Introduction. The study of the validation of scientific name validation at the species and family level is not widely known. This study aimed to provide information about the process of scientific name validation at the species and family level. Data Collection Method. Data were collected from online portal databases regarding the scientific name of plant species and family. Data was analyzed in a descriptive-narrative manner. Results and Discussions. Validation of the scientific name of species and family of plants can be conducted by searching the latest publications and using the online database portals i.e. IPNI, POWO, Tropicos, The Plant List, and GBIF. IPNI and The Plant List provide more information about species names compared to others. POWO and GBIF provide the status of the plant names and complemented with photographs of the plants, specimens, and distribution maps. Tropicos provides names of families according to the latest APG IV classification. Conclusions. Validation through the online portal database is the fastest way, however, validation through the publication of the latest plant taxonomy revision publications is the most recommended. Validation can be initiated by using the online database portals and then confirmed by tracking the latest revised plant taxonomy publications.
Lichen is an associated organism between fungi and algae. The research of lichen in Indonesia still inadequate, especially on the island of Java. Gunung Halimun Salak National Park is one of conservation area in West Java. The diversity of lichen in this area has never been reported. This study aims to provide preliminary information of lichen diversity in Gunung Halimun Salak National Park. This research was conducted in October 2019. All of the lichen specimens were carried out along the main road of Gunung Halimun Salak National Park. A total of 30 species were found in this study belongs to 18 genera and 10 families. The most dominant lichen species from Graphidaceae with crustose as growth form.
The genus Pycnoporus is a member of Phylum Basidiomycota. This fungus is one of polypore genera that is easily recognized from the orange color of the fruiting body and it likely has high morphological features. Currently, there are 207 number fungal specimens kept in Herbarium Bogoriense (BO) under the genus Pycnoporus, and they were identified as P. sa-nguineus (L.) Murrill, P. cinnabarinus (Jacq.) P. Karst., and Pycnoporus sp. To ensure that those species name of the Pycnoporus collections is correct, thus this study was carried out. Re-identification process on the fungal collections was done based on macro-micromorphological features of all Pycnoporus specimens. This study revealed that species Pycnoporus collections stored in BO represent 2 species: P.sanguineus (L.) Murrill and P. puniceus (Fr.) Ryvarden. In addition, some specimens under the name P. cinnabarinus should be validated as P. puniceus. This information will be very useful for fungal taxonomists, non-taxonomists, and people who work on Pycnoporus species from Indonesia.
Bryophytes are a group of plants generally with small sizes and spores as generative reproduction. There are three main groups of Bryophytes: liverworts or hepatics (Marchantiophyta), mosses (Bryophyta), and hornworts (Anthocerophyta). They are found in almost all ecosystems. Ecopark Cibinong Science Center-Botanical Garden (CSC-BG) is a lowland ecosystem protection area located in industrial cities. The bryophytes species that were carried out in 2009 and 2010 are inadequate. Re-exploration activity was carried out from June 2018 until January 2019 in all blocks of Ecopark. This study aims to report an update of bryophytes data in Ecopark. A total of 20 species of bryophytes were found in this research. Fissidens is the most common genus of bryophytes. There are 11 species of bryophytes and 9 species are new data records for Ecopark CSC-BG. This study updated bryophyte diversity data from Ecopark CSC-BG in 2009 and 2010, resulting in the discovery of 30 species (27 species mosses, 3 species liverworts), including 10 species not found in previous studies. There are no hornworts found in Ecopark CSC-BG.
Coniocarpon cinnabarinum DC. dilaporkan untuk pertama kalinya sebagai rekaman baru dari Kepulauan Maluku dan Bali berdasarkan koleksi lapangan dan herbarium dari Halmahera dan Bali. C. cinnabarinum dicirikan oleh askokarp yang dikelilingi oleh serbuk berwarna merah; tepi talus bergaris cokelat; askus menggada dan mengavokad sungsang memanjang; askospora membundar telur sungsang dengan sekat melintang. Jenis ini mirip dengan C. fallax namun dapat dibedakan berdasarkan askokarp dan panjang askosporanya. Foto, deskripsi dan gambar garis disajikan di sini serta diberikan penjelasan taksonominya.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
