Abstract

Pangi (Pangium edule Reinw.) is one of the Indonesian plant, which is recently becoming rare, especially in Java and Sumatera. Based on the herbarium collections, the plant is distributed throughout Indonesia. It grows well below 300 m above sea level, but it is found up to 1000 m a.s.l., in primary and secondary rain forests, also a long river banks, in teak forests, on dryland, stony or clay soils. Pangi is known as a poisonous tree, but the seeds have been extensively utilized for many favorite dishes. The fresh leaves or seeds or the oil are used as an anticeptic, disinfectant or antiparasitic, to preserve meat and to kill fish, etc. The seeds seem to be dispersed by water, because they have excellent floating capacity. However, in Bacan Island, North Maluku, they might also be dispersed by black monkeys.

Abstract

The species richness and abundance of vascular epiphytes in the lowland dipterocarp forest, East Kalimantan is described. Fifty six species of vascular epiphytes have been recorded within a 6 ha plot, comprising 39 genera and 12 families. It was recorded that 387 trees (9.84%) of the total trees of 3933, have supported epiphytes. The epiphytic plant communities within two different habitat showed that the swamp area is poorer than the dry land habitat, both in species richness and abundance. Asplenium nidu and Pandanus epiplyhcus were recorded as the common species in both habitats;while Platyceriunl coronarium tends to occur at crown layer especially in the dry-land habitat.
