| Vegetation descriptions of Mount Kinabalu (4101 m), the highest mountain in tropical Asia between the Himalayas and New Guinea, have resulted in different, conflicting zonations. Some stress more on floristic affinities, others more on physiognomy. A lowland zone reaching to about 1000 m is usually distinguished. The next 2000 m comprising the mountain forests are treated in many different ways. A summit zone (above 3800 m) is recognized rather often (cf. Stapf, 1895; Gibbs, 1914; Meijer, 1963; Van Steenis, 1964; Menzel, 1988). In our opinion the most convincing is the zonation proposed by Van Steenis, who stressed the floristic composition. This comprises three zones: 1. the foothill zone below 1000 m; 2. the montane zone from 1000 to 2500 m; 3. the... |

Price unknown. ISBN 92.5.102153.8. This brochure is the second of a series on potential food plants from various tropical areas. The idea to produce the series was generated during the 8th World Forestry Congress in Jakarta in 1978. It reflects the increasing public awareness of the forest as a resource for mankind and as such is to be welcomed. The paper prepared by the Forest Research Institute, Laguna, contains the descriptions of 70 species with notes on names, uses, propagation, all in relation to the Philippines. |
