During studies on family Mniaceae in India, plants of Orthomnion javense Koponen have been recognized which is a new record for India and East Nepal, earlier it was known from China, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Papua New Guinea, Philippines and Vietnam. O. javense is characterized by its fragile leaves, costa ending below the leaf apex, 1–3 cells wide border extending near leaf apex. Morpho–taxonomic details of Indian plants of O. javense and paratype (NICH 2130; E. Nepal) of O. noguchii Koponen (identified as O. javense) are provided.

Discovery Research

Updated data is an essential requirement for carrying out research, planning, and policy briefs. The Coral reef triangle region is one of the areas with the highest diversity of marine biota and the discovery of new species in this area are increasing every year, much of this information is already available. However, most of the data is not available per region and is still scattered. This study aims to create a checklist and assessment of new species and a new record of fishes from this region over the last ten years based on several aspects, including species composition, pattern of distribution, endemicity, and depth using every source of the report and secondary literature data. The current new species and a new record of fish in the last decades combined consists of 360 species (268 new species and 92 new records). The most speciose group of family dominated by Gobiidae (93), followed by Labridae, Pomacentridae and Serranidae (18), Apogonidae (17), Dasyatidae (15), and the rest were ranged from 1-9 species per family. More than half of new species and new records are found in Indonesia, followed by the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Island. The result shows that cryptobenthic Families especially Gobiidae from genus Trimma and eviota are dominated the trend of new species and new record discovery and it is expected to rise over time while there will also be an emergence of some possibly new endemic species from major and rare families from the eastern part of Indonesia (West Papua and Papua New Guinea). Thus, the eastern part of Indonesia (Papua, Maluku, Aru Sea, and Papua New Guinea) and the northern part of Indonesia (North Sulawesi and Philippine) are suitable for exploration for marine biodiversity discovery research in the future.

Abstract Colura crenulata Grolle (Lejeuneaceae), a rare and poorly known species from Papua New Guinea, Sumatra and Borneo, was newly discovered in tropical montane forests in southern Thailand. It is characterized by its acutely mamillose lobule sac and perianth; apical crest of the lobule sac consisting of 1-5 cells; large valve composed of 18-21 hyaline margin cells and 20-29 median cells, with a single median basal cell; and nearly entire dorsal margin of the leaf. This species is described and illustrated in detail, and its diagnostic characters and a comparison with the related species are briefly treated.

Rekaman Baru Chloothamnus Buse (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) dari Pulau Sumbawa dan Catatan Tentang Marganya di Malesia. Floribunda 6(4): 127–132. — Dari hasil eksplorasi yang dilakukan di P. Sumbawa ditemukan jenis Chloothamnus schmutzii yang semula dilaporkan hanya tumbuh di daerah Manggarai, P. Flores. Dengan ditemukannya jenis ini membuktikan bahwa Sumbawa mempunyai hubungan erat secara geografi dengan daratan Flores Barat. Pertelaan jenis C. schmutzii disiapkan untuk melengkapi pertelaan jenisnya yang waktu dipertelakan tidak lengkap. Foto pelepah buluh spesimen C. schmutzii disajikan. Secara keseluruhan, terdapat 11 jenis Chloothamnus di Malesia (delapan di Papua New Guinea, dua di Kepulauan Sunda Kecil, satu di Jawa). I Putu Gede P. Damayanto, Ida Bagus K.

Floribunda 6(4): 127–132. — From the exploration occurred at Sumbawa Island, it was found that Chloothamnus schmutzii which was reported only found in Manggarai District, Flores Island. Through the discovery of this species proves that Sumbawa has close relationship geography with the West Flores mainland. The description of C. schmutzii is presented to fulfil the species description which was not completed when it is described. The photograph of culm-sheath of C. schmutzii specimen is presented. Overall, there are 11 species of Chloothamnus in Malesia (eight in Papua New Guinea, two in the Lesser Sunda Islands, one in Java).
