Yet, despite being the most explored island in Malesia, there is always something new comes out from this island and this is apparently true in the case of Pandanaceae. The Pandans of Java have long been regarded as well documented in as testified by the works of Backer (1925) and Backer and Bakhuizen van den Brink (1968), particularly in the latter works known as the four great volumes of Flora of Java. Thus, a new species of Pandanaceae (especially arboreal taxon from the genus Pandanus) from Java after the publication of the above-mentioned volumes can be regarded as a great discovery. The recent discovery of Pandanus basilocularis in the Ujung Kulon National Park, Banten, which was previously endemic to Borneo, supports the remarkable fact indicating that how fairly little is still known about the Pandan flora of this amazing island. In collaboration with a group of scientist from Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Forest Research and Development Center, Ministry of Environment and Forestry presents this humble but amazing book itself is a publication that aimed to present up to date information concerning the diversity and the ethnobotany of the Pandan flora of Java. Such a study is hoped to be able to resolve several unsettled problems, including the true identity of the enigmatic “cangkuang” (Pandanus furcatus) and the troublesome P. tectorius which are of importance in the Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese cultures. This book is a sequel of the previous work published as a synopsis titled “Pandanaceae of Flora Malesiana in the past eight years [2005- 2013]: A State of the Art” presented in the last 9th Flora Malesiana PANDANS OF JAVA SYSTEMATICS AND ETHNOBOTANY OF THE FORGOTTEN SACRED PLANTS OF JAVA Symposium 2013 held in Bogor. It is also the first product of the proposed series of works leading to the completion of Pandanaceae account for the Flora Malesiana. Bogor, November 2020 Dr. Kirsfianti L. Ginoga Director of Forest Research and Development Center Ministry of Environment and Forestry xii PREFACE Twenty species of Pandanaceae are currently recorded in Java: Six species of Freycinetia, one species of Benstonea, and 13 species of Pandanus, in which one is a new record for Java, Pandanus basilocularis. Pandanus oviger is recollected and extends its distribution further to the west from its type locality. New record and extension of distribution area are also recorded for P. scabrifolius. The placement of P. odoratissimus as a synonymy of P. tectorius is supported by this current study. Also, Pandanus furcatus as a wide spread species from Java to India and with a wide spectrum of morphological variations are supported in this current study. The authors would like to express their gratitudes to the directors and curators of the following herbaria: BO, L, and K for the access to their amazing collections. Deep appreciations go to Dr. Martin Callmander and Dr. Jan Frits Veldkamp for providing valuable suggestions, fruitful discussions, and important information on Pandanus basilocularis and P. dubius. Our appreciations go also to Dr. Rugayah, Dr. Ruliyana Susanti, Suhardjono Prawiroatmodjo, Siti Susiarti, Tutie Djarwaningsih, and Professor Yohanes Purwanto for allowing us to use their beautiful photos. We are also grateful to Professor Elizabeth A. Widjaja for giving a good opportunity to one of us (SER) to take part in the fieldwork in the Mount Simpang, Ciwidey and the Ujung Kulon National Park and for lending us the most recent materials of Freycinetia from Cianjur, West Java. Last but not least, we tender a deep appreciation to IPB Press for its enthusiasms that lead to the willingness to publish this humble book. Bogor, November 2020 Authors INTRODUCTION Despite being botanically the most explored island within Malesia, Java still reveals new fascinating discoveries, including its Pandan flora. Prior to the present study the comprehensive account on the Pandan Flora of Java was made by Backer and Bakhuizen van den Brink Jr. (1968) and later reviewed by Stone (1972).

  • The Fossil Pollen Record of the Pandanaceae
    The Fossil Pollen Record of the Pandanaceae DAVID M. JARZEN Paleobiology Division National Museum of Natural Sciences National Museums of Canada Ottawa, Canada Abstract The fossil record of pollen comparable to the family Pandanaceae and sometimes directly comparable with the extant genus Pandanus extends back to the latest Upper Cretaceous. The family which once had a wide geographic distribution on all continents except Australia, has, since the mid-Tertiary, become restricted to the Old World tropics and subtropics. Introduction The monocotyledon genus Pandanus Rumph. ex L. comprises about 600 species of trees, shrubs and less frequently subshrubs. Several, such as P. epiphyticus Martelli and P. altico/a Holt. and St. John from Malaya and Borneo are truly epiphytic though facultatively so, also occurring on boulders of limestone or sand­ stone (Stone, 1978). The tree habit is the most common, and such pandans form a conspicuous part of the vegetation of many tropical shorelines. The pandans (or screw-pines) are distributed throughout the palaeotropics, with species occurring on nearly all tropical and marginally subtropical islands of the Pacific, the northern tropical regions of Australia, tropical Southeast Asia, Indonesia, the Philippines, southern India and islands of the Indian Ocean, the Malagasy Republic and East and West Africa (Stone, 1976). The genus does not occur naturally in the neotropics. Map 1 illustrates the overall distribution of the genus, as well as the known fossil pollen reports of Pandanaceae. The pandans are dioecious, with the staminate plants, particularly of the forest species, being less frequently collected than the pistillate plants, due to the brief, ephemeral staminate anthesis.

  • The New Zealand Rain Forest: a Comparison with Tropical Rain Forest! J
    The New Zealand Rain Forest: A Comparison with Tropical Rain Forest! J. W. DAWSON2 and B. V. SNEDDON2 ABSTRACT: The structure of and growth forms and habits exhibited by the New Zealand rain forest are described and compared with those of lowland tropical rain forest. Theories relating to the frequent regeneration failure of the forest dominants are outlined. The floristic affinities of the forest type are discussed and it is suggested that two main elements can be recognized-lowland tropical and montane tropical. It is concluded that the New Zealand rain forest is comparable to lowland tropical rain forest in structure and in range of special growth forms and habits. It chiefly differs in its lower stature, fewer species, and smaller leaves. The floristic similarity between the present forest and forest floras of the Tertiary in New Zealand suggest that the former may be a floristically reduced derivative of the latter. PART 1 OF THIS PAPER describes the structure The approximate number of species of seed and growth forms of the New Zealand rain plants in these forests is 240. From north to forest as exemplified by a forest in the far north. south there is an overall decrease in number of In Part 2, theories relating to the regeneration species. At about 38°S a number of species, of the dominant trees in the New Zealand rain mostly trees and shrubs, drop out or become forest generally are reviewed briefly, and their restricted to coastal sites, but it is not until about relevance to the situation in the study forest is 42°S, in the South Island, that many of the con­ considered.

Raya Jakarta-Bogor Km 46, Cibinong, Bogor 16911, Indonesia; and Botany Department, Field Museum, Chicago, Illionis, U.S.A. ABSTRACT. Current taxonomic problems in Pandanus in Java include the interpretation of the Pandanus furcatus complex as well as the P. tectorius complex. A study of general morphological, stomatal and molecular characteristics (viz., the noncoding chloroplast intergenic spacer region atpB-rbcL) showed that P. bantamensis Koord., P. pseudolais Warb., and P. scabrifolius Martelli, previously considered synonyms of P. furcatus, and P. tectorius var. littoralis Martelli and P. odoratissimus L.f. are all distinct species. Keywords. Anatomy, atpB-rbcL, Java, morphology, Pandanus furcatus complex, Pandanus tectorius complex Introduction The term species complex was used to describe a species aggregation sharing specific morphological and molecular features (Judd et al. 1999). Within such a complex, a complicated morphological overlap, without any discontinuities, has led to taxonomic difficulty (Pak and Kawano 1992). Although their taxonomic affinity may be difficult to determine, some form of taxonomic resolution is desirable. According to Stone (1972), Pandanus Parkinson in Java contains many rather problematic species. He suggested that detailed studies were required to obtain a more refined taxonomic scheme.

  • Spiders of the Hawaiian Islands: Catalog and Bibliography1
    Pacific Insects 6 (4) : 665-687 December 30, 1964 SPIDERS OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS: CATALOG AND BIBLIOGRAPHY1 By Theodore W. Suman BISHOP MUSEUM, HONOLULU, HAWAII Abstract: This paper contains a systematic list of species, and the literature references, of the spiders occurring in the Hawaiian Islands. The species total 149 of which 17 are record­ ed here for the first time. This paper lists the records and literature of the spiders in the Hawaiian Islands. The islands included are Kure, Midway, Laysan, French Frigate Shoal, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and Hawaii. The only major work dealing with the spiders in the Hawaiian Is. was published 60 years ago in " Fauna Hawaiiensis " by Simon (1900 & 1904). All of the endemic spiders known today, except Pseudanapis aloha Forster, are described in that work which also in­ cludes a listing of several introduced species. The spider collection available to Simon re­ presented only a small part of the entire Hawaiian fauna. In all probability, the endemic species are only partly known. Since the appearance of Simon's work, there have been many new records and lists of introduced spiders. The known Hawaiian spider fauna now totals 149 species and 4 subspecies belonging to 21 families and 66 genera. Of this total, 82 species (5596) are believed to be endemic and belong to 10 families and 27 genera including 7 endemic genera. The introduced spe­ cies total 65 (44^). Two unidentified species placed in indigenous genera comprise the remaining \%. Seventeen species are recorded here for the first time. In the catalog section of this paper, families, genera and species are listed alphabetical­ ly for convenience.

  • Detailed Final Report
    An urgent conservation call from endemic plants of Mount Salak, West Java, Indonesia I Robiansyah* and S U Rakhmawati Research Center for Plant Conservation and Botanic Gardens - LIPI. Jl.Ir.H. Juanda 13 Bogor 16003, West Java, Indonesia *[email protected] Abstract. Mount Salak is part of Mount Halimun-Salak National Park in West Java, Indonesia. It is home to five endemic plant species that are very susceptible to human interference due to their close proximity to human settlements. The deforestation rate of the area was 1,473 ha or 1.3% of the total area each year. Using eleven line transects with a total length of 44.76 km, the present study aims at providing data on current population and conservation status of these five endemic plant species. The results showed that there was an urgent conservation call from Mount Salak as all five targeted species were unable to be located. Furthermore, two invasive species that might possess serious threat to the endemic plants were observed during the survey: markisa (Passiflora sp.; Passifloraceae) and harendong bulu (Clidemia hirta; Melastomataceae). Based on these results, the present study assigned all the endemic species as Critically Endangered according to the IUCN Red List Category and Criteria. To conserve all the endemic plant species in Mount Salak, several recommendations were given and discussed. 1. Introduction Plants are fundamental part of terrestrial ecosystem and provide support systems for life on earth. For human, plants provide many essential services that underpin human survival and well-being, such as source of food, clothes, timber, medicines, fresh air, clean water, and much more.

Juvenile height growth of l9 species (277 individuais in total) was measured annually fi'om 1977 to 1982 in a forest, 5-6 m high, dominated by Distylium lepidotttm, at Chichljima. Juveniles ofmain canopy trees showed the rate o{' height growth, not more than 2 cmfyear, which was lower than that of the shrub and the second-layer species. The death of terminal shoots and the occurrence of new leaders were frequently observed in a}most all species. The sharp decrease in the annual height growth and the increase in the death rate occurred in 198e or l981 in many species in parallel, which was attributed to the unusual drought in the sumrner of l980. An introduced pieneer species, Pintts ltttchnensis, has been invading the forest which is thought to be in the stable climax stage of succession. The height growth rate of the pine juveniles, l9.9 cmlyear, was much higher than any other native component species.
