Identification and collection of indigenous medicinal plants in Barangay Agsalanan, Dingle, Province of Iloilo
(Central Philippine University, 2007-10)
This botanical survey was carried out to classify and identify the indigenous medicinal plants that thrive in Barangay Agsalanan, Dingle, Iloilo and assess their medicinal uses and conservation status, frequency and percentage were the only statistics used in the study. Results showed that 155 plant species are under the 137 genera and 61 families of which 31.61 %, 34.19%, 21.29%, 7.09%, 3.23%, 1.94%, and 0.65% were trees, herbs, shrubs, vines/climbers, grasses, palms, and a sedge, respectively. A relatively higher number of medicinal species belong to Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Solanaceae, Lamiacea, Poaceae and Verbenaceae families. The medicinal uses range from treatment of a simple skin irritation to a deadly tumor and human cancer. Those reported to have anti-cancer property include, among others, Kalauag (Curcuma longa Linn.), Tsaang gubat (Carmona retusa (Vohl.) Masam), Bamban (Donax cannaeformis (Forst, f.) K. Schum), Rosas de Baybayon (Catharanthus roseus L.), Pandakaki (Tabernaemontana pandacaqui Poir), Lomboy (Syzygium cuminii (L.) Skeels), Bulubito-on (Barringtonia asiatica (Linn.) Kurz.), and Niyog (Cocos nucifera L.). At least 59 (38.06 %) were found to be endangered, threatened, depleted, or vulnerable plant species. Meanwhile, 83 (53.55%) plant species have been assessed as abundant and 13 (8.39 %) were indeterminate in terms of conservation status....

Terrestrial macrophytes assessment in Camp Higher Ground, Barotac Viejo, Province of Iloilo, Philippines
(Central Philippine University, 2018-12)
This study was conducted to establish baseline data on the terrestrial macrophytes in Camp Higher Ground (CHG), Brgy. San Nicolas, Barotac Viejo, Iloilo. Specifically, this study determined the terrestrial macrophyte level of plant community diversity measured in terms of species richness, species composition, and relative abundance, and determined the conservation status of plant species in the area as a logical step in protecting the threatened species from possible extinction. The assessment was done on September 2017 – January 2018 employing the descriptive survey method. Data were collected from the 1000m<sup>2</sup> sampling area composed of 10 quadrants each measuring 10 x 10 m<sup>2</sup>. There were 123 plant species recorded that belong to 100 genera and 61 families. Results revealed that trees were 56.9%; shrubs, 13.8%; vines, 13.0%; herbs, 7.3%; ferns, 5.7%; and palms, 3.3%. Shannon-Weinner Diversity index for CHG was high (H’=3.867). Thirty-one, 31 (25.2%) macrophytes were categorized threatened. Among these, two were critically endangered: Agboi (Mussaenda philippica L.C. Rich.) and Bugauak morado (Clerodendrum quadriloculare (Blanco) Merr.). The endangered species were Duklitan (Planchonella duclitan (Blco.) Bakh. f.), Bahai (Ormosia calavensis Azaola), and Salingogon (Cratoxylum formosum Benth & Hooker). However, 30 (24.3 %) plant species were considered endemic. During the conduct of the study, some forest clearing, wood harvesting, and minor charcoal-making operations were discovered which posed threats to this natural habitat especially of threatened and endemic macrophytes. Proper conservation program should be implemented by the CHG management to prevent further biodiversity loss....
Macrofloral diversity of Bulabog-Putian Natural Park, Dingle, Iloilo, Philippines
(Silliman University, 2010-01)
Macrofloral species richness, relative density, relative abundance and diversity index of the protected forest and riverine ecosystems of Bulabog-Putian Natural Park, Dingle, Iloilo, Philippines were determined employing the modified quadrat method. There were 68 families, 170 genera, and 218 plant species listed in the entire study area of 0.16 hectare. The riverine ecosystem had a higher species richness (S=137) compared with the protected forest ecosystem (S=126). The top three major families observed in the protected forest ecosystem were Euphorbiaceae, Moraceae, and Annonaceae families and for the riverine ecosystem they were the Moraceae, Poaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Papilionaceae families. Plant genera that belong to the families Euphorbiaceae and Annonaceae dominated the protected forest ecosystem and the plant genera belonging to families Poaceae and Cyperaceae dominated the riverine ecosystem.
Relative abundance in the herb-dominated riverine ecosystem forest ecosystem with values of 43,466 and 7,007 individuals, respectively. Computed diversity index was higher in the riverine ecosystem (H’=3.30) than the protected forest ecosystem (H’=2.69), both categorized as areas of moderate level of species diversity. In the entire study area, 28 (12.84%) plant species are known to have threatened conservation status; three of these are critically endangered, namely kamagong (Diospyros philippensis Desr.) Gurke), prickly narra (Pterocarpus indicus Willd. forma Echinatus), and red lauan (Shorea negrosensis Foxw.). Endemic plant species were inventoried that need to be conserved and protected.
This study provides comprehensive baseline information on the macrofloral diversity of Bulabog-Putian Natural Park. Data gathered from this study will enhance knowledge on biodiversity for the local or national government to implement strong conservation and protection programs for the endemic and indigenous plant species in their natural habitat and to prevent biodiversity loss that may be aggravated by climate change....
