Bamboo diversity of Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract

Ervianti D, Widjaja EA, Sedayu A. 2019. Bamboo diversity of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 91-109. Bamboo is one of the important plants in the world. Beside their economic important, bamboo also plays an important role in the environment for climate change. The purpose of this study was to inventory the bamboo diversity in Sulawesi. The methodology used in this study is by observing herbarium specimens kept in the Herbarium Bogoriense (BO) and field experience by the second author (EAW). The result showed that there are 39 species of 12 genera in Sulawesi, i.e. Bambusa blumeana, B. glaucophylla, B. maculata, B. multiplex, B. tuldoides, B. vulgaris, Chloothamnus sp., Dendrocalamus asper, Dinochloa albociliata, D. aopaensis, D. barbata D. cordata, D. erecta, D. hirsuta, D. morowaliensis, D. petasiensis, D. pubiramea , D. truncata, Dinochloa sp.1, Dinochloa sp.2, Dinochloa sp.3, Dinochloa sp.4, Dinochloa sp.5, Dinochloa sp.6, Dinochloa sp.7, Dinochloa sp.8, Dinochloa sp.9, Fimbribambusa sp., Gigantochloa apus, G. atroviolacea, G. atter, Neololeba atra, Phyllostachys aurea, Racemobambos celebica, Schizostachyum brachycladum, S. latifolium, S. lima, Sphaerobambos subtilis, and Thyrsostachys siamensis. Identification keys and descriptions are presented. This data reported will be used as basic information for bamboo conservation and bamboo industry.

A New Record of Chloothamnus Buse (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) From Sumbawa Island and Notes on the Genus in Malesia

“…Leafsheath auricles rounded. This species is mostly grown in ultrabasic soil and limestone in the highland forest (Ervianti et al 2019).…”

“…Only one species is found in Java, C. elegantissimus (Widjaja 2001b) and endemic to West Java (Dransfield & Widjaja 1995). In addition, actually, Ervianti et al (2019) noted that Chloothamnus also occurred in Sulawesi, particularly at Mt Mekongga, based on a specimen of Widjaja 8863 (BO!, K, L). However, this Chloothamnus is still unidentified to species level and it has been put under the Chloothamnus at the time being, due to peculiar bud character (Ervianti et al 2019).…”

According to Holttum (1955), N. elegantissimus (now C. elegantissimus) found in Java and also Sumatra.…”

Pemanfaatan Keanekaragaman Bambu Secara Hidrologis, Ekonomis, Sosial dan Pertahanan

“…Sumberdaya hutan sangat penting bagi suatu negara, salah satunya untuk meningkatkan kondisi ekonomi bangsa (Kigomo, 2007dalam Mainaki, 2015. Keberadaan sumberdaya hutan tersebut terutama di negara dengan iklim tropis, karena akan ditemukan jenis tanaman yang sangat beragam sesuai dengan beberapa hasil penelitian yang pernah dilakukan (Ervianti et al, 2019). Oleh sebab itu sumberdaya hutan harus terus dilestarikan agar dapat memberikan berbagai manfaat baik secara ekologis, sosial maupun ekonomi (Hadi, 2018).…”

“…Tanaman bambu di Indonesia cukup banyak dapat ditemui terutama di wilayah perdesaan maupun kawasan hutan (Sastrapraja, et al, 1977;Sulastiningsih & Santoso, 2012;Ervianti et al, 2019). Terutama meliputi daerah pedesaan di Pulau Jawa, Sumatera, Papua, Nusa Tenggara, Bali, Kalimantan dan Maluku.…”
