“…The current circumscription of the species is very broad and probably includes distinct lineages (Untari 2006). One distinctive morphotype which occurs in Fiji has been treated elsewhere and represents a new species, Megalospora austropacifica (Lumbsch et al 2011). , Mangold et al 2009).…”

Six species of Sphagnum are recorded for the Pacific and the origin of another, Sphagnum seemannii var. weberi supposed to come from Samoa, is questioned. Five species are rejected from the area due to recent taxonomic work. Sphagnum is only recorded from Fiji, Hawaii and New Caledonia, in addition to the questionable report from Samoa. The occurrences of Sphagnum are restricted to larger, older islands, with enough precipitation for a cloud forest type of vegetation and to those islands with high altitude crater lakes.

“…Pteridophyte is a plant group of seedless (Mir et al 2015) and spore producing plant (Lashin 2012;Barrington et al 2015;Gómez-Noguez et al 2016;Sofiyanti et al 2019b). According to Konrat et al (2011), pteridophytes refer to vascular cryptogamic plants due to the presence of vascular bundle and spore. This group consists of Lycophytes and Monilophytes (Schneider and Eric 2016).…”

Abstract. Sofiyanti N, Iriani D, Taufik I, Sari M, Irawan A, Syauqi FM. 2021. Diversity, structure and composition of pteridophyte in varying habitats in Karimun Besar Island, Riau Islands Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 4847-4856. Biodiversity of small islands, particularly in tropical region, always encourages scientific curiosity. Such curiosity is much greater when the small island of interest has been through various land use changes, such as in Karimun Besar Island. This island is one of thousand islands in Riau Islands Province, Indonesia and poses different land uses. However, studies on the biodiversity of flora in this island have not been recorded, including for pteridophyte or fern members. This study aimed to examine the diversity, floristic structure and composition of pteridophyte at six different study sites in Karimun Besar Island representing varying habitat conditions (i.e., primary forest, secondary forest, rubber plantation, road side, coastal area and mined land. The sampling was collected by using transect method to measure density, dominance and frequency. A total of 32 species of pteridophytes were recorded from the six study sites that belong to two divisions, Polypodiophyta (31 species) and Lycophyta (1 species). The number of species of pteridophyte varied across the six habitats. The highest number of species (21) was found in primary forest, while the lowest (9 species) was found in rubber plantation. The dominant species for each study site were Taenitis blechnoides (Pteridaceae) (rubber plantation), Dicranopteris linearis (Gleicheniaceae) (secondary forest), Sticherus truncates (Gleicheniaceae) (primary forest), Pteridium caudatum (Dennstaedtiaceae) (road side), Achrosticum aureum (Pteridaceae) (coastal area) and Nephrolepis hirsutula (Nephrolepidaceae) (mined land). The result of this study provides the first data of fern in Karimun Besar Island that support pivotal information on the biodiversity of small islands in tropical region.
