WIDJAJAHerbarium Bogoriense, R & D Centre for Biology - LIPI, BogorABSTRACTA new species of Anadendrum ellipticum Widyartini & Widjaja,collected from Malay Peninsula, Kalimantan, North Sulawesi andJava proposed. This species is closely related with A. microstachyumbut it differs on the structure of leaves, perianth and filament.ABSTRAKSebuah jenis baru dari Anadendrum ellipticum Widyartini &Widjaja, dari Semenanjung Malaya, Kalimantan, Sulawesi Utara danJawa dipertelakan. Jenis ini sangat berdekatan dengan jenisAnadendrum microstachyum tetapi dibedakan dari struktur daun,daun tenda dan tangkai sarinya.Anadendrum is one of the genus of Araceae which grow widely inMalesia. According to Engler (1905) there are six species ofAnadendrum growing in Indomalaya, that is A. marginatum, A. affine,A. angustifolium, A. latifolium, A. montanum and A. cordatum. In 1898,Koorders described two species of Anadendrum from Sulawesi namelyA. montanum and A. malayanum, whereas in 1920 Backer &Alderwereld proposed A. superans and A. microstachyum from Sumatra.Mabberley (1987) estimated that there are 9 species of Anadendrum inIndomalaya.In revising Anadendrum in Malesia, the first author encounteredthat there is a number of specimens which are not identical with theknown species. After a long study on the morphological and anatomicalaspects, finally it is concluded that those specimens belong to a newspecies which we herewith name Anadendrum ellipticum.281282 REINWARDTIA [VOL. 11 1999] D.S.

It isconcentrated in India, with 15 species and 7 varieties distributed mostlyin the dry zones of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh states of thecountry. During the course of investigations since last 6 years, theauthor has come across several variants. After the detailedmorphological investigations some of these have turned out novelties.Four such novelties, two of specific status and two of varietal status, arereported in present article.1.
