List Of Volcanoes In Indonesia
The geography of Indonesia is dominated by volcanoes that are formed due to subduction zones between the Eurasian plate and the Indo-Australian plate. Some of the volcanoes are notable for their eruptions, for instance, Krakatoa for its global effects in 1883, the Lake Toba Caldera for its supervolcanic eruption estimated to have occurred 74,000 years before present which was responsible for six years of volcanic winter, and Mount Tambora for the most violent eruption in recorded history in 1815. Volcanoes in Indonesia are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. The 150 entries in the list below are grouped into six geographical regions, four of which belong to the volcanoes of the Sunda Arc trench system. The remaining two groups are volcanoes of Halmahera, including its surrounding volcanic islands, and volcanoes of Sulawesi and the Sangihe Islands. The latter group is in one volcanic arc together with the Philippine volcanoes. The most active volcano is Mount Merapi on Java. ...

Nepenthes Rhombicaulis
''Nepenthes rhombicaulis'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra. The specific epithet ''rhombicaulis'' is formed from the Latin words ''rhombicus'', meaning "rhomboid", and ''caulis'', "stem". It refers to the cross-sectional shape of the stem internodes. Botanical history ''Nepenthes rhombicaulis'' was first collected by Shigeo Kurata on March 29, 1972, on Mount Pangulubao at an altitude of between 1700 and 1900 m above sea level. The species was mentioned by name in a 1972 issue (volume 26, number 10, page 44) of ''The Heredity''.Cheek, M.R. & M.H.P. Jebb 2001. Nepenthaceae. ''Flora Malesiana'' 15: 1–157. It was formally described by Kurata the following year in ''The Gardens' Bulletin Singapore''. One of the original specimens, ''Kurata 4300'', was designated as the holotype of the species and is deposited at the herbarium of the Nippon Dental College (NDC). An isotype is held at the National Herbarium of Singapore (SING).Clarke, C.M. 2001. ''Nepenthes of Sum ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Geography Of Indonesia
Indonesia is an archipelagic country located in Southeast Asia, lying between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It is located in a strategic location astride or along major sea lanes connecting East Asia, South Asia and Oceania. Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world. Indonesia's various regional cultures have been shaped—although not specifically determined—by centuries of complex interactions with its physical environment. Overview Indonesia is an archipelagic country extending about from east to west and from north to south. According to a geospatial survey conducted between 2007 and 2010 by National Coordinating Agency for Survey and Mapping (Bakosurtanal), Indonesia has 13,466 islands. While earlier survey conducted in 2002 by National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) stated Indonesia has 18,307 islands. According to the CIA World Factbook, there are 17,508 islands. The discrepancy between the surveys is likely caused by the earlier diffe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Natural Hybrid
In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction. Hybrids are not always intermediates between their parents (such as in blending inheritance), but can show hybrid vigor, sometimes growing larger or taller than either parent. The concept of a hybrid is interpreted differently in animal and plant breeding, where there is interest in the individual parentage. In genetics, attention is focused on the numbers of chromosomes. In taxonomy, a key question is how closely related the parent species are. Species are reproductively isolated by strong barriers to hybridisation, which include genetic and morphological differences, differing times of fertility, mating behaviors and cues, and physiological rejection of sperm cells or the developing embryo. Some act before fertilization and others after it. Similar barriers exist in plants, with differences in flowering tim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nepenthes Mikei
''Nepenthes mikei'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra. It is characterised by its black mottled lower and upper pitchers. The species is closely related to '' N. angasanensis'' and '' N. tobaica''.Clarke, C.M. 2001. ''Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. The specific epithet ''mikei'' honours Mike Hopkins, who co-discovered the species with the describing authors. Botanical history ''Nepenthes mikei'' was discovered on Mount Pangulubao in September 1989 by Bruce Salmon, Mike Hopkins, and Ricky Maulder, during a ''Nepenthes'' expedition to Sumatra. On this trip, the team also found two other undescribed ''Nepenthes'' taxa on the mountain: '' N. ovata'' and a plant they named '' N. xiphioides''.

Nepenthes Gymnamphora
''Nepenthes gymnamphora'' is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra. It has a wide altitudinal range of above sea level. There is much debate surrounding the taxonomic status of this species and the taxon, taxa ''N. pectinata'' and ''N. xiphioides''. The specific name (botany), specific epithet ''gymnamphora'' is derived from the Greek language, Greek words ''gymnos'' (naked) and ''amphoreus'' (pitcher). Taxonomy The ''N. gymnamphora'' group of related taxon, taxa has been variously interpreted as comprising a single extremely variable species (''N. gymnamphora'');McPherson, S.R. 2009.
