Upper Palaeozoic floras of SE Asia

January 1998

John Rigby

Small Carboniferous floras of limited significance occur in Thailand and West Malaysia, They are related to the pan tropical Cathaysian and/or Laurasian floras. Extensive Permian floras are known from Thailand, Laos, West Malaysia, Sumatra and Irian Jaya and these floras were substantially related to Cathaysian floras. However, some floras from Irian Jaya and Thailand include one or more species ... [Show full abstract] of the Gondwanaland genus Glossopteris. When the distributions are plotted on a reconstruction for SE Asia prepared by Carey, requirements are met for proximity to centres for radiation of both Cathaysian and Gondwanan floras.

Brownlowia latifiana (Malvaceae-Brownlowioideae), a new species from Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia

March 2017 · Phytotaxa

A new species, Brownlowia latifiana (Malvaceae-Brownlowioideae), endemic to Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia, is described and illustrated. This new species has most of its morphological characters that are related to those of the genus Jarandersonia. Therefore, a standard morphological taxonomic revision and morphometric analysis were carried out to assess the status of Brownlowia latifiana. ... [Show full abstract] Results of the morphometric analysis based on morphological characters showed that Brownlowia latifiana is embedded within the clades of Brownlowia but distanced from the clades Jarandersonia. Brownlowia formed a distinct clade in the clustering tree well separated from the Jarandersonia. A distribution map and a conservation assessment using the IUCN Red List categories and criteria are provided.

The Flora of Malaysia projects

December 2015 · Rodriguesia

Malaysia has an estimated 15,000 species of vascular plants. Located in the Malesian region, its affinity is Sundaic, having common elements with Sumatra, Java and Palawan. The two halves of Malaysia, Peninsular Malaysia extending from mainland Asia and East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo have their own distinct floristic components. Peninsular Malaysia has about ... [Show full abstract] 8,200 species of vascular plants and Sabah and Sarawak have an estimated 12,000 species. The flora of Sabah and Sarawak is generally richer than that of Peninsular Malaysia. Due to historical reasons, the flora of Malaysia project is planned in a phased approach. The Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak project, initiated in 1991, represents the first systematic modern attempt to document some of the important plant families of these two states. It would take at least another ten years to complete this project. It is estimated that the Flora of Peninsular Malaysia project, initiated in 2005, will take at least 20 years to complete. To achieve these ambitions, there must be continual support in skilled manpower and fund allocations.

Diplodiscus latifii (Malvaceae-Brownlowioideae), a new species from Sabah, Malaysia

October 2020 · Phytokeys

A new species of Diplodiscus is described and illustrated from one collection made in lowland mixed dipterocarp forest in Sabah, Malaysia. Conspicuous by its twig colour, leaf shape and indumentum, it is probably allied to D. longifolius , but differs in sufficient characters (shape, indumentum, apex and venation of blade, flower bud shape and size, petal diameter, ovary shape and fruit shape and ... [Show full abstract] size) to be a species in its own right. A key to the species of Diplodiscus in Malaysia also is provided.
