SEEDS PLANTS OF FIJI

nr. Nawaqabena, Naitasiri, Fuller & Doyle, SUVA) labelled 150 m. Records on the
map in Watling (2005) suggest it usually occurs below 100 m. The genus was
regarded as a Fiji endemic until the discovery of a Vanuatu species (Dowe 1996).
Clinostigma 1. 50 – 1200 m. Dense forest, crest thickets.
Cyphosperma 3. 150 – 900 m. Dense forest. One of the three species remains
undescribed (Doyle & Fuller 1998, Watling 2005).
Physokentia (incl. Goniocladus) 2. 250 – 1250 m. Dense forest, ridge forest. For
taxonomy, see Doyle & Fuller (1998) and Fuller (1999).
Heterospathe (incl. Alsmithia) 2. 100 – 600 m. Wet forest. For taxonomy, see Moore et
al. (1982) and Norup (2005). The Vanua Levu population may represent a new
species (D. Watling, pers. comm, Sept. 2005)
Hydriastele (incl. Gulubia p.p.) 2. 25 – 800 m. Forest. One species was described by
Essig (1982) and one by Baker & Loo (2004). The latter authors also revised the
generic limits.

Epipremnum 1. S.l., edges of mangrove swamps – 1100 m. Limestone.
Rhaphidophora 1. Nr. s.l. – 600 m.
Cyrtosperma 1. Nr. s.l., in wet and swampy places. Hay’s (1988) revision involves a
name change for the Fiji species.
Alocasia 1. Nr s.l. – 600 m. Smith described Alocasia and Amorphophallus as
‘probably’ aboriginal introductions. Mayo et al. (1997), followed here, accepted the
former but not the latter from Fiji.

Lemna 1. Nr. s.l. – 450 m.
Spirodela 1. Nr. s.l.
