Abstract
Phenetic Analysis and Distribution of Claoxylon in the Lesser Sunda Islands. Floribunda 6(5): 167–174. — The genus Claoxylon A.Juss. in the Lesser Sunda Islands (LSI) was reviewed. Eleven species were recognized in Lesser Sunda Islands. Records of C. capillipes and C. fulvescens were extended to the Bali Island. Based on distribution of Claoxylon in LSI, Bali has the highest number of species (7 species), while Wetar shows the least number of species (only 1 species). A phenetic analysis was using Numerical Taxonomy and Multivariate Analysis System (NTSYS-pc) version 2.11a and distribution mapping using Quantum GIS version 2.4. Based on 14 morphological characters grouped Claoxylon species in LSI into three groups. All Claoxylon in LSI belong to section Indica and Affinia.
Highlights
Floribunda merupakan organ resmi Penggalang Taksonomi Tumbuhan Indonesia, diterbitkan dua kali setahun dan menerbitkan makalah dalam bahasa Indonesia dan Inggris mengenai pelbagai gatra sistematika keanekaragaman flora Malesia pada umumnya dan Indonesia pada khususnya yang berasal dari hasil penelitian, pengamatan lapangan, pengalaman pribadi, telaahan bergagasan, dan tinjauan kritis
This revision work has been carried out at Herbarium Bogoriense (BO) based on the study of 113 dried herbarium specimens (63 from LSI and 45 from Sulawesi and Moluccas), relevant literatures for the Lesser Sunda Islands and neighbouring regions, and 6 specimens collected during explorations in Lombok and Sumba
Morphological data were used to identify (Appendix 1), compiled in a matrix and used phenetic analysis based on simple matching (SM) coefficient and Unweighted Pair Group with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA)
Summary
This revision work has been carried out at Herbarium Bogoriense (BO) based on the study of 113 dried herbarium specimens (63 from LSI and 45 from Sulawesi and Moluccas), relevant literatures for the Lesser Sunda Islands and neighbouring regions, and 6 specimens collected during explorations in Lombok and Sumba. The term of botany followed the terminology of Harris & Harris (2001). The leaf architecture followed the Manual of Leaf Architectures (Ash et al 1999). Morphological data were used to identify (Appendix 1), compiled in a matrix and used phenetic analysis based on simple matching (SM) coefficient and Unweighted Pair Group with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA). Grouping 63 samples of Claoxylon based on 14 characters carried out used similarity for qualitative data (SIMQUAL). All analyses were performed using the Numerical Taxonomy and Multivariate Analysis System (NTSYS-pc) program version 2.11a (Rohlf 1997). A similarity index and clustering used UPGMA and distribution mapping using Quantum GIS version 2.4
