“…There are a few occurrences in Myanmar (Shan; distribution in other states requires clarification), Vietnam (mainly the southern part of the country -Long An Province, Dong Thap Province etc., Hanoi) and Laos (distribution pattern requires cla ri fi ca tion) (Cook & Lüönd 1982, Haynes 2001, Kress at al. 2003, Newman 2007, Ito & Barfod 2014, Appendix 1: IUCN 2019, GBIF 2019). There is no reliable data on occurencies in Cambodia.…”

The genus Hydrocharis L. includes three geographically isolated species. Analysis of the actual data (32 thousand geographical locations and 1946 herbarium sheets) covering the period 1765–2019 made it possible to clarify the nature of the distri- bution of these species and its changes. Hydrocharis morsus-ranae L. has disjunctive Eurasian – North American temperate range, with a massive North American en- clave, the formation of which began in the 1930–1940s. The range of Hydrocharis dubia (Blume) Backer is disjunctive Southeast Asian – Australian subboreal-tropical, Australia enclave began forming in the 1850–1870s. Hydrocharis chevalieri (De Wild.) Dandy is a macrothermal Central African equatorial endemic. Current threat status of all species may be estimated as Least Concern. The mean annual temperature is the most contrasting feature of the distribution areas of the species, water depth, bottom soil type and hydrochemical composition have lower impact. Prognostic models of the potential distribution of the tagged species have been made.

“…Efforts to build natural history collections have increased in recent years (Ito & Barfod 2014) and remote sensing studies of forest cover provide overviews of change for a select few ecosystem types, such as broadly defined tropical forests and mangroves (Songer et al 2009;Webb et al 2014;De Alban et al 2018;De Alban et al 2020). Local descriptive studies of ecosystems are also beginning to emerge (Oo & Koike 2015;Khaing et al 2019).…”

Myanmar is highly biodiverse, with more than 16,000 plant, 314 mammal, 1131 bird, 293 reptile, and 139 amphibian species. Supporting this biodiversity is a variety of natural ecosystems-mostly undescribed-including tropical and subtropical forests, savannas, seasonally inundated wetlands, extensive shoreline and tidal systems, and alpine ecosystems. Although Myanmar contains some of the largest intact natural ecosystems in Southeast Asia, remaining ecosystems are under threat from accelerating land use intensification and over-exploitation. In this period of rapid change, a systematic risk assessment is urgently needed to estimate the extent and magnitude of human impacts and identify ecosystems most at risk to help guide strategic conservation action. Here we provide the first comprehensive conservation assessment of Myanmar's natural terrestrial ecosystems using the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems categories and criteria. We identified 64 ecosystem types for the assessment, and used models of ecosystem distributions and syntheses of existing data to estimate declines in distribution, range size, and functioning of each ecosystem. We found that more than a third (36.9%) of Myanmar's area has been converted to anthropogenic ecosystems over the last 2-3 centuries, leaving nearly half of Myanmar's ecosystems threatened (29 of 64 ecosystems). A quarter of Myanmar's ecosystems were identified as Data Deficient, reflecting a paucity of studies and an urgency for future research. Our results show that, with nearly two-thirds of Myanmar still covered in natural ecosystems, there is a crucial opportunity to develop a comprehensive protected area network that sufficiently represents Myanmar's terrestrial ecosystem diversity.

“…1A). Ito & Barfod (2014), in their preliminary checklist of aquatic plants of Myanmar and Thailand, treated this specimen under the wider concept of N. indica (Willd.) Cham., that includes N. kingii (de Wilde, 1962), but here I follow Triest's (1988) and Cook's (1996) concept of N. kingii, in which this species is distinguished from N. indica in leaf sheath morphology.…”
