BS_DG_3_98_A-Bridelia_stipularis
Bridelia stipularis, collected from plot 3 in the Danau Girang Field Centre by J.M, J.LR, H.S, T.G, N.P and J.W on 14/09/14.
Plot 3 contains semi-inundated forest, GPS position 5,245233 ; 118,022547. Semi-inundated forest tends to have low tree diversity with little undergrowth however lianas are often abundant. This forest type is characterized by periods of inundation between 3 and 6 months.
The Family Phyllanthaceae, formerly a subfamily of the Euphorbiaceae, contains 58 genera and 2,099 species. The family is found mostly in the tropics but also in temperate zones. Most species have alternate, simple, eglandular leaves with pinnate venation and entire margins, simple indumentum, and small actinomorphic flowers. Examples: Andrachne, Leptopus, Phyllanthopsis and Baccaurea – wood used in ikat dyeing in Bali. (Mabberly, 2008), (Vorontsova et al, 2007).
Bridelia stipularis
Plots: 8-9 KOCP (riparian Kinabatangan edge), 12-2 DG (semi-inundated), 13-3 DG (semi-inundated).
Description: woody climbers or shrubs, rarely small trees.
Ecology: primary or secondary forest, riverside shrub, 100-1500m alt.
Uses: roots used as medicine to reduce inflammation, astringent antidiarrheal, fruits induce vomiting as antitoxic (eflora China).
Synonyms: B. dasycalyx, B. dasycalyx var. aridicola, B. montana, B. scandens, B. stipularis var. ciliata, B. stipularis subsp. philippinensis, B. zollingeri, Clutia scandens, C. stipularis, Ziziphus racemosa (Plant List, 2010)
