This study aims to determine the characterization of alluvial soil as a place grow Chinese betel (peperomia pellucida L.) in Ambon city. Parameters studied included morphological and description nut (Peperomia pellucid L.). The results observations field analysis samples laboratory that have been collected are used material identify characterization. Meanwhile from was selectively explored by e...

Mature leaves of well-watered Peperomia camptotricha show Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). Young leaves show CAM-cycling in which CO(2) uptake occurs during the day concomitant with a marked diurnal fluctuation of organic acids as in CAM. Evidence is presented suggesting that respiration is the source of CO(2) for nocturnal acid synthesis in leaves exhibiting CAM-cycling. Respiratory quotien...

A newly recorded family, Phrymaceae, and species, Phryma leptostachya L., from Taiwan are described and illustrated. Phryma leptostachya was found near Chienshih Hsiang, in Hsinchu Hsien. The flowers of Phryma have unusually long hooked tips on the calyx and single-seeded fruit enclosed by the persistent calyx, which accounts for its isolated taxonomic position and recognition as an independent...
