Two new species of Diospyros (Ebenaceae) from New Guinea.
The genus Diospyros (Ebenaceae) is highly diverse throughout Malesia, and New Guinea is thought to host c.46 species. Here we present a taxonomic treatment of a group of vegetatively similar species from the region, characterised by the large, chartaceous leaves that develop a peculiarly dark colour when dried. As a...Puglisi, C. ; Jimbo, Tiberius ; Hagwood, Austin

Challenges for Ex Situ Conservation of Wild Bananas: Seeds Collected in Papua New Guinea Have Variable Levels of Desiccation Tolerance.
Ex situ seed conservation of banana crop wild relatives (Musa spp. L.), is constrained by critical knowledge gaps in their storage and germination behaviour. Additionally, challenges in collecting seeds from wild populations impact the quality of seed collections. It is, therefore, crucial to evaluate the viability of seeds from such... -

Lepiniopsis ternatensis sap stimulates fibroblast proliferation and down regulates macrophage TNF-α secretion
The sap of the tree Lepiniopsis ternatensis is used as a topical treatment for cutaneous leg ulcers in Papua New Guinea. This study, which is the first investigation of this medicinal plant, examines the effect of the sap on wound healing biology using human-derived primary cell lines. NMR spectra from...Moses, Rachael L. ; Dally, Jordanna ; Lundy, Fionnuala T. ; Langat, Moses K. ; Kiapranis, Robert …
