The Tahitian chestnut [Inocarpus fagifer (Parkinson ex F.A.Zorn) Fosberg, Fabaceae], a neglected multi-purpose tree from the Asia–Pacific region.
The Tahitian (or Polynesian) chestnut is distributed widely in tropical South-East Asia and in the Pacific region. It is an important component in traditional agroforestry systems. However, its importance as a food plant has decreased considerably. There is no evidence that the species has ever been domesticated, nor that deliberate...Müller, Jonas V.

Taxonomy, evolutionary history, and ecological dominance of Themeda and Heteropogon.
Heteropogon and Themeda grasses are common and significant components of the C4 savannas which have recently gained more attention for conservation and biodiversity research. The two genera have been the subject of ecological research due to their widespread and dominant species H. contortus and T. themeda. Like many tropical plant...Arthan, Watchara
