“…Limestone landscapes are comprised of several diverse plant communities and are floristically unique compared to other forest types. The varied ecological niches and intricate terrains that can be found within the limestone landscapes result in high species diversity of the area (Asanok and Marod 2016;Clements et al 2006;Saw et al 2010). The surface rock layer of limestone landscapes has innumerable perforations and hollow areas that allow rainwater to drain fast underground.…”

Abstract. Tolentino PJS, Navidad JRL, Angeles MD, Fernandez AP, Villanueva ELC, Obena RDR, Buot Jr IE. 2020. Review: Biodiversity of forests over limestone in Southeast Asia with emphasis on the Philippines. Biodiversitas 21: 1597-1613. A comprehensive review of literature was carried out to determine the status of plant and animal diversity on forests over limestone in Southeast Asia (SEA), particularly in the Philippines. Angiosperm records are available in Peninsular Malaysia (1216 spp.); West Java and Seram Indonesia (101 and 149 spp., respectively); Laos (135 spp.); Thailand and Myanmar (1 sp.); and Limestone areas in Vietnam. Pteridophytes were recorded in Malaysia (32 spp.) while Bryophytes are recorded in Peninsular Malaysia (59 spp.). In the Philippines, there are plant records in: Masbate (61 spp.); Isabela (169 spp. Pteridophytes); Bohol (12 spp.), and Samar forests over limestone (29 spp. palms and 20 spp. orchids). A floral assessment in Samar Island Natural Park (SINP) includes species (212 spp.) that can possibly be found but are not limited to karsts. New Philippine endemic species are also recorded in Cebu, Palawan, and Panay Island. There are animal records in SEA including Vietnam (Bats-36, Bird-1, and Langurs-5 spp.); Malaysia (Sciuridae-1, Bats-28, Birds-129, Reptiles-17, and Invertebrates-74 spp.); Thailand (Murids-12, Reptiles-11, and Amphibian-1 sp.); and Myanmar (Reptiles-15 spp.). Records in the Philippines include: Mammals (Bicol-9, Mt. Irid-24, Mt. Aruyan-1, and Cebu-1 species), and; Birds (Cebu-1 sp.). A terrestrial faunal assessment in SINP includes species (182 spp.) that can possibly be found but are not limited to karsts. Forests over limestone are still largely understudied and the potential of discovering species is high. Further research is critical to establish science-based initiatives and policies that will protect and conserve limestone ecosystem biodiversity while allowing the utilization of its biological resources at a sustainable level.

“…Moreover, the level of endemism is also higher in Sabah and Sarawak with 42% endemism in seed plants compared to Peninsular Malaysia with about 26.4% (Ng et al 1990). The higher endemism in Sabah and Sarawak is explained by the presence of higher mountains in Sabah and Sarawak and a greater diversity of soils and geological formations compared to Peninsular Malaysia (Saw et al 2010).…”

“…There are major differences in the tree flora of Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (Saw et al 2010). In general, East Malaysia harbors a richer tree flora compared to Peninsular Malaysia with Sabah and Sarawak having on average 44% more species than Peninsular Malaysia (Saw & Chung 2007).…”

abstract. We analyze the geographical and elevational ranges and the habitats of 30 species and two varieties of Lejeunea Lib. recorded from Malaysia. The greatest diversity of Lejeunea in Malaysia is found on Mt. Kinabalu with 27 species. The majority of the species are Malesian in distribution with a high number (8) belonging to the West Malesian element. Widely distributed species are often autoicous and produce spores freely; those with narrow distributions are more often dioicous and rarely produce spores. Dispersal of dioicous species seems to be promoted by asexual reproduction, being more common in wide-ranging dioicous species than in narrow-ranging ones. Endemism is 10% with three species being known only from Mt. Kinabalu. Range sizes of species decrease towards higher elevation and endemic species occur exclusively in the mountains. About half of the species occur in the lower montane rainforest belt, which is the elevational zone with the highest diversity of Lejeunea in Malaysia. The majority of the species are epiphytes, either corticolous or ramicolous. One species (L. dimorpha) is an obligate epiphyll. The new species Lejeunea tamaspocsii G. E. Lee is described and two new combinations, L. dipterota (Eifrig) G. E. Lee and L. exilis var. abnormis (Herzog) G. E. Lee, are proposed.

RARE PLANT LITERACY FOR BIOLOGICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS AS A RESULT OF THE TASK OF MINI RESEARCH AbstractIndonesia is known as one of the mega biodiversity countries, but ironically biodiversity in Indonesia has actually decreased, so that there are around 240 species of plants already included in the list of endangered plants. Therefore a movement is needed to educate the academic community, in this case Biology Education students through lecture assignments about endangered plant literacy. Thus the problem in this study is how the literacy of endangered plants of Biology Education students as a result of mini research in plant biology lectures. This research is a descriptive research. The research instruments included a mini research assessment sheet, which included aspects of the accuracy of determining plant species which included endangered categories, descriptions of morphology, classification and benefits of these plants. Biology Education students are assigned to survey, inventory and observe endangered plants in West Java. Overall endangered plant literacy of Biology Education students is good, but the aspect that is still lacking is in determining plant species in endangered categories. One of the plants found in Sukabumi area is Cynometra cauliflora including vulnerable plants. Need to develop assignments and assessments to assess endangered plant literacy of students to be more comprehensive. AbstrakIndonesia dikenal sebagai salah satu negara mega biodiversitas tetapi ironisnya keanekaragaman hayati di Indonesia justeru mengalami penurunan, sehingga ada sekitar 240 jenis tumbuhan sudah masuk dalam daftar tumbuhan langka. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan suatu gerakan untuk mengedukasi masyarakat akademis, dalam hal ini mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi melalui tugas perkuliahan tentang literasi tumbuhan langka. Dengan demikian masalah yang diangkat pada penelitian ini adalah bagaimana literasi tumbuhan langka mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi sebagai hasil tugas mini riset perkuliahan biologi tumbuhan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif. Instrumen penelitian meliputi lembar penilaian mini riset, yang meliputi aspek ketepatan penentuan spesies tumbuhan yang termasuk kategori langka, deskripsi morfologi, klasifikasi dan manfaat tumbuhan tersebut. Mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi ditugaskan untuk mensurvey, menginventarisasi dan mengobservasi tumbuhan langka yang berada di daerah Jawa Barat. Secara keseluruhan literasi tumbuhan langka mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi termasuk baik, tetapi aspek yang masih kurang sekali adalah pada penentuan spesies tumbuhan dalam kategori langka. Salah satu tumbuhan yang ditemukan di daerah Sukabumi adalah Cynometra cauliflora termasuk tumbuhan berstatus rawan. Perlu pengembangan penugasan dan asesmennya untuk menilai literasi tumbuhan langka mahasiswa agar lebih komprehensif.
