TL;DR: 15 fruit morphologies are shown here to demonstrate significant phylogenetic signal and to provide clear synapomorphies for several infrageneric clades and suggest that they may be the result of adaptation to different frugivores (birds, larger non-volant animal and primate seed dispersers, respectively).

Abstract: We describe and illustrate a new species, Hanguana neglecta (Commelinales, Hanguanaceae), from the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in Singapore, one of the most heavily collected and frequently visited forests in the world. The species, growing prominently near the path at the nature reserve, was not described despite being identified as new fifteen years ago, owing to long-standing taxonomic misconceptions in Hanguana. The key to Hanguana in Peninsular Malaysia is here updated.

Abstract: The present review describes the morphological, traditional, phytochemical and pharmacological aspects of Clausena excavata ( Burm. f., Rutaceae). The plant grows wild in the tropical and subtropical parts of Asia and represents one of the richest sources of medicinal natural products. It is intensively used currently in traditional medicine for treatment of different illnesses. One part or a mixture of two or more parts of the plant in the form of powder or liquid doze is usually given to the patient. Phytochemically, many pure compounds from several secondary metabolite groups of C. excavata have been isolated from different parts of the plant including leaves, stems, stem barks, roots, root barks, rhizomes and flowers. Their chemical structures however, have been elucidated using several spectroscopic techniques. Pharmacologically, many secondary metabolites including alkaloids and coumarins have been tested for their biological activities. Anticancer, immunomodulatory, anti-HIV-1, antioxidant, antibacterialial, insecticidal, antifungal, antinociceptive, anti-malarial and antiplatelet activities of this plant have been detailed here. This paper enumerates an overview of its phytochemical and pharmacological properties, which may provide assistance to researchers to determine further, the efficacy and potency of C. excavata as medicinal plant.

Abstract: Herbarium and field study of Xylopia L. (Annonaceae) for the Flora of Peninsular Malaysia and the Flora of Thailand projects has clarified regional diversity patterns within this ecologically significant lowland rainforest genus. Two species groups represented within Southeast Asian floras are delineated, one centred on Xylopia ferruginea (Hook.f. & Thomson) Baill. and the other on Xylopia malayana Hook.f. & Thomson. In the Xylopia ferruginea group, a new species, Xylopia erythrodactyla D.M.Johnson & N.A.Murray, is distinguished from X. ferruginea, and a new combination, Xylopia sumatrana (Miq.) D.M.Johnson & N.A.Murray, is proposed, based on an earlier name for the species currently known as Xylopia stenopetala Oliv. In the Xylopia malayana group, review of the species Xylopia elliptica Maingay ex Hook.f. & Thomson resulted in the recognition of three additional species: Xylopia platycarpa D.M.Johnson & N.A.Murray, from southern Thailand and northwestern Peninsular Malaysia, Xylopia ngii D.M.Johnson & N.A.Murray, from Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo, and Xylopia heterotricha D.M.Johnson & N.A.Murray, from Sumatra and Borneo. The taxon Xylopia malayana Hook.f. & Thomson var. obscura Kochummen is placed in synonymy under Xylopia elliptica sensu stricto. Xylopia fusca Maingay ex Hook.f. & Thomson var. sessiliflora Kochummen & Whitmore is distinguished from Xylopia fusca, and raised to species status as Xylopia sessiliflora (Kochummen & Whitmore) D.M.Johnson & N.A.Murray. We recognise 23 Xylopia species in the Sundaic region of Southeast Asia, and provide evidence that additional collecting and taxonomic analysis in the region is needed.
