ABSTRAK
SURATMAN. Marga Morinda L. (Rubiaceae) di Sumatera. Dibimbing oleh SRI SUDARMIYATI TJITROSOEDIRDJO dan JOHANIS PALAR MOGEA.
Revisi mengenai marga Morinda di Sumatera pernah dilakukan oleh Miquel pada tahun 1856 dan 1862 tetapi saat ini belum ada revisi taksonomi marga ini yang dilakukan secara menyeluruh. Oleh karena itu penelitian tentang marga ini berdasarkan ciri-ciri morfologinya telah dilakukan secara mendalam, terutama untuk mengetahui jenis-jenis Morinda di Sumatera dan pola persebarannya. Analisis filogenetik juga dilakukan untuk menentukan hubungan kekerabatan di antara jenis-jenis yang ada dengan menggunakan analisis parsimoni. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa marga ini terdiri atas delapan jenis, enam jenis di antaranya telah dikenal sebelumnya yaitu M. citrifolia L., M. jackiana Korth., M. leparensis Valeton., M. rigida Miq., M. tomentosa Roth, M. umbellata L., dan dua jenis sisanya diusulkan sebagai jenis baru yaitu M. lanuginosa Suratman and M. wongiana Suratman. M. bracteata Roxb. var. latifolia Valeton juga telah diusulkan sebagai sinonim baru dari M. citrifolia L. var. bracteata (Roxb.) Hook.f. Kunci identifikasi dan pertelaan rinci untuk masing-masing taksa disajikan. Data mengenai perikehidupan alam, meliputi habitat, persebaran, kegunaan dan nama lokalnya juga ditampilkan. Jenis yang paling luas persebarannya adalah M. citrifolia, sementara itu jenis-jenis lainnya tersebar pada daerah yang terbatas. Jumlah jenis tertinggi ditemukan di Sumatera Utara dan Bangka Belitung, masing-masing terdiri atas 4 jenis. Hasil analisis filogenetik berdasarkan data morfologi menunjukkan bahwa walaupun secara umum resolusi dari pohon filogenetiknya rendah, namun Morinda tidaklah diragukan merupakan marga yang monofiletik.
ABSTRACT
SURATMAN. The Sumatran Genus Morinda L. (Rubiaceae). Under the direction of SRI SUDARMIYATI TJITROSOEDIRDJO and JOHANIS PALAR MOGEA.
The major revision of the genus Morinda for the Sumatran region was undertaken by Miquel in 1856 and 1862 but there has no comprehensive revision of the genus recently. Therefore the revision of the genus in Sumatra was done based on their morphological characters, especially to know the species of Morinda and their distribution pattern. A phylogenetic analysis was also studied to establish the relationship among the species using parsimony analysis. The present study revealed that there were eight species, six species among them were previously known as M. citrifolia L., M. jackiana Korth., M. leparensis Valeton, M. rigida Miq., M. tomentosa Roth, M. umbellata L., and two newly proposed species namely M. lanuginosa Suratman and M. wongiana Suratman. M. bracteata Roxb. var. latifolia Valeton was also proposed as the new synonym of M. citrifolia L. var. bracteata (Roxb.) Hook.f. An identification key and detailed description of the taxa were provided. The natural history data including habitat, distribution, uses and vernacular names were also presented. The most widespread species is M. citrifolia while the other species have a limited distribution. The highest number of the species is found in North Sumatra and Bangka Belitung which consist of 4 species respectively. The phylogenetic analysis based on morphological data showed that despite their poorly resolved phylogenetic tree, Morinda is undoubtedly a monophyletic genus.
