“…Publications on the existence of Gleicheniaceae species were only available from studies on fern diversity in general, and not only focused on this family. The records on small number of Gleicheniaceae species were found from exploration studies in Enggano Island (Wardani and Adjie 2017), in Siberut National Park, West Sumatra (Mildawati et al 2020), in five mountains in West Java (Suryana et al 2020), and in Mount Gede Pangrango National Park, West Java (Andriyani and Nurza 2021). The objective of this study was to reveal the species diversity of the members of Gleicheniaceae in the Rokan Hulu, Riau.…”

Abstract. Marpaung AA, Susandarini R. 2021. Variation on morphology and spore characters of Dicranopteris and Sticherus (Gleicheniaceae) from Rokan Hulu District, Riau. Biodiversitas 22: 4475-4486. Dicranopteris and Sticherus are genera in the family Gleicheniaceae which have unique habits and distinctively specific growth with the presence of a bud on the forking branches. This study aims to reveal the species diversity of Gleicheniaceae members found in the forest area of Bukit Suligi Tandun, Rokan Hulu District, Riau and to document variations in their morphological characters and spores. Eleven collections were obtained from the exploration in the study area. The identification of plant specimens showed that these eleven taxa consisted of Dicranopteris curranii, Dicranopteris speciosa, seven varieties of Dicranopteris linearis, and two varieties of Sticherus truncatus. Seven varieties within D. linearis were D. linearis var. linearis, D. linearis var. alternans, D. linearis var. altissima, D. linearis var. demota, D. linearis var. inaequalis, D. linearis var. subspeciosa, and D. linearis var. tetraphylla. The only one species of Sticherus found was S. truncatus which consisted of two varieties, namely S. truncatus var. truncata and S. truncatus var. involuta. Morphological characters were observed from fertile specimens, while spore characters were observed from spore microscopic slides prepared using acetolysis method. There were 42 morphological characters and spores examined and used as the basis for determining the phenetic relationships using cluster analysis and principal component analysis. The results of cluster analysis showed the formation of two clusters that clearly separated the genus Sticherus from Dicranopteris. The three species of Dicranopteris were also clearly separated from each other in different sub-clusters. The result of principal component analysis indicated characters that contribute to the grouping of the eleven taxa and was able to explain the distinguishing characters in each group recognized from the cluster analysis. Overall, the results of this study contributed to documenting in detail the morphological variations in sporophyte and spore characters in eleven taxa of Dicranopetris and Sticherus, as well as proving the role of morphological and spore characters in the classification and defining phenetic relationships using numerical taxonomic approach.

“…Research conducted by Suryana et al (2020) found as many as 83 species of ferns from 25 families in five different mountains located in West Java, including Mount Patuha, Papandayan, Tangkuban Perahu, Pangrango, and Guntur. Another research was conducted by Sianturi et al (2021) in three plains located in Central Java which found 15 species of ferns from 8 families in the lowlands, specifically in the Pagerwunung Nature Reserve.…”

Ferns are significantly dominant in Indonesia. The waterfall area is one of the ferns habitats. This study aims to determine the diversity index of ferns species in the Tourism Area of Sekar Pudak Sari Waterfall Wonosalam District, Jombang Regency, East Java. This research was exploratory, descriptive. Data collection uses a single plot measuring 20x20 m at 500 masl, 700 masl, and 900 masl. Each observation plot has a sub-plot with a size of 2x2 m. Data analysis used the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'), the taxonomic diversity index (Δ), and dominance (Δ*). The exploration results found 28 species from 11 families, 6 epiphytes, and the rest terrestrial. The taxonomic diversity index in plot 1 was 23.36 (low category), while plots 2 and 3 were 30.58 and 31.66 (medium category). This shows that the environment in the three plots is classified as stable, as indicated by the presence of ferns at various taxonomic levels. The highest dominance diversity index (Δ*) was 2.8 in Plot 2, while Plots 1 and 3 were 2.7 (low category). The total number of individual ferns found influenced the difference in the diversity index. The ferns found in the three plots were relatively few, indicating that the environment was classified as less stable. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H') in the three plots was 2.9 (medium category), indicating that the distribution pattern of ferns in the environment was balanced. The Sekar Pudak Sari Waterfall Tourism Area is a suitable habitat for the growth of ferns, so conservation efforts need to be made to maintain a balance of species and stabilize the ecosystem.
