THE UNIQUE CHARACTERS AND HABITAT OF FREYCINETIA (PANDANACEAE) WITH SEVEN NEW SPECIES IN TIMIKA, WEST PAPUA, INDONESIA
ABSTRACT: The unique
characters and habitat of Freycinetia (Pandanaceae) with seven new species in
Timika, West Papua, Indonesia. Reinwardtia 13(5): 405–418. —This current study
of Freycinetia was carried out in Timika, West Papua. Results indicate that
species vary in both morphological characters and habitat preferences. Timika
is unique as only in this area species with highest number of segments in a berry
and of stigmatic remains are found. Exceptional characters regarding to auricles,
areolas, and stigmatic remains are observed in many species in this area. The
result of this current study suggests that the ability of species to adapt to the
widespread forest disturbances in Timika leads to their differences in
morphological features compare to other Papuan species. Subsequently, seven new
species are described here.
