INTRODUCTION
Freycinetia is a genus of approximately 300 spe-
cies. The genus has its profound diversity in the
Malesiana floristic region with about 160 species
currently recognised (Stone, 1982; 1983), in which
about 10 species are found in the Moluccas espe-
cially the Halmahera Island as shown by the collec-
tions made by Teysmann and de Vriese during their
exploration to the archipelago from 1859 to 1860
(Teysmann, 1861a; 1861b; 1877a; 1877b). Beccari
also made some collections during his three explo-
rations to the islands, especially Seram Island in
1873, 1876, and 1878 (Beccari, 1924; Solms, 1878).
Warburg (1900) started the systematic studies on
the pandan flora of the Moluccas followed by Mar-
telli (1910; 1913) and Stone (1962; 1970). The lat-
est work was made by Keim et al. (2008) and Call-
mander (2013, pers. comm.). However, despite the
explorations, fairly large collections and those pre-
vious studies, the pandan flora of the Moluccas is
still largely unknown particularly for Tidore Island
as there has been no addition to the pandan flora of
the island since the first mention by Rumphius
(1743). This current study is aimed to unveil the
pandan flora of this long botanically forgotten is-
land and started by the discovery of a new species
A NEW SPECIES OF FREYCINETIA GAUDICH. (PANDANACEAE;
FREYCINETOIDEAE) FROM TIDORE ISLAND, MOLUCCAS, INDONESIA.

ABSTRACT
KEIM, A. P. 2013. –– A new species of Freycinetia Gaudich. (Pandanaceae; Freycinetoideae) from Tidore Island, Mo-
luccas, Indonesia. Reinwardtia 13(5): 441–444. Freycinetia tidorensis A.P. Keim is newly described from Tidore Is-
land, Moluccas. This new species is morphologically similar to F. devriesei Solms but differs in the number of stig-
matic remains. In F. devriesei the number is 3 to 6, never less than 3; whereas in Freycinetia tidorensis 1 to 2, never
more than 2.
Key words: Freycinetia, Freycinetoideae, Moluccas, Pandanaceae, Tidore.
ABSTRAK
KEIM, A. P. 2013. –– Jenis baru Freycinetia Gaudich. (Pandanaceae; Freycinetoideae) dari Pulau Tidore, Maluku, In-
donesia. Reinwardtia 13(5): 441–444. Jenis baru Freycinetia tidorensis A.P. Keim dari Pulau Tidore, Maluku diper-
telakan. Jenis baru ini mirip secara morfologi dengan F. devriesei Solms, namun berbeda pada jumlah tinggalan kepala
putiknya. Pada F. devriesei jumlahnya 3 hingga 6, tidak pernah kurang dari 3; sementara pada F. tidorensis 1 hingga 2,
tidak pernah lebih dari 2.
Kata kunci: Freycinetia, Freycinetoideae, Maluku, Pandanaceae, Tidore.

Fig. 1. Freycinetia tidorensis A.P. Keim. General habit of the isotype (H.J. Lam 3763 kept at BO). Unfortunately, the
specimen is fairly destroyed, particularly the cephalium. Nevertheless it shows the terminal triad infructescence. In this
current publication the cephalium is thus observed through the photos taken from the holotype kept at L. (Source: A.P.
Keim).

Fig. 2. A. Infructescence from the holotype (H.J. Lam 3763, L) shows cephalium composed of rostrate berries, in
which each berry mostly with 1 stigmatic remains; B. Fragment of cephalium from the holotype (H.J. Lam 3763, L)
shows the apical part of berries with mostly 1 to 2 stigmatic remains. Scale bar = 5 mm. (Source of Figs. 2A & B: J.F.

rostrate; stigmatic remains 1–2; seed elongate, 1.2
mm long, 0.2 mm wide, light creamy white.
Distribution. Endemic.
Habitat. Lowland tropical rainforest at around 700
m altitude.
Etymology. The epithet refers to Tidore, the island
where the type was collected.
Vernacular name. „Gufoa‟ (Tidore).
Uses. Not recorded.
Notes. The type of F. devriesei was collected from
Halmahera Island in the Moluccas (Solms, 1878;
Warburg, 1900) and since that it was the only spe-
cies with rostrate berries known in the Moluccas.
The two other species with rostrate berries are F.
micrura (Stone, 1983), which is in Sulawesi, and
the Philippine F. rostrata, which has been placed
into synonym of F. devriesei by Stone (1969, the
placement of F. rostrata into synonymy is beyond
the scope of this paper; thus will not described fur-
ther). The result of this current study indicates that
there is another taxon from Tidore Island with ros-
trate berries. Despite outstandingly similarity in
general appearances, nevertheless the taxon from
Tidore Island straightforwardly differs from F.
devriesei in the number of stigmas. The number of
stigmas in F. devriesei varies from 3 to 6, never less
than 3; whereas in the taxon from Tidore the num-
ber varies from 1 to 2, never more than 2 (Figures 2
& 3). Thus the taxon from Tidore is proposed here
as a new distinct species, F. tidorensis.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The author would like to express his deepest gratitude to
Dr. Jan Friets Veldkamp from the Netherlands Centre for
Biodiversity Naturalis, section National Herbarium of
The Netherlands, Leiden University, Leiden, for the pho-
tos of cephalia and seeds. The author‟s appreciations are
also sent to his colleagues Drs. Kuswata Kartawinata and
Andria Agusta for encouraging the author to propose this
taxon as a new species.
