Study of living and herbarium material of the small dicotyledon family Alseuosmiaceae (Gardner, 1976) has suggested some emendation of Airy Shaw’s diagnosis (1965: 249) of this group. Also, Hutchinson’s generic key (1967: 83) is unsatisfactory.

Piper (Piperaceae) in the Philippine Islands: the climbing species

Ano: 1978

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/524940

Piper in the Philippine Islands is reviewed. Fifteen climbing species are recognized (many fewer than in previous treatments) and distinguished in a key. Most are widely distributed through Malesia, with ranges that end eastwards in the Solomon Islands or Australia. Piper myrmecophilum, the only taxon accepted as endemic to the Philippines, is ant-associated. Piper celtidiforme, once thought endemic, also occurs in New Guinea and the Solomons. The five shrubby Piper species in the Philippines are briefly described.

The differences in the fruit and seed of the two New Zealand species of Beilschmiedia, B. tarairi and B. lawa, indicate that these organs might be a fertile source of taxonomic characters in the genus. Beilschmiedia neocaledonica of New Caledonia is like B. tarairi in having a mucilaginous layer in both fruit wall and seedcoat, while B. tawa lacks these layers.

Sixteen climbing Piper species are accepted for New Guinea. The three endemics, P. arfakianum, P. subcanirameum and P. versteegii, are fully described. Eight taxa of unclear circumscription are noted. A new variety of P. macropiper, endemic to Morobe Province of Papua New Guinea, is described. The presence of an ant-plant piper in West New Guinea is noted.

Eleven climbing species of Piper in the Solomon Islands are recognized: P. abbreviatum, P. betle, P. bosnicanum, P. caninum, P. celtidiforme, P. fragile, P. insectifugum (syn. P. austrocaledonicum), P. interruptum, P. macropiper, P. majusculum, and, as the only endemic, P. sclerophloeum, for which a description is provided.

A taxonomic account is given of six Piper species of New Guinea: P. bolanicum spec. nov., P. gibbilimbum, P. recessum spec. nov., P. subbullatum, P. triangulare and P. wabagense. These small shrubby trees are best represented in secondary growth and forest at 1300–2500 m altitude, with P. gibbilimbum reaching c. 3000 m and P. bolanicum (and rarely P. triangulare) c. 3500 m. Piper subbullatum, the most widespread of the six in New Guinea, sometimes descends to sea-level there and is also found in the Philippines and from the Bismarck Archipelago to Vanuatu. The New World species P. aduncum and P. subpeltatum, adventive to New Guinea, are treated briefly. Piper recessum spec. nov. has been confused with P. gibbilimbum and P. subbullatum but is a completely...
