ABSTRACT
Minuartia nifensis Mc Neill belongs to Caryophyllaceae family.
It is distributed only on Nif Mountain. In order to prepare the
basis for the ex-situ and in-situ protection principles,
ecological data was collected as well as population size and distributon
areas were recorded in an earlier study. Present study investigates
the M. nifensis anatomically, morphologically and cytologically,
with the aim of improving the description of this endemic species
and establishing the basic information for future biosystematic
studies.
Keywords: Anatomy; karyology; morphology; pollen; seed
ABSTRAK
Minuartia nifensis Mc Neill tergolong dalam famili Caryophyllaceae.
Ia hanya tertabur di Gunung Nif. Untuk menyediakan asas bagi prinsip
perlindungan ex-situ dan in-situ, maklumat ekologi
telah dikumpul bersama saiz populasi dan kawasan taburan telah direkodkan
dalam kajian terdahulu. Kajian ini meneliti anatomi, morfologi dan
sitologi M. nifensis dengan tujuan memperbaiki huraian spesies
endemik ini dan menubuhkan maklumat asas bagi kajian biosistematik
pada masa depan.
Kata kunci: Anatomi; biji benih; debunga;
kariologi; morfologi
