IDENTIFICATION OF MYCOHETEROTROPHIC PLANTS (Burmanniaceae, Orchidaceae, Polygalaceae, Tiuridaceae) IN NORTH SUMATRA, INDONESIA

The majority of mycoheterotrophic herbs live in shady and humid forest. Therefore, the types of mycoheterotrophic plant are very abundant in tropical areas. One of the areas in Indonesia with the tropics is North Sumatera province. Unfortunately, the information about the species of mycoheterotrophic in North Sumatra is still limited. The objective of the research was to figure out the types of mycoheterotrophic plants in North Sumatra. The study was conducted in August until October 2019 in several areas of the Natural Resources Conservation Hall (BBKSDA) of North Sumatra province, the nature Reserve and nature Park. The research sites covered Tinggi Raja Nature Reserve, Dolok Sibual-Buali Nature Reserve, Sibolangit Tourist Park and Sicike-Cike Natural Park. In conducting sampling, the method used was through exploration or cruising method. The list of mycoheterotrophic plant species presented in this study consisted of their scientific names, synonyms, descriptions, distributions, and ecological information. A total of 9 species of mycoheterotrophic plants (4 families) in Sumatra have been found. As for the family Burmanniaceae, there are three species Burmannia championii, Burmannia lutescens, Gymnosiphon aphyllus. On the other hand, as for the Orchidaceae, there are 4 species, such as Didymoplexis pallens, Eulophia zollingeri, Galeola lindleyana, Gastrodia verrucosa while for the Poligalaceae and Tiuridaceae family, simply one type is found: Epirixanthes elongata and Sciaphila Secundiflora, respectively. Keyword: Mycoheterotrophic, Burmanniaceae, Orchidaceae, Poligalaceae, Tiuridaceae Introduction Mycoheterotrophic plants were initially found in 1866 by Odoardo Beccari, an Italian botanist at Mount Matang, Sarawak, Malaysia (Razka 2018) and were introduced by Leake (1994). The plants were known as saprophyte but they were turned into mycoheterotrophic because the meaning of saprophytes was considered less appropriate and often interpreted incorrectly (Leake 2005). Grouping the plants is on the basis of the loss of their ability to perform photosynthesis so as to acquire nutrients from soil, they need to associate with mycorrhizal. Thus, their growth is highly dependent on the rainy season which can affect the condition of light intensity, temperature, pH and soil humidity of their habitat. The condition also affects the emergence of mycoheterotrophic plants (Leake 2005). A specific morphological characteristic that can be observed is that they possess no green leaves (Muhaimin et al. 2017; Leake 1994; Merckx et al. 2013). In some recent literature, Mycoheterotrophic plants can be also called holomycotrophic plants (Campbell, 2014). Currently, Mycoheterotrophic has 17 families, 101 genera and 880 species (Merckx et al. 2013) that consists of Pteridophyta and Spermatophyta. The nail plants that associate with fungi come from the families of Lycopodiaceae, Ophioglossaceae and Psilotaceae (Muhaimin et al. 2017). Flowering Plants (Spermatophyta) consist of ten families with 89 genera. The Monochotil is Burmanniaceae, Thismiaceae, Corsiaceae, Iridaceae, Orchidaceae, Peterosoviaceae, and Triuridaceae. The Dichotil is Ericaceae, Gentianaceae and Polygalaceae. The majority of mycoheterotrophic plants live in a shady and humid forest habitat.

One of the areas with the tropics is North Sumatra province. North Sumatra is located at 1 °-4 ° N and 98 °-100 ° E, with total area of 7,981.23 km2. The boundaries of North Sumatra province are Aceh province (north), Straits of Malacca (east), Riau Province and West Sumatra (south) as well as Aceh Province and Indonesian Ocean (west). North Sumatra has a tropical wet climate with average rainfall ranging from 800-4,000 mm per year. The average sunlight illumination intensity is 43% while air humidity varies between 78%-91% (BPS 2013). Forest is a unity of ecosystem in the form of land that contains natural resources dominated by trees in the natural fellowship of the environment where one with the other cannot be separated. Forest areas are particular territories designated and/or set by the Government to be retained as a permanent forest. In North Sumatra, the area covers 3,742,120 ha or 52.20% of the entire area of the province which has an area of 7,168,000 ha (Law No. 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry). The whole forest is a conservation area. Conservation forests in Sumatra are unique to the lowlands, highlands, and mountains.

These three species are new records of mycoheterothropic plants in Bukit Barisan Forest Park, North Sumatra, Indonesia. As for the family Burmanniaceae, there are three species are discovered: Burmannia championii, Burmannia lutescens, Gymnosiphon aphyllus. On the other hand, as for the Orchidaceae, there are 4 species are discovered; namely, Didymoplexis pallens, Eulophia zollingeri, Galeola lindleyana, and Gastrodia verrucosa whereas for the Poligalaceae and Tiuridaceae family, simply one type is found: Epirixanthes elongata and Sciaphila Secundiflora, respectively.
