“…The center of diversity of the group in Southeast Asia is in west Malesia (Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo) with more than 75% of all species (Maxwell, 1984;Kartonegoro et al, 2018Kartonegoro et al, , 2019Kartonegoro et al, , 2020. Morphologically, the tribe contains shrubs with an erect habit (Pseudodissochaeta M.P.Nayar, 5 species), epiphytes or climbers (Creochiton Blume, 12 species), and woody scramblers or climbers (Dalenia Korth., 9 species; Diplectria (Blume) Rchb., 7 species; Dissochaeta Blume, 30 species; Macrolenes Naudin, 27 species) (Kartonegoro et al, 2021). Other typical characters of this group are the swollen nodes with distinct interpetiolar lines or growth, thyrsoid inflorescences, 4-merous diplostemonous flowers with iso-or dimorphic stamens, and fleshy berries as fruits (Kartonegoro et al, 2021).…”
