    Description: Sustainable forest management is more than limiting harvesting volume of timber in tall forest areas. Reclamation and restoration of depleted forest areas is gaining importance as areas of remaining tall forest are diminishing. Irrespective of the causal factors be it unsustainable logging, mining or forest fires, secondary forest resulting from these activities deserve special attention. In East Kalimantan a wide variety of trees has been used for reforestation of areas affected by the devastating fires of 1982- 1983. These attempts involved exotic as well as indigenous species, and results varied considerably. The 1998 fires that raged through the area sadly destroyed most of the successful trials. Gradually emphasis of reforestation has shifted towards the use of indigenous species, which are obviously well adapted to the often very harsh conditions of secondary scrub vegetation. The problem is to find and identify these good alternatives. Identifying seedlings is often very difficult, as they may differ conspicuously in their general morphology from the adult stages and many distinguishing characters are often not yet present (e.g. characters of flowers and fruits). In this manual a selection of the secondary forest tree species as encountered in various areas of East Kalimantan is presented. Circumstances resulting from the 1998 forest fires prevented a traditional approach of collecting seed from mother trees and raising seedlings under nursery conditions. Instead wildings were collected in various secondary habitats. Fruiting trees were relatively rare at the time of this study, which explains the absence of certain, less regularly fruiting, species in the book. However, this may well be considered a first selection concerning availability of planting material for reforestation purposes. Information on habitat and ecology is briefly mentioned, to give a first indication of suitability in reforestation. In December 1999 I had the opportunity to very quickly test the manual in the field in East Kalimantan. Grabbing seedlings along a roadside in badly depleted forest resulted in successful identification of the plants in over 90 percent of the material. Whereas the manual is intended for seedlings up to 6 months, identification of older plants worked remarkably well.

    A short biography of C.A. Backer, nestor of the Flora of Java (2001)
    In:  Flora Malesiana Bulletin (0071-5778) vol.12 (2001) nr.7/8 p.364
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-04-20
    Description: A facsimile reprint of the Verklarend woordenboek van wetenschappelijke plantennamen (Explanatory dictionary of scientific plant names) by C.A. Backer has been published in September, 2000. I have been asked to write an introductory note on the ‘author of this booklet’, as Backer called himself under the lemma ‘backeri’, with some of the backgrounds of the author and the origin of this monumental and unsurpassed work, of which a somewhat emended translation is given here. The following story is based on some biographies of Backer that have appeared after his death in 1963 (see References), especially that by Reinier Cornelis Bakhuizen van den Brink f. (1911-1987) and Cornelis Gijsbert Gerrit Jan van Steenis (1901-1986), but especially on the correspondence in the archives of the National Herbarium of the Netherlands, Leiden University branch, on a number of speeches kept by Backer himself, and some contemporary papers. In the necrologies written by friends and sympathizers Backer has more or less been praised up to high heaven under the slogan: ‘De mortuis nil nisi bonum’ (‘Let nothing be said of the death but what is favourable’). Nevertheless, casual remarks are made about Backer’s less pleasant qualities so that it must be feared that these have been somewhat higher than may appear from the following.

    15 June 2002, 300th anniversary of Rumphius’ death (2002)
    In:  Flora Malesiana Bulletin (0071-5778) vol.13 (2002) nr.1 p.7
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-04-20
    Description: On 15 June 2002, it will be the 300th anniversary of the death of the founder of Malesian botany, zoology, and geology, Georg Everhard Rumpf, better known as Rumphius (probably late 1627-1702). It seemed suitable to present a brief commemoration here. This being a botanical bulletin, I will mainly deal with the plants. Many articles and books even have been written about this remarkable man and the results of his exploits in the Moluccas, which have given him an everlasting place of honour in the history of natural science. He is the undisputed patriarch of Malesian botany, zoology, and geology. None has had such a wide and integrated knowledge of these sciences, and was also well-versed in pharmaceutical, architectural, juridical (local and Western), ethnological, linguistic, historical, and religious matters, including astrology and magic.

    Description: It is with great pleasure that I am able again to present a cornucopia of mixed articles on the Malesian Flora. The exhortation during the Flora Malesiana Symposium in Sydney by Baas that it is “easier to squeeze water from a stone than to get a contribution to the Bulletin” has sorted some effect. Still, it is unmistakable that much more is happening in the region than I can report.

    Mestica calappa, the Coconut pearl, trick or true? (2002)

    Description: A bibliographic study is made of Mestica calappa, the Coconut pearl. It is concluded that if pearls do grow in coconuts, they are exceedingly rare, and the ones analyzed on structure and chemical composition were fake ones.

    Description: This long-awaited volume is the last of the new Flora of New Zealand and treats 121 genera in 21 tribes with 460 species, of which 226 are introduced and 46 ‘transient’, i.e. introduced but not persisting, against 188 native ones of which not less than 157 are endemics. Most of the latter belong to the Poeae (49 + 41 others), Agrostideae (45 + 58) and Danthonieae (43 + 15) showing the present temperate nature of the grass flora. This structure of the grass flora is briefly discussed, but its origin is considered ‘unsuited to a flora’. It is a pity that no reference is given to a place where this is done, instead. Of general interest to the New Zealand Flora is the extensive literature list (‘annals’) completing the ones given in previous volumes with indices on families and additional scientific subjects. Curiously, they run up to 1996, while elsewhere (p. xxix) references as late as 1999 are indexed. M.I. Dawson contributed a survey of the chromosome numbers of indigenous species. It may be noted that for Lachnagrostis filiformis 2n = 28 and 56 have been reported, although Edgar & Connor say no chromosome numbers are known for the genus (p. xxiv).
