Millettia Borneensis LC Taxonomic Authority: Adema  Global Assessment  Regional Assessment Region: Global  Endemic to Region Millettia borneensis LC Taxonomic Authority: Adema Global Assessment Regional Assessment Region: Global Endemic to region Upper Level Taxonomy Kingdom: PLANTAE Phylum: TRACHEOPHYTA Class: MAGNOLIOPSIDA Order: FABALES Family: LEGUMINOSAE Lower Level Taxonomy Rank: Infra- rank name: Plant Hybrid Subpopulation: Authority: This was described as a new species of Millettia by F. Adema in 2000. General Information Distribution This species is reported to be in Sumatera, Borneo (Sarawak, Brunei, Sabah, West- and East-Kalimantan), Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia (Silk 2009, Adema 2000). However it was not found in the Checklist of the Total Vascular Plant Flora of Singapore (Chong et al. 2009). Two specimens were found from Singapore, however, they are dated 1857 and 1897. The current presence of this species here remains uncertain. The only specimen record found from Sumatera was collected from a garden, and the records from Peninsular Malaysia are pre 1940. As this species was newly described in 2000 (Adema 2000), it is possible that some existing specimens have not yet been redetermined, and further work on the identification and taxonomy of this species is needed. Range Size Elevation Biogeographic Realm Area of Occupancy: Upper limit: 250 Afrotropical Extent of Occurrence: Lower limit: 0 Antarctic Map Status: Depth Australasian Upper limit: Neotropical Lower limit: Oceanian Depth Zones Palearctic Shallow photic Bathyl Hadal Indomalayan Photic Abyssal Nearctic Population No population data is available for this species. However recent specimens have been collected in Borneo, the most recent dated 2005. A specimen from Sabah collected in 1965 records this species as a common tree along rivers. Total Population Size Minimum Population Size: Maximum Population Size: Habitat and Ecology This shrub or tree, from 4 to 50 metres high, grows in undisturbed, lowland, mixed dipterocarp forest. In secondary forest it is usually a remnant from the original vegetation. It is found particularly along rivers and is also found in swamp forest. It grows on limestone and sandy soils. System Movement pattern Crop Wild Relative Terrestrial Freshwater Nomadic Congregatory/Dispersive Is the species a wild relative of a crop? Marine Migratory Altitudinally migrant Growth From Definition Shrub - size unkno Perennial shrub (any size), also termed a Phanerophyte if >1m or a Chamaephyte if <1m Tree - large Large tree, also termed a Phanerophyte (>1m) Tree - small Small tree, also termed a Phanerophyte (>1m) Threats This species suffers from the threats of habitat loss associated with expanding human populations. The lowland forest habitat, within the range of this species, is particularly susceptible to clearing for agricultural cultivation, such as palm oil plantations and timber extraction. In Singapore, as a result of extensive urbanization, very little natural habitat remains. Lowland forest habitats in Borneo have been subject to loss, with an estimate of more than half of the natural habitat of this ecoregion having been cleared or degraded (Loucks 2001). There has been extensive logging activity and conversion to agriculture, both small scale slash and burn, and large scale, for example for palm oil and rubber plantations and loss of habitat as aresult of fires. Remote sensing has estimated the extent of closed canopy oil plantation, in the lowlands of Borneo, to be 2.4 million hectares (Koh et al. 2011). These threats are ongoing. Its persistance after logging activities, in some areas, suggests that it may have some tolerance to disturbance.

It may benefit from existing protected areas, for example, it is recorded from the Ulu Tungud Forest Reserve in Sabah. However, these areas occupy only a small percentage of its range, and nearly all records fall outside them. The threats to the habitat of this species are ongoing and monitoring of the population status and trends, and habitat status and threats, is recommended.

Rationale for the Red List Assessment The extent of occurrence (EOO) exceeds the threshold for a threatened category, even if the records for Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and Sumatera are excluded. The estimated area of occupancy (AOO) and inferred population also exceed the thresholds. It is assessed as Least Concern (LC).

  • Endosamara Racemosa (Roxb.) Geesink and Callerya Vasta (Kosterm.) Schot
    Taiwania, 48(2): 118-128, 2003 Two New Members of the Callerya Group (Fabaceae) Based on Phylogenetic Analysis of rbcL Sequences: Endosamara racemosa (Roxb.) Geesink and Callerya vasta (Kosterm.) Schot (1,3) (1,2) Jer-Ming Hu and Shih-Pai Chang (Manuscript received 2 May, 2003; accepted 29 May, 2003) ABSTRACT: Two new members of Callerya group in Fabaceae, Endosamara racemosa (Roxb.) Geesink and Callerya vasta (Kosterm.) Schot, are identified based on phylogenetic analyses of chloroplast rbcL sequences. These taxa joined with other previously identified taxa in the Callerya group: Afgekia, Callerya, and Wisteria. These genera are resolved as a basal subclade in the Inverted Repeat Lacking Clade (IRLC), which is a large legume group that includes many temperate and herbaceous legumes in the subfamily Papilionoideae, such as Astragalus, Medicago and Pisum, and is not close to other Millettieae. Endosamara is sister to Millettia japonica (Siebold & Zucc.) A. Gray, but only weakly linked with Wisteria and Afgekia. KEY WORDS: Endosamara, Callerya, Millettieae, Millettia, rbcL, Phylogenetic analysis. INTRODUCTION Recent molecular phylogenetic studies of the tribe Millettieae have revealed that the tribe is polyphyletic and several taxa are needed to be segregated from the core Millettieae group. One of the major segregates from Millettieae is the Callerya group, comprising species from Callerya, Wisteria, Afgekia, and Millettia japonica (Siebold & Zucc.) A. Gray. The group is considered to be part of the Inverted-Repeat-Lacking Clade (IRLC; Wojciechowski et al., 1999) including many temperate herbaceous legumes. Such result is consistent and supported by chloroplast inverted repeat surveys (Lavin et al., 1990; Liston, 1995) and phylogenetic studies of the phytochrome gene family (Lavin et al., 1998), chloroplast rbcL (Doyle et al., 1997; Kajita et al., 2001), trnK/matK (Hu et al., 2000), and nuclear ribosomal ITS regions (Hu et al., 2002).

  • Millettia Pinnata), a Candidate Biofuel Crop in Hawai‘I
    Observational field assessment of invasiveness of pongamia (Millettia pinnata), a candidate biofuel crop in Hawai‘i Prepared by: Curtis C. Daehler Department of Botany, University of Hawai‘i June 2018 Table of Contents Summary……………………………………………………………………………… 3 Background…………………………………………………………………………… 4 Methods………………………………………………………………………………. 5 Results ………………………………………………………………..………………. 6 Discussion ………………………………………………………………..…………… 31 Conclusions and Recommendations ………………………………………............…. 33 Acknowledgments………………………………………………………………….…. 34 Literature Cited………………………………………………………………………... 34 This work received funding support from the Federal Aviation Administration through the Aviation Sustainability Center (ASCENT), also known as the Center of Excellence for Alternative Jet Fuels and Environment. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the FAA, NASA or Transport Canada. 2 Summary Pongamia (Millettia pinnata), a tree in the bean family (Fabaceae), is a candidate biofuel crop in Hawai‘i. Pongamia was previously assessed by the Hawaii-Pacific Weed Risk Assessment (HPWRA) and predicted to pose a high risk of becoming an invasive weed in Hawai‘i (HPWRA score = 7, where a score of 6 or higher indicates high risk). Retrospective analyses show that predictive WRA systems correctly identify many major pest plants, but WRA predictions are not 100% accurate. The purpose of this study was to make field observations of pongamia planted around Oahu in order to look for direct evidence that pongamia is escaping from plantings and becoming an invasive weed on Oahu. Seven field sites were visited in varying environments across Oahu. Although some pongamia seedlings were found in the vicinity of some pongamia plantings, particularly in wetter, partly shaded environments, almost all observed seedlings were restricted to areas directly beneath the canopy of mother trees.

  • Pongamia Pinnata: Pongam1 Edward F
    ENH657 Pongamia pinnata: Pongam1 Edward F. Gilman, Dennis G. Watson, Ryan W. Klein, Andrew K. Koeser, Deborah R. Hilbert, and Drew C. McLean2 Introduction Pongam is a fast-growing evergreen tree which reaches 40 feet in height wit up to a 55-foot spread, forming a broad, spreading canopy casting moderate shade. The six- to nine-inch-long, pinnately compound, shiny dark green leaves are briefly deciduous, dropping for just a short period of time in early spring but being quickly replaced by new growth. Pongam is at its finest in the spring when the showy, hanging clusters of white, pink, or lavender, pea-like, fragrant blossoms appear, the clusters up to 10 inches long. These beautiful blossoms and the glossy, nearly-evergreen leaves help make pongam a favorite for use as a specimen, shade, or windbreak. It has also been planted as a street tree, but dropping pods often litter the ground. However, the seeds which are contained within the oval, 1 ¼-2-inch- long, brown seedpods are poisonous, a fact which should be considered in placing the tree in the landscape, if many children are present.

The latter is lectotypified and its characteristics are discussed with the close genera. Illustrations, descriptions, taxonomic notes and distribution map are provided. KEYWORDS: Flora of Thailand, Indo-China, lectotypification, taxonomy. Accepted for publication: 19 December 2018. Published online: 18 January 2019 INTRODUCTION (Lôc & Vidal, 2001), and is reported here in Trat province, near the mountainous range of the Millettia Wight & Arn. was first described by Cambodian-Thai border as a newly recorded species Wight & Arnott (1834), based on two species; for Thailand. The morphological characters of M. rubiginosa Wight & Arn. and M. splendens Wight M. pierrei are similar to some species of the genus & Arn. It was supposed that there were approximately Fordia Hemsl., including F. albiflora (Prain) 150 species in total, with about 60 species in Africa U.A.Dasuki & Schot, F. bracteolata U.A.Dasuki & and Madagascar, and 40–50 in Asia (Schrire, 2005), Schot, F. leptobotrys (Dunn) U.A.Dasuki & Schot, but current molecular evidence has shown that the F. ngii Whitmore and F. nivea (Dunn) U.A.Dasuki & genus Millettia is not a monophyletic taxon (Hu, Schot by sharing the calyx lobes which are imbricate 2000; Hu et al., 2000; Kajita et al., 2001; Hu et al., in bud and spindle-shaped floral buds (Dasuki & 2002).

Kumar2, Yogesh K. Ahlawat2, David E. Harry3, Chandrashekhar P. Joshi2* and Yizhi Zheng1* Abstract Background: Pongamia (Millettia pinnata syn. Pongamia pinnata), an oilseed legume species, is emerging as potential feedstock for sustainable biodiesel production. Breeding Pongamia for favorable traits in commercial application will rely on a comprehensive understanding of molecular mechanism regulating oil accumulation during its seed development. To date, only limited genomic or transcript sequences are available for Pongamia, while a temporal transcriptome profiling of developing seeds is still lacking in this species. Results: In this work, we conducted a time-series analysis of morphological and physiological characters, oil contents and compositions, as well as global gene expression profiles in developing Pongamia seeds. Firstly, three major developmental phases were characterized based on the combined evidences from embryonic shape, seed weight, seed moisture content, and seed color. Then, the gene expression levels at these three phases were quantified by RNA-Seq analyses with three biological replicates from each phase. Nearly 94% of unigenes were expressed at all three phases, whereas only less than 2% of unigenes were exclusively expressed at one of these phases. A total of 8881 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between phases. Furthermore, the qRT- PCR analyses for 10 DEGs involved in lipid metabolism demonstrated a good reliability of our RNA-Seq data in temporal gene expression profiling.

General Information Distribution This species is thought to be native to Myanmar and Thailand (Ali 1968, Kumar and Sane 2003). However, The Checklist of the Trees, Shrubs, Herbs and Climbers of Myanmar only lists this as a cultivated species (Kress et al. 2003). The few dated specimen records, for this species in Myanmar, are from the late nineteenth century, with one collected in 1927. The herbarium sheet with the specimen from Thailand is stamped Herbarium Hookerianum 1867. It is widely introduced in India and Pakistan and it is also found in Bangladesh, where its origin is uncertain (Kumar and Sane 2003). Its origin in Cambodia is also uncertain. Specimens are recorded inThe Global Biodiversity Information Facility, from Papua New Guinea; this is also inferred to be an introduction.

Box 9514 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands Summary The Millettia & Arn. is revised for the Flora Malesiana Two genus Wight area. new species are described: M. borneensis and M. glabra. Pongamia velutina (C.T. White) Verdc, is transferred to Millettia; as the epitheton velutina is already in use in Millettia, a new name is proposed: M. velve- tina Adema. In total 15 species are recognised for the area concerned. A key to the species is given. An identification list and an index of names are included. Key words : Millettia,Malesia, Solomon Islands. Introduction Millettiawas described by Wight & Arnott (1834: 263) to accommodate two new & and & Am. Since then species: M. rubiginosa Wight Am. M. splendens Wight many species have been added to this genus. Dunn (1912) accepted 127 species in 15 sections. Geesink (1981 a, 1984) transferred several sections to other generaand unitedPongamia Vent, with Millettiasect. Fragiliflorae (see alsoAdema,2000).
