to the jungle capital, the city of Iquitos late one evening upstream along the Amazon River (Rio Amazonas) the real adventure was about to begin.

  • The Genus Axinandra—Melastomataceae : a Missing Link in Myrtales ?*
    CEYIONJ. SCI. (Bio. Sci.) Vol. 10, No. 1, April 1972 The Genus Axinandra—Melastomataceae : A Missing Link in Myrtales ?* by WIIXEM MEIJER Department oj Botany, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, 40506, U.S.A. (With two plates) The flora of Ceylon contains a number of genera and species which are of great impor­ tance for the study of the evolution of the families of Angiosperms. Orie example of this is the genus Axinandra Thwaites with A. zeylanica Thwaites in Hooker, Kew Journal 6: 67, 1854 as type species. Other species are known from Malaya and Borneo (see Bakhuizen van den Brink 1946). They are part of the wet lowland rain forests. Close study of this genus in Borneo and in the wet zone of Ceylon has given me the impression that Axinandra could be a very old genus wh;ch stands somewhere near the roots of the families Lythraceae, Myrtaceae, Melastomatacacac and Rhizophoraceae. The flowers are 5-merous with 10 (12) stamens. The petals drop off in a cap while the flowers open. This character occurs in Eugenia in Myrtaceae. The pollen sacs of the anther join or almost join at the apex of the stamen. The fruits are capsules opening with 5 valves; in each locule there are one or two seeds with wings. The calyx tube is no part of the opening fruit. Similar fruits occur in the Indo-Malesian genus Lagerstrocmia (Lythraceae), in genera of the subfamily Leptosper- moideae of Myrtaceae (see Leptospermum, Tristauia and Metrosideros), and in Macarisia (Rhizo­ phoraceae)—a genus known from Madagascar. If we look for possible links between Rosales and Myrtales among primitive Myrtales then we might also pay attention to the Indo-Malesian genus Crypteronia which has also capsular fruits and winged seeds and similar anthers; however, only 5 stamens and flowers without petals.

  • Phylogeny and Classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae
    Nord. J. Bot. - Section of tropical taxonomy Phylogeny and classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecy laceae Susanne S. Renner Renner, S. S. 1993. Phylogeny and classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecy- laceae. - Nord. J. Bot. 13: 519-540. Copenhagen. ISSN 0107-055X. A systematic analysis of the Melastomataceae, a pantropical family of about 4200- 4500 species in c. 166 genera, and their traditional allies, the Memecylaceae, with c. 430 species in six genera, suggests a phylogeny in which there are two major lineages in the Melastomataceae and a clearly distinct Memecylaceae. Melastomataceae have close affinities with Crypteroniaceae and Lythraceae, while Memecylaceae seem closer to Myrtaceae, all of which were considered as possible outgroups, but sister group relationships in this plexus could not be resolved. Based on an analysis of all morph- ological and anatomical characters useful for higher level grouping in the Melastoma- taceae and Memecylaceae a cladistic analysis of the evolutionary relationships of the tribes of the Melastomataceae was performed, employing part of the ingroup as outgroup. Using 7 of the 21 characters scored for all genera, the maximum parsimony program PAUP in an exhaustive search found four 8-step trees with a consistency index of 0.86. Because of the limited number of characters used and the uncertain monophyly of some of the tribes, however, all presented phylogenetic hypotheses are weak. A synapomorphy of the Memecylaceae is the presence of a dorsal terpenoid-producing connective gland, a synapomorphy of the Melastomataceae is the perfectly acrodro- mous leaf venation. Within the Melastomataceae, a basal monophyletic group consists of the Kibessioideae (Prernandra) characterized by fiber tracheids, radially and axially included phloem, and median-parietal placentation (placentas along the mid-veins of the locule walls).

  • Stand Structure and the Genetic Diversity of Koompassia
    Sains Malaysiana 36(2)(2007): 233-242 Stand Structure and the Genetic Diversity of Koompassia malaccensis and Dryobalanops aromatica in Unlogged and Logged-over Stands (Struktur Dirian dan Kepelbagaian Genetik Koompassia Malaccensis dan Dryobalanops Aromatica pada Dirian yang Belum dan yang telah Dibalak) KIM SU LEE, RATNAM WICKNESWARI & CHEE YEN CHOONG ABSTRACT The disturbance level of two nearby logged stands, Compartment 118 and Compartment 69 were studied in Ulu Sedili Forest Reserve, Johor. The mean basal area for trees (trees ! 1 cm dbh) in logged stand of Compartment 118 showed 51% reduction in comparison to immediately before logging of the same stand. A similar level of reduction (47%) was observed for mean density of trees in Compartment 118. However, the mean basal area and mean density of tree were higher in 50-year logged Compartment 69 (21% and 122% respectively) compared to Compartment 118 before logging. Concurrently, we examined the effects of logging on genetic diversity of seedling, sapling and mature trees of two important timber species, Koompassia malaccensis and Dryobalanops aromatica using M13 universal primer (multilocus minisatellite DNA) and three other universally-primed primers. Mature trees of K. malaccensis showed 39% reduction in Shannon diversity index (H) in Compartment 69 compared to Compartment 118 before logging detected by M13 universal primer. This may be attributed to the small sample size of the species in Compartment 69. Reduction in H and polymorphic loci (P) for K. malaccensis was higher in seedlings, 5% and 56% respectively in Compartment 69 compared to mature trees (3% and 23% respectively). Contrastingly for seedlings and saplings of D.

    Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas - Based on the outcomes of experimental reforestation activities at ex-coal-mining areas in South Kalimantan, Indonesia - Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center (JIFPRO) March 2015 Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas - Based on the outcomes of experimental reforestation activities at ex-coal-mining areas in South Kalimantan, Indonesia - Eiichiro Nakama, Seiichi Ohta, Yasuo Ohsumi, Tokunori Mori and Satohiko Sasaki Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center Fakhrur Razie, Hamdani Fauzi and Mahrus Aryadi Lambung Mangkurat University, Indonesia Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center March 2015 Foreword During the past decades, deforestation and forest degradation continues especially in developing countries. According to the report of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation (FAO), approximately 13 million hectors of global forests have been lost annually due to forest land conversion to other land uses, forest fires and natural disasters, while reforestation and natural regeneration account for an increase of approx. 7.8 million hectors of forest cover. This means the net loss of global forest is estimated at 5.2 million hectors. Adverse impacts of forest conversion to farmland can be minimized as far as the land is properly used and managed in a sustainable manner. However, in some cases, problem soils are exposed and abandoned as degraded land. Deforestation by mining is a big issue these years. Problem soils such as strong acid soils and/or too much heavy metal soils appear at the ex-mining areas. In some cases it is too difficult to reforestate.

Latifah D, Wardani FF, Zulkarnaen RN. 2020. Seed germination, seedling survival and storage behavior of Koompassia excelsa (Leguminosae). Nusantara Bioscience 12: 46-49. Koompassia excelsa (Becc.) Taub. (Leguminosae) is an important component of many tropical rainforests as an emergent canopy tree. Knowledge and application of germination strategies and increasing seedling survival of this species in many conservation efforts are essential as it is endemic to several areas in Southeast Asia. This research investigated the effects of the different moisture levels of the sowing media on the germination and seedling survival percentage of K. excelsa. The seeds exhibited faster germination percentage and higher seedling survival when sown in media with 33.2%-moisture. The seeds appeared to have intermediate storage behavior. Thus, sowing seeds in 33.2%-moisture media may promote seedling survival, which is an important part of regeneration as well as conservation of K. excelsa. Keywords: Germination, Koompassia excelsa, media, seedling, storage INTRODUCTION orthodox (Sasaki 1976, Sasaki 1980), K. excelsa seeds have been cryopreserved successfully for long-term storage Koompassia excelsa is distributed across Southeast (Azman 2015) indicating the seed storage behavior was Asia, including Indonesia (Sumatera and Borneo Islands), intermediate.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

  • Regional Ecosystem Technical Descriptions for Einasleigh Uplands
    Department of Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts Regional Ecosystem Technical Descriptions Technical descriptions provide a detailed description of the full range in structure and floristic composition of regional ecosystems (e.g. 9.10.3) and their component vegetation communities (e.g. 9.10.3a, 9.10.3b). The descriptions are compiled using site survey data from the Queensland Herbarium’s CORVEG database. Distribution maps, representative images (if available) and the pre-clearing and remnant area (hectares) of each vegetation community derived from the regional ecosystem mapping (spatial) data are included. The technical descriptions should be used in conjunction with the fields from the regional ecosystem description database (REDD) for a full description of the regional ecosystem. Quantitative site data from relatively undisturbed sites are extracted from CORVEG and summarized to provide information specific to each vegetation community. Technical descriptions include the attributes: tree canopy height and cover and native plant species composition of the predominant layer, which are used to assess the remnant status of vegetation under the Vegetation Management Act 1999. However, as technical descriptions reflect the full range in structure and floristic composition across the climatic, natural disturbance and geographic range of the regional ecosystem, local reference sites should be used where possible (Neldner et al. 2012 section 3.3.1). The technical descriptions are subject to review and are updated as additional
