Baccaurea is, in numbers, one of the most common undergrowth trees in the Malesian lowland forests. It is an ecologically and economically important genus, because of its edible fruits, timber, and medicinal usage. Distichirhops and Nothobaccaurea are new to science, and both are allied to Baccaurea. A comprehensive revision is presented for all three genera, with full taxonomic descriptions and distribution maps for all species, and analytical drawings or full colour pictures for most of the 48 species treated. General and regional identification keys are given. A phylogenetic hypothesis based on macromorphological and leaf-anatomical characters is presented for Baccaurea and Nothobaccaurea, as well as the character evolution within these genera. To reveal hidden internal branch support, a new method, called Iterative Taxon Reduction, is used. The biogeographic analyses, based on six different methods, led to a general dispersal/vicariance scenario for Baccaurea and allied genera, in which an old Gondwanan distribution pattern is shown, followed by different routes into Southeast Asia.
This book continues as volume 4 of a multi-compendium on Edible Medicinal and Non-Medicinal Plants. It covers edible fruits/seeds used fresh or processed, as vegetables, spices, stimulants, edible oils and beverages. It encompasses selected species from the following families: Fagaceae, Grossulariaceae, Hypoxidaxeae, Myrsinaceae Olacaceae, Oleaceae, Orchidaceae, Oxalidaceae, Pandanaceae, Passifloraceae, Pedaliaceae, Phyllanthaceae, Pinaceae, Piperaceae, Rosaceae and Rutaceae . This work will be of significant interest to scientists, researchers, medical practitioners, pharmacologists, ethnobotanists, horticulturists, food nutritionists, agriculturists, botanists, conservationists, lecturers, students and the general public. Topics covered include: taxonomy; common/English and vernacular names; origin and distribution; agroecology; edible plant parts and uses; botany; nutritive and pharmacological properties, medicinal uses and research findings; nonedible uses; and selected references.
Himalayan Fruits and Berries: Bioactive Compounds, Uses and Nutraceutical Potential presents nutraceutical fruits and berries from the Himalayan region and highlights their potential use in nutraceutical products. Beginning with the introduction of the Himalayan region and its wild fruits, this book explores various kinds of wild fruits and berries. It includes coverage of traditional, ethnomedicinal, and local uses of potential nutraceutical fruits and analyzes their distribution, availability, and cultivation methods. The book also provides a detailed summary of clinical studies and presents "from field to industry" case studies. Wild fruits and berries play an important role in mitigating hunger in the developing world, and these fruits are consumed either in whole or extracted for use in nutraceutical production. Nutrition researchers, food scientists, food chemists, plant scientists, pharmacologists, as well as students or researchers working in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries exploring the use of Himalayan wild berries and fruits as new components and sources in nutraceuticals will benefit from this book. - Includes coverage of the traditional, ethnomedicinal, and local uses of potential nutraceutical fruits and berries - Presents bioactive chemical constituents and nutraceutical properties of Himalayan fruits and berries - Addresses current challenges related to sustainable utilization, mass production, and the transfer from field to the industry of potential nutraceutical fruits and berries
Includes historical aspects of plant collecting on Kinabalu andenumeration of half the dicotyledons, 83 families, 430 genera and 1,575 species, subspecies and varieties.
