A New Species

A new species of Friesodielsia (Annonaceae), Friesodielsia formosa, is described from Borneo. A large woody climber of lowland forests, the species has been collected from Sabah, Sarawak and Kalimantan. A new combination in Friesodielsia is made for Oxymitra grandifolia Merr. which is resurrected from the synonymy of Friesodielsia latifolia (Hook.f. & Thomson) Steenis. The name Oxymitra grandifolia is lectotypified.

Gynochthodes cochinchinensis (Rubiaceae), a woody climber, is reported here as a new addition to Indian flora from Similipal Biosphere Reserve, Odisha.  The species resembles its closely allied taxon Gynochthodes umbellata, but can be distinguished from it by a number of distinct morphological characters. A detailed description, notes on habitat, ecology and distribution are provided in this paper with color photographs for easy identification.

Set Up

The proliferation of climbers can have deleterious effects on tree regeneration, especially in forest canopy gaps where climbers increase in abundance. In response to the colonization by climbers, the supporting tree can suffer a reduction in growth and its allometric relationships may be modified. We evaluated the effects of three species of climber on the performance of the pioneer tree Ceiba pentandra in a moist semi-deciduous tropical forest in Ghana. In each of three gaps, four plots were set up, each with eight Ceiba seedlings paired with a single plant of one of three climber species, planted within 5–10 cm of the tree seedling, plus a control (no climber). The climber species were: Centrosema pubescens, a nitrogen-fixing woody climber; Combretum racemosum, a woody climber and Dioscorea praehensilis, an herbaceous climber. After 12 mo, Centrosema and Combretum had about four to five times more biomass than Ceiba seedlings. There was no effect of climber competition on Ceiba biomass growth, and no relationship between climber biomass and Ceiba growth rate. Individual climber species, however, had other effects: Combretum caused a significant reduction in the height and diameter growth of Ceiba, whilst competition with Centrosema was associated with significant reduction in the crown area and increase in internode length in Ceiba. The results indicate that even very different climber species appear to cause negative effects on trees during regeneration.

Woody Climber

In Ephedra campylopoda, a woody climber of the Ephedraceae (Gnetales), the secondary xylem of the upper and lower sides of horizontal stems has the same structure. However, cambial activity in the lower side is greater, producing 1.5 times more xylem and 1.25 times more growth rings in thin stems and 1.8 times more xylem in thick stems. Gelatinous fibres are not formed in the upper side or elsewhere in the xylem. I suggest that this difference in cambial activity does not change the flexibility of the stems, an important adaptation for a climber.

This paper presents observations on the population size and conservation status of Derris scandens var. saharanpurensis (Fabaceae), a woody climber endemic to Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India.  The surveys were made in Saharanpur forest division, which forms the type locality of this variety.  On the basis of field observations this taxon is recommended for IUCN criteria of Critically Endangered [CR B1ab(iii,v)+2ab(iii,v)+2c(iv); C2a(i); D].
