Daftar Isi:
- Palm exploration (Arecaceae) in five habitat types – hilly forest, lowland forest, swampy area, mangrove and coastal forests – in Bangka Island recorded 56 species from 19 genera, namely Arenga, Areca, Calamus, Caryota, Cyrtostachys, Daemonorops, Eleiodoxa, Korthalsia, Metroxylon, Myrialevis, Licuala, Livistona, Nenga, Nypa, Oncosperma, Orania, Pinanga, Plectocomia, and Plectocomiopsis. This is about 41% of 46 palm genera recorded in Indonesia. Palm species most commonly found in hilly forest habitat, lowland forest, and rarely found in mangrove area. We found also Calamus manan. This is a species of palm that has high economic value due to flexibility and strength. Many people have cultivated this species beside Calamus oxleyanus. Eleiodoxa conferta with a yellow rind found at least in 5 populations and not far from the clump with normal fruit skin color (red) in the marsh habitat.
