2022Alibris.0046279Natural History Publications Borneo. 2022. Trade paperback. New. 333 p. Includes: illustrations index bibliography. . This guide covers the edible fruits and nuts found in markets tamus and roadside stalls in Borneo that are now both cultivated or collected from their forest habitats. It does not cover the many imported fruits that are also sold though many of these are also now cultivated in the Borneo States. These cultivated species are found in back-yards in towns and villages in small orchards on small to large farms to those planted in and around the villages. In rural communities many of the wild species in the surrounding lands or forests that are in known localities are protected from being felled by the local community and the fruits when harvested are shared or sold in the markets. Even in protected forests nuts such as the chestnuts berangan in hill forest are also collected for sale in local markets or consumed and only recently is their commercial potential being realised and they are being brought into cultivation. In the past sadly when wild fruits which were sweet and juicy were found in the forest the trees were felled for ease of harvesting such as wild rambutans and pulasans which has meant that a lot of promising germplasm was lost and mainly trees with sour fruits is what is left. Also with all the recent development of commercial crops such as oil palm over the last five decades vast areas of lowland forests have been cleared and the diversity of fruits subsequently reduced. This is of particular importance since Borneo has been found to be a centre of diversity for a whole range of edible fruits and nuts such as durians mangoes mangosteens rambutans tampoi Baccaurea chestnuts figs and Xanthophyllum. This diversity gives the potential for breeding and selection of new varieties. Natural History Publications (Borneo) paperback
2019Alibris.0044009Natural History Publications Borneo. 2019. Hard cover. New in new dust jacket. 296 p. Includes: illustrations index bibliography. . The edible wild fruits nuts and seeds of Borneo that are found in the different forests from coastal seashores and islands through the lowlands and hills to the montane forests and on different soils are estimated to be in the region of 500 different species. These were consumed by the many groups of people inhabiting the island over many decades. They were the ones who had initially discovered whether different fruits nuts and seeds were edible and that some otherwise toxic species become edible only after cooking or fermentation processes. Botanists and taxonomists have subsequently provided the scientific names for these plants and classified most of them into their respective families and genera. However there are still new species being discovered in what are some of the most species-rich forests in the world and for many genera Borneo is their centre of diversity. Many species are rare and little known and over 30% of plant species are endemic to Borneo. The lowland forests are particularly rich with most of the species being trees but treelets shrubs and herbs also have species with edible fruits. This guide mostly introduces the better-known species but to showcase this diversity some examples of rare or little-known species are also included resulting in a total of 34 families 55 genera and 109 species being illustrated. Many of the lowland forests have now been cleared for the development of agriculture forest plantations towns and roads and the diversity of varieties of some species has become greatly reduced. Though some germplasm has been conserved in agricultural stations and research facilities much more needs to be done so that those species with good commercial potential can be selected and bred as future crops for farmers. Some species have already been researched and selected clones made available but there are still many more with good horticultural potential. Natural History Publications (Borneo) hardcover
