Biodiversitas 19: 140-152. Bogor Botanic Gardens is an ex-situ conservation centre, covering an area of 87 ha, with 12,376 plant specimens, collected from Indonesia and other tropical countries throughout the world. One of the richest collections in the Gardens comprises members of the aroid family (Araceae). The aroids are planted in several garden beds as well as in the nursery. They have been collected from the time of the Dutch era until now. These collections were obtained from botanical explorations throughout the forests of Indonesia and through seed exchange with botanic gardens around the world. Several of the Bogor aroid collections represent ‘living types’, such as Scindapsus splendidus Alderw., Scindapsus mamilliferus Alderw. and Epipremnum falcifolium Engl. These have survived in the garden from the time of their collection up until the present day. There are many aroid collections in the Gardens that have potentialities not widely recognised. The aim of this study is to reveal the diversity of aroids species in the Bogor Botanic Gardens, their scientific value, their conservation status, and their potential as ornamental plants, medicinal plants and food.

  • Sabah, Malaysia Borneo
    Journal of Tropical Biology and Conservation 16: 119–123, 2019 ISSN 1823-3902 E-ISSN 2550-1909 Short Notes A preliminary survey of Araceae of Batu Timbang, Imbak Canyon Conservation Area (ICCA), Sabah, Malaysia Borneo. Kartini Saibeh*, Saafie Salleh Faculty of Sustainable Agriculture, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Locked Bag No 3, 90509, Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract During a scientific expedition to Batu Timbang, Imbak Canyon Conservation Area (ICCA), Sandakan, Sabah between 17 and 20 August 2017, 14 species in seven genera of Araceae were collected. The genera are Pothos (Pothos [Allopothos] sp.); Rhaphidophora (R. korthalsii, R. sylvestris, R. latevaginata); Scindapusus (S. pictus, S. longistipitatus, S. kinabaluensis, and Scindapsus sp. nov.); Schismatoglottis (S. wongii); Aglaonema sp.; Ooia sp. and Alocasia (A. robusta, A. sarawakensis, and A. wongii). Keywords: Aroids, Imbak Canyon Conservation Area ICCA, Malaysian Borneo. Introduction The Araceae, comprising seven subfamilies, 144 genera and about 4,000 described species, is a subcosmopolitan family in distribution but most abundant and diverse in the ever wet or humid tropics (Boyce & Croat, 2011; Cusimano et al., 2011). The family is defined by having minute sessile flowers on spadix and covered by a spathe. The spadix may bear either unisexual or bisexual flowers. Most of the climbers have bisexual type flowers while others have unisexual flowers. Ecologically, aroids can be found in streams, ponds and canals, terrestrial habitats, tidal mud, swamps and wasteland, forest floor, climbers, epiphytes and rheophytes (Mashhor et al., 2012). The aroids of Borneo currently stand at 575 species, of which 433 are formally described (Wong, 2016).

A taxonomic revision of Araceae tribe Potheae (Pothos, Pothoidium and Pedicellarum) for Malesia, Australia and the tropical Western Pacific. Telopea 9(3): 449–571. A regional revision of the three genera comprising tribe Potheae (Araceae: Pothoideae) is presented, largely as a precursor to the account for Flora Malesiana; 46 species are recognized (Pothos 44, Pothoidium 1, Pedicellarum 1) of which three Pothos (P. laurifolius, P. oliganthus and P. volans) are newly described, one (P. longus) is treated as insufficiently known and two (P. sanderianus, P. nitens) are treated as doubtful. Pothos latifolius L. is excluded from Araceae [= Piper sp.]. The following new synonymies are proposed: Pothos longipedunculatus Ridl. non Engl. = P. brevivaginatus; P. acuminatissimus = P. dolichophyllus; P. borneensis = P. insignis; P. scandens var. javanicus, P. macrophyllus and P. vrieseanus = P. junghuhnii; P. rumphii = P. tener; P. lorispathus = P. leptostachyus; P. kinabaluensis = P. longivaginatus; P. merrillii and P. ovatifolius var. simalurensis = P. ovatifolius; P. sumatranus, P. korthalsianus, P. inaequalis and P. jacobsonii = P. oxyphyllus. Relationships within Pothos and the taxonomic robustness of the satellite genera are discussed. Keys to the genera and species of Potheae and the subgenera and supergroups of Pothos for the region are provided.

  • (Araceae) of Peninsular Malaysia III: Scindapsus Lucens, a New Record for Malaysia, and a Key to Peninsular Malaysian Scindapsus
    Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 62 (1): 9-15. 2010 Studies on Monstereae (Araceae) of Peninsular Malaysia III: Scindapsus lucens, a New Record for Malaysia, and a Key to Peninsular Malaysian Scindapsus AHMAD SOFIMAN BIN OTHMAN, PETER C. BOYCE* AND CHAN LAI KENG Pusat Pengajian Sains Kajihayat [School of Biological Sciences] Universiti Sains Malaysia 11800 USM, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Scindapsus lucens Bogner & P.C.Boyce is a species of considerable horti- cultural potential, arguably rivalling the commercially important S. pictus, originally described from cultivated material of unknown provenance and only later found wild in Sumatera. It has recently been discovered and collected from several localities in southern Peninsular Malaysia, representing both a new record for Malaysia, and through clonal propagation via various tissue culture techniques would supply a sustainable potential source of a local commercial ornamental horticultural product. An enlarged description of S. lucens, and a key to the Peninsular Malaysian Scindapsus are offered. A plate illustrating the diagnostic characters of S. lucens is given. Introduction Scindapsus has not been revised in its entirety since 1908 (Engler & Krause, 1908), and not treated for Malaysia since Ridley’s accounts for the flora (Ridley, 1907, 1925), when he recognized 5 species: Scindapsus beccarii Engl., S. hederaceus Miq., S. perakensis Hook.f., S. pictus Hassk., and S. scortechinii Hook.f. Since Ridley, fieldwork has revealed two further species: S. treubii Engl., a widespread species from Sumatera to Borneo, and S. lucens reported here. Scindapsus lucens Bogner & P.C.Boyce (1994) was described based on material of unknown origin cultivated in the Botanischer Garten München, Germany, with a note added late in proof that it had subsequently been located in KabupatenTapanuli, western Sumatera Utara.

Several new records of plant species previously unknown in Singapore are reported, along with records of species presumed to be nationally extinct which have been rediscovered. These reports are based on specimens collected during our recent surveys of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and previously unreported older specimens, all deposited in SING. Three species are reported as new records for Singapore: Scindapsus lucens Bogner & P.C.Boyce, Passiflora quadriglandulosa Rodschied and Tectaria nayarii Mazumdar. Scindapsus lucens is likely to be native and previously overlooked, whereas Passiflora quadriglandulosa and Tectaria nayarii are exotic species which have escaped from cultivation and become naturalised. Another 10 species are rediscoveries of taxa previously considered to be nationally extinct: Aglaia palembanica Miq., Bolbitis sinuata (C.Presl) Hennipman, Calamus ornatus Blume, Claoxylon longifolium (Blume) Endl. ex Hassk., Dapania racemosa Korth., Dioscorea kingii R.Knuth, Ficus rosulata C.C.Berg, Lasianthus reticulatus Blume, Ryparosa hullettii King and Senegalia kekapur (I.C.Nielsen) Maslin, Seigler & Ebinger.

  • Terra Australis 30
    terra australis 30 Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia — lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: Coastal Sites in Southern New South Wales. R.J.

  • Raupen Von Schwärmern Aus Laos Und Thailand - 2
    Neue Entomologische Nachrichten 64: 1-6, Marktleuthen Raupen von Schwärmern aus Laos und Thailand - 2. Beitrag (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) von ULF EITSCHB E RG E R & THOMAS IHL E eingegangen am 1.XII.2009 Zusammenfassung: In der 2. Arbeit über die Raupen von Schwärmern aus Laos und Thailand, werden die Praeimaginalstadi- en und die Falter von 14 Arten farbig abgebildet. Von Ambulyx siamensis INO ue , 1991 und Smerinthulus diehli HAY E S , [1982] werden erstmals Raupenstadien und die Puppe abgebildet, zusätzlich kann je eine Raupenfraßpflanze für jede Art angegeben werden. Darüberhinaus werden von Smerinthulus diehli HAY E S , [1982] beide Geschlechter farbig abgebildet, wobei es sich hier um die erste Abbildung eines ‡ handelt. Abstract: In the second paper of the caterpillars of the Sphingidae from Laos and Thailand, the first instars, the pupa and the adults of 14 species are figured in colour. OfAmbulyx siamensis INO ue , 1991 and of Smerinthulus diehli HAY E S , [1982] the caterpillars and the pupa are figured for the first time, also the first known foodplant of their caterpillar can be named. Of Smerinthulus diehli HAY E S , [1982] a couple is figured in colour - concerning the ‡, it is the first figure ever published. Einleitung Seit dem Erscheinen des ersten Teils der Arbeit zur Erforschung der Praeimaginalstadien, wie auch Informationen zum Verhalten und der Biologie der Sphingidae von Indochina (EITSCHB E RG E R & IHL E , 2008), konnten von IHL E erneut bereits bekannte, aber auch für diese Arbeit neue Arten gezüchtet werden. Aufgrund der vielen Fehler in der ersten Arbeit, die über- wiegend durch technische Tücken und letztendlich durch die Blindheit/Dummheit (nach dem Motto: „Nichts sehen und nicht denken“) des Druckers entstanden sind (ein aufmerksamer Mensch an der Druckmaschine hätte den Druck unterbinden und auf die Beseitigung der Fehler dringen müssen), wäre es uns am liebsten, die ganze Arbeit nochmals nachzudrucken.

Das verfügbare Bildmaterial der Raupen und Puppen dieser 35 Schwärmerarten wird auf 11 Farbtafeln abgebildet. Summary: Of 35 Sphigid species the foodplants of the caterpillars, where they could be found on, are reported. Also all avai­ lable pictures of the larvae as well as of the pupae of these 35 species are figured in 11 colour plates. Einleitung: Seit 1999 wohnt Thomas Ihle in Chiang Mai, Thailand, wo er mit seiner Familie lebt. Der größte Teil der in den zurückliegenden Jahren von Ihle in Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Thailand und Vietnam gesammelten Sphingiden wird im EMEM aufbewahrt. Seit unserer Bekanntschaft ist es auch das Bestreben von Ihle, die Biologie möglichst vieler Schwärmerarten zu erforschen. So entstanden bis heute zahlreiche Bilder von Raupen und Puppen einiger Arten, die hier veröffentlicht werden sollen. Es wird beabsichtigt, in zwangloser Folge, nach und nach, Ergänzungen über die Praeimaginalstadien dieser und wei­ terer Arten folgen zu lassen, nicht nur aus Laos und Thailand sonder auch den angrenzenden Ländern, in denen es gelingt Raupen zu sammeln und bis zum Falter zu züchten.
