Tropical Region', a Bibliography Has Been From, an Unpublished Species BLUMEA Supplement 8 (1995) 163-210 Botanical bibliography of the Araceae of Malesia, Australia, and the tropical western Pacific region A. Hay W.L.A. Hetterscheid J. Murata P.C. Boyce J. Bogner and N. Jacobsen Summary To complement the ‘Checklist of the Araceae of Malesia, Australia and the Tropical Western Pacific region’, a bibliography has been prepared as a basis for further work on the aroids of these areas. It is based on, but much extended from, an unpublished bibliography of Malesian Araceae assembled by the late Prof. Dr. C.G.G.J. van Steenis. It includes the ‘core’ taxonomic literature, i.e. that in which new nomencla- ture is introduced, and, in addition, numerous items appear which enumerate species, report expedition results, describe aspects of aroid biology, deal with nomenclatural matters etc. Flora accounts and extensive revisions of genera occurring in the region have been included for neighbouring areas. Those papers in which Araceae appear as but a part written by the author(s) of the whole have been citedwith full pagination. The extensive archaeological/ethnological, agricultural, phytopathological and bio- technological literature relating to Taro - Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott - has been largely omitted as it is felt that this is relevant to more specialized interest-groups than the checklist and this bibliography are aimed at serving. 1,264 items are listed.

  • Amorphophallus Paeoniifolius) Cultivated in Java
    Yuzammi, Tri Handayani. 2019 P.11 Analysis of Nutrient and Anti-Nutrient Compositions of “Suweg” (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius) Cultivated in Java Yuzammi a1 and Tri Handayania a Research Center for Plant Conservation and Botanic Gardens – Indonesian Institute of Sciences Jl. Ir. H. Juanda no. 13 Bogor (16122), Indonesia Abstract Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Dennts.) Nicolson belongs to the family Araceae. It is also known as elephant foot yam or suweg, notably for the Javanese. It is a common species in Java and is cultivated for its edible tubers. The suweg tubers used for this research were collected from Kuningan (West Java), Yogyakarta and Kediri (East Java). The study aimed to elucidate the nutrient and anti-nutrient compositions of suweg’s tuber, including carbohydrate, fat, proteins and minerals viz. Ca, Fe and P. The Kjeldhal method was used for protein determination, soxhlet extraction method for lipids, spectrophotometer method for carbohydrate, and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer method was used for mineral elements. Anti-nutrient contents determinated were Ca Oxalate and HCN using spectrophotometer method. Both fresh tuber and flour powder of suweg were analysed to indicate the highest percentage of Ca Oxalate content. The results showed that nutrient contents of suweg were carbohydrate 87.02 %, protein 7.08 % and fat 0.18%. These indicated that suweg has high carbohydrate and low fat contents; therefore it is suitable for dietary therapy. The concentration of anti-nutrient, such as Ca Oxalate was lower on the flour powder (0.01 %) rather than fresh tuber (0,21 %). This means the tuber of suweg was not harmful to consume after being processed.

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.

  • Flower Development and Its Implication for Seed Production on Amorphophallus Muelleri Blume (Araceae)
    J. Hort. Indonesia 7(2): 65-74. Agustus 2016. Flower Development and Its Implication for Seed Production on Amorphophallus muelleri Blume (Araceae) Edi Santosa1,2*, Adolf Pieter Lontoh1, Ani Kurniawati1, Maryati Sari1 and Nobuo Sugiyama3 Diterima 18 Maret 2016/Disetujui 06 Juli 2016 ABSTRACT There are many studies on agronomic and economic advantages of iles-iles (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume), leading to high demand on seed to support the rapid production expansion in many Asian countries. By contrast, there are few studies on flowering phenology and flower morphology although they affect the seed production. Therefore, we evaluated flowering phenology and flower morphology of 80 plants of A. muelleri grown in a field under 65% artificial shading net at Leuwikopo Experimental Farm IPB Darmaga, Bogor, Indonesia from May 2015 to July 2016 in order to improve seed production. A. muelleri produced solitary spadix, with female flowers at the lower part and male flowers at the upper part. Spadix grew slowly for 56-71 days after bud break, and then grew rapidly thereafter for 30-35 days until anthesis. Seed was harvested 9.6 to 10.2 months after anthesis. We devided the development of spadix into seven phases, bud break as stage I and berry maturity as stage VII. Stage VI to VII determined seed production. Seed production was also affected by root formation and spadix size. There were strong positive correlations between length of the female zones with berry production. Some morphological characteristics of spadix were dependent on corm size, thus, it was likely that agronomic improvement to enhance female flower and corm sizes was important in seed production.

These aliens come in the form of plants, animals and microbes that have been introduced into an area from other parts of the world, and have been able to displace indigenous species. Invasive alien species are emerging as one of the major threats to sustainable development, on a par with global warming and the destruction of life-support systems. Increased mobility and human interaction have been key drivers in the spread of Indigenous Alien Species. Invasion by alien species is a global phenomenon, with threatening negative impacts to the indigenous biological diversity as well as related negative impacts on human health and overall his well-being. Thus, threatening the ecosystems on the earth. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) found that trends in species introductions, as well as modelling predictions, strongly suggest that biological invasions will continue to increase in number and impact. An additional concern is that multiple human impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems will decrease the natural biotic resistance to invasions and, therefore, the number of biotic communities dominated by invasive species will increase. India one of the 17 "megadiverse" countries and is composed of a diversity of ecological habitats like forests, grasslands, wetlands, coastal and marine ecosystems, and desert ecosystems have been reported with 40 percent of alien flora species and 25 percent out of them invasive by National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resource.

(Araceae), with P. ebo, a new, Critically Endangered species from Ebo, Cameroon. Martin Cheek¹, Barthelemy Tchiengue2, Xander van der Burgt¹ ¹Science, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, U.K. 2 IRAD-Herbier National Camerounais, Yaoundé, BP 1601, Cameroon Corresponding author: Martin Cheek¹ Email address: [email protected] ABSTRACT This is the first revision in nearly 130 years of the African genus Pseudohydrosme, formerly considered endemic to Gabon. Sister to Anchomanes, Pseudohydrosme is distinct from Anchomanes because of its 2–3-locular ovary (not unilocular), peduncle concealed by cataphylls at anthesis and far shorter than the spathe (not exposed, far exceeding the spathe), stipitate fruits and viviparous (vegetatively apomictic) roots (not sessile, roots non-viviparous). Three species, one new to science, are recognised, in two sections. Although doubt has previously been cast on the value of recognising Pseudohydrosme buettneri, of Gabon, it is here accepted and maintained as a distinct species in the monotypic section, Zyganthera. However, it is considered to be probably globally extinct. Pseudohydrosme gabunensis, type species of the genus, also Gabonese, is maintained in Sect. Pseudohydrosme together with Pseudohydrosme ebo sp.nov. of the Ebo Forest, Littoral, Cameroon, the first addition to the genus since the nineteenth century, and which extends the range of the genus 450 km north from Gabon, into the Cross-Sanaga biogeographic area.

  • Low Risk Aquarium and Pond Plants
    Plant Identification Guide Low-risk aquarium and pond plants Planting these in your pond or aquarium is environmentally-friendly. Glossostigma elatinoides, image © Sonia Frimmel. One of the biggest threats to New Zealand’s waterbodies is the establishment and proliferation of weeds. The majority of New Zealand’s current aquatic weeds started out as aquarium and pond plants. To reduce the occurrence of new weeds becoming established in waterbodies this guide has been prepared to encourage the use of aquarium and pond plants that pose minimal risk to waterbodies. Guide prepared by Dr John Clayton, Paula Reeves, Paul Champion and Tracey Edwards, National Centre of Aquatic Biodiversity and Biosecurity, NIWA with funding from the Department of Conservation. The guides will be updated on a regular basis and will be available on the NIWA website: www.niwa.co.nz/ncabb/tools. Key to plant life-forms Sprawling marginal plants. Grow across the ground and out over water. Pond plants Short turf-like plants. Grow in shallow water on the edges of ponds and foreground of aquariums. Includes very small plants (up to 2-3 cm in height). Most species can grow both submerged (usually more erect) and emergent. Pond and aquarium plants Tall emergent plants. Can grow in water depths up to 2 m deep depending on the species. Usually tall reed-like plants but sometimes with broad leaves. Ideal for deeper ponds. Pond plants Free floating plants. These plants grow on the water surface and are not anchored to banks or bottom substrates. Pond and aquarium plants Floating-leaved plants. Water lily-type plants.

  • Notes on Cryptocoryne
    Notes on Cryptocoryne BY T. Petch, B.A., B.Sc. WITH FOUR PLATES The genus Cryptocoryne (Araceae) was established by Fischer for the reception of two Indian species, Cryptocoryne spiralis and Crypto- coryne ciliata, which had been described under Ambrosinia by Roxburgh. Additional species were described by Roxburgh, Schott, and other botanists, while in Beccari, Malesia, Engler described eleven new species from Borneo and gave a conspectus of twenty-four known species. In Flora British India, Hooker enumerated sixteen species, and in Flora of Ceylon, five species. The total number of species is now over thirty, confined to the Eastern Tropics. For our knowledge of the structure of the flower we are indebted almost entirely to Griffith, who recorded the results of his examination of fresh specimens of Cryptocoryne ciliata in Trans. Linn. Soc., XX, pp. 263-276. The spadix is small, and it is not easy to determine the details of its structure from dried specimens. Consequently, very little has been added to Griffith's account, and a detailed examination of the living flower is still lacking in the case of the majority of the alleged species. In Ceylon, Cryptocoryne has been considered very rare. Crypto- coryne Thwaitesii Schott, hitherto the best-known species, occurs in the wet low-country in the south-west of the Island. C. Nevillii Trimen was described from a single collection made by Nevill in the Eastern Province. C. Beckettii Thwaites was collected in 1865 in Matale East, and there are two subsequent collections assigned to this species in Herb., Peradeniya. The record of C.

  • Cytological Studies on South Indian Araceae K. Ramachandran
    Cytologia 43: 289-303, 1978 Cytological Studies on South Indian Araceae K. Ramachandran Departmentof Botany,University of Kerala,Trivandrum, India ReceivedSeptember 21, 1976 Araceae is a large family consisting of 1400-1500 species in 105 genera (Lawrence 1960), distributed largely in the tropics. The family includes three important tuber crops, viz. dasheen or taro (Colocasia esculenta Schott), tanier (Xanthosoma sagitti folium Schott) and elephantfoot yam (Amorphophallus campanulatus B1.) widely cultivated in most tropical countries. Other cultivated species of less importance are Alocasia indica and Typhonium trilobatum. The aim of the present investigation has been chromosome studies of cultivated and wild tuberous species of the Araceae. Cytological observations on 30 species, mostly indigenous to South India are pre sented in this paper. Karyological studies of four South Indian species of Amor phophallus have been reported elsewhere (Ramachandran 1977). Materials and methods All the materials investigated in the present study except Theriophonum minutum, Typhonium trilobatum and Arisaema wightii, were collected from different localities in Kerala, South India. Acetocarmine squashes of root tips and anthers fixed in 1:3 acetic alcohol were made according to the usual method. Root tips of plants with large or medium sized chromosomes were treated with 0.002M aqueous solution of 8-hydroxy quinoline at about 4•Ž for 3-4 hrs. and of plants with small chromosomes chilled for an hour in water at 4•Ž prior to fixation. For meiotic studies, parts of spadices with staminate flowers or stamens were directly fixed in acetic alcohol. The chromosome numbers of taxa determined in the present study are listed in Table 1.
