The genus Rhaphidophora Hassk. (Araceae-Monsteroideae-Monstereae) in the Philippines [Page 213 - 256]
The genus Rhaphidophora Hassk. (Araceae-Monsteroideae-Monstereae) in the Philippines [Page 213 - 256]
Abstract:
An alpha-taxanomic account of Rhaphodophora Hassk. in the Philippine Islands is presented as a precursor to the forthcoming Flora Malesiana Araceae treatment. Eleven species are recognised, of which Rhaphidophora cretosa is newly described and R banosensis is proposed as a nomen novum for R. stenophylla Elmer non K. Krause. R. bulusanensis is reduced to the synonymy of R. monticola, R.rigida is merged with R. philippinensis and R. lagunensis is synonymised with R. acuminata. A dichotomous key to species is provided. All species are illustrated.

The significance of pollen morphology in the taxonomy of the genus Durio (Bombacaceae). [Page 261 - 271]
The significance of pollen morphology in the taxonomy of the genus Durio (Bombacaceae). [Page 261 - 271]
Abstract:
The pollen grains of 20 Durio species and 5 clones of D. zibethinus were studied. Based on the exine sculpture of the pollen, the Durio species can be divided into three major groups, i.e. psilate, scabrate and verrucate. However, variation in the exine sculpture is also exhibited in D. zibethiniis, D. malaceensis and D. singaporensis. In addition, pollen size and wall thickness provide useful taxonomic evidence in distinguishing certain species. Pollen characters, however, could be used as supplementary characters in the identification of Durio species.

Carr's spirit collection of Kinabalu orchids recovered, with some notes on Bulhophyllum species present in this collection [Page 273 - 284]
Carr's spirit collection of Kinabalu orchids recovered, with some notes on Bulhophyllum species present in this collection [Page 273 - 284]
Abstract:
In 1933. C.E. Carr assembled a large collection of orchids from Gunung Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. The herbarium specimens were duly processed and distributed, but the matching alcohol samples remained inaccessible until recently. Now, these samples have also been processed and are available for examination in the Singapore Botanic Gardens Herbarium. The material of the genus Bulbophyllum was studied; it yielded three new species and two new records for the Kinabalu area. These are described and annotated.

Notheria diaphana gen. nov., sp. nov. (Orchidaceae), a gem from Sulawesi. [Page 285 - 288]
Notheria diaphana gen. nov., sp. nov. (Orchidaceae), a gem from Sulawesi. [Page 285 - 288]
Abstract:
Notheria, gen. nov. (Orchidaceae. Eriinae), is described, with N. diaphana, sp. nov., as type species. On account of similarity, it is assumed to be closely related to both Eria Lindl., and Ceratostylis Blume; however Notheria differs from both in having a footless column and a lip with a distinct spur. The genus is endemic to Sulawesi (Indonesia).

Key to the Macaranga Thou, and Mallotus Lour, species (Euphorbiaceace) of East Kalimantan, Indonesia [Page 11 - 88]
Key to the Macaranga Thou, and Mallotus Lour, species (Euphorbiaceace) of East Kalimantan, Indonesia [Page 11 - 88]
Abstract:
A key to all Macaranga (27 taxa) and Mallotus (19 taxa) species known to occur in East Kalimantan (Indonesia) is provided in this paper. The key is mainly based on vegetative characters proven useful in the field. Some reproductive characters are included if identification is otherwise impossible. The taxa are described briefly by their diagnostic characters. Drawings are provided for most of the treated species.

The genus Rhaphidophora Hassk. (Araceae-Monsteroideae-Monstereae) in the southern and western Indonesian Archipelago. [Page 101 - 183]
Abstract:
An alpha-taxonomic account of Rhaphidophora in Sumatera, Java, Nusa Tenggara. Sulawesi and Maluku is presented as a precursor to the forthcoming Flora Malesiana Araceae treatment. Twenty four species are recognized, of which five (R. araea P.C. Boyce, R. balgooyi P.C.Boyce, R. floresensis P.C.Boyce, R. sabit P.C. Boyce and R. ustulata P.C. Boyce) are newly described. One new synonomy {R. scaberula Alderw. into R. puberula Engl.) is made. In addition, R. moluccensis Engl. & K. Krause is treated as doubtful. Eight informal morpho-taxonomic units ('Group') are proposed and compared. A dichotomous key to species is provided and 21 species are illustrated.
