“…It is considered part of the Greater Mindanoa biogeographic region (Ong, Afuang, & Rosell-Ambol, 2002) and marks the northernmost landmass in the Eastern Mindanoa Biodiversity Corridor (Ibañez & Salvador, 2008). This island boasts a high level of floral and faunal endemism (Ambal et al, 2012;Heaney & Rabor, 1982), with new plant species continually being described (Fernando, Quakenbush, Lillo, & Ong, 2018;Fernando & Wilson, 2021;Maglangit et al, 2021). In a study of plant diversity on Dinagat Island, Lillo et al (2019) reported 432 native species from 87 families and 203 genera from six forest habitat types and with at least 40 island-endemic taxa.…”

A new species of Cyne (Loranthaceae) from Bucas Grande and Dinagat Islands, Philippines is described and named C. barcelonae in honor of the Filipina botanist Julie F. Barcelona. Phylogenetic analysis using the complete nuclear ribosomal DNA cistron confirms it is sister to C. banahaensis, the only species among the six in the genus with complete descriptions of floral morphology. The species is similar to the rare C. perfoliata of Papua New Guinea by having connate-perfoliate upper leaves but differs from others in the genus by possessing palmate leaf venation, inflorescences lacking an operculum, light green corollas, and stamens with filaments. No type material for Cyne quadriangula exists, thus this taxon is only known from the original protologue. It was rediscovered on Bucas Grande Island and that collection was described and used as the neotype for the species. A revised description of the genus and key to the seven species is provided.

Medinilla is a tropical forest plant that has potential as an ornamental and medicinal plant. The diversity of Medinilla in Bali is poorly studied. This study aims to determine the diversity, distribution and conservation activities of Bali’s Medinilla at the Eka Karya Bali Botanical Garden. The research method used are literature study, search for data collection and exploration, amd herbarium observations. Based on this research, it is known that there are six species of Medinilla in Bali such as Medinilla crassifolia (Reinw.ex Blume) Blume, Medinilla alpestris Blume, Medinilla laurifolia (Blume) Blume, Medinilla radicans (Blume) Blume, Medinilla speciosa (Reinw.ex Blume) Blume and Medinilla quadrifolia (BI.) Bakh. F. M. quadrifolia is a new distribution record for Bali. All species were discovered in the districts of Buleleng, Bangli, Gianyar, Jembrana, Karangasem and Tabanan districts. Only four species have been conserved in the Bali Botanical Gardens, according to data from the Eka Karya Bali Botanical Gardens' collection, therefore exploration and collection activities are critical. Conservation activities carried out at Eka Karya Bali Botanical Garden are collecting and data collection, maintaining and propagating species of Medinilla.
