ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks go to AYI field staff Dody S., Emis, Harianto A., Haryanto B, Istiana, Itung, Mashadi, M.Arsyad, Ranto, Regenata, Rolianto, Rusdianoor, Sabtono, Sugito, Supiani, Wahyudianto, Wahyudinoor and Yendo for their hard work in establishing the 24 “forest, soil and ecology survey” plots (October 1999 to July 2000) and in providing a rich array of local names for trees. Other AYI staff including Ade Hidayat, Hattanudin, Midhan and Rahman Papi accompanied on field work that contributed towards preparation of the tree name list. Special thanks go to Wahyudinoor and Yendo for their constant dedication over a period of nearly two years.

Pak Mari (Dayak Lawangan), Pak Asianto (Dayak Manyan) and Pak Abdulah (Banjar) contributed more local names during surveys in July 2000.

David Boden, SCKPFP soil and forest classification specialist, contributed not only much effort in establishing the plots, but also support during difficult camping trips, as well as exhaustive discussion on tree naming.

Dr Kade Sidiyasa and Zainal Ariffin (Wanariset Samboja herbarium, East Kalimantan) and Dr Paul Kessler (Leiden & Wanariset Samboja herbaria) provided crucial advice on both scientific and local naming of trees in the AYI forest, in February and July 2000 and February-March 2001.

Dr. Kade Sidiyasa prepared the field key especially for identification of the non-dipterocarp genera of trees which occur in upper Tabalong.

Mr. Herman Wiyono, Pak Suwasis and Pak Sujarno (Barito Pacific mill, Bajarmasin) kindly discussed timber names used in the mill.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Correct identification of trees is of practical use in production forest management for various reasons, including for purposes of estimating timber production, contributing to optimum use of wood, and maximising prices obtained.

When recording forest inventory or plot data, use of “local” names for trees is normally more practical than use of scientific or timber trade names. However, local names typically involve much confusion and inconsistency.

This report provides a list of tree names recommended for use in forest inventory in the upper Tabalong area, South Kalimantan, including the AYI production forest concession area.

The names recommended derive from extensive field work and numerous discussions during the period October 1999 – March 2001, involving AYI staff, residents of upper Tabalong and experienced botanists.

Not all the names recommended were endorsed by all those people consulted. However, the goals of accuracy and consistency require that some commonly-used names be abandoned and some new names be introduced.

It is recommended that the names presented in Appendix 1 of this report be used in all future AYI inventory and research work.

The report also includes a key for identification, in the field, of the scientific genera of non-dipterocarp trees in upper Tabalong.

RINGKASAN (INDONESIAN SUMMARY) Pengidentifikasian pohon dengan nama yang tepat adalah sangat bermanfaat dalam pengelolaan hutan produksi karena beberapa alasan, termasuk untuk mempridiksi produksi kayu, kontribusi pengunaan kayu yang optimum, dan memaksimalkan harga yang diperoleh.

Pada saat melakukan inventarisasi hutan atau data plot, penggunaan nama-nama “lokal” untuk pohon biasanya lebih mudah digunakan dibandingkan menggunakan nama ilmiah atau nama perdagangan kayu. Akan tetapi, penggunaan nama-nama lokal lebih sering membingungkan dan tidak konsisten.

Laporan ini menyediakan satu daftar nama-nama pohon yang direkomendasikan untuk digunakan dalam kegiatan inventarisasi hutan di daerah hulu Tabalong, Kalimantan Selatan, termasuk di daerah HPH PT AYI.

Nama-nama yang direkomendasikan diperoleh dari kegiatan lapangan yang ekstensif dan diskusi-diskusi yang dilakukan selama periode Oktober 1999–Maret 2001, melibatkan staff AYI, penduduk di hulu Tabalong dan pengalaman para botanis.

Tidak semua nama-nama lokal yang digunakan telah disetujui oleh mereka yang telah dihubungi. Namun, sasaran dari keakuratan dan konsistensi menuntut ditinggalkannya nama-nama yang umum digunakan dan memperkenalkan nama-nama yang baru.

Disarankan agar nama-nama yang ditampilkan pada Lampiran 1 laporan ini dapat digunakan dalam kegiatan inventarisasi dan penelitian di AYI.

Suatu kunci identifikasi lapangan untuk jenis pohon-pohon non-dipterocarp di hulu Tabalong juga terlingkup dalam laporan ini.

1 Background

1.1 The value of accurate and consistent naming of trees

The use of accurate and consistent naming of trees in production forest management is beneficial for the following reasons :

- To make “permanent sample plot” data useful for estimation of wood growth and yield

- To help obtain a reliable estimate of timber production potential in a forest concession or proposed felling block

- To contribute towards achieving optimum use of, and maximum prices for, harvested timber

- To contribute information that may be required to identify sites important for conservation of rare species within a production forest area, and as part of the process of achieving certification of sustainable forest management.

1.2 The meaning of “accurate and consistent” in naming trees

When making an inventory or plot of trees in Kalimantan forests, there are three main systems by which names can be assigned to trees. One alternative is to use scientific names. The advantage is that the names will be useful worldwide. However, use of scientific names requires many years of rigorous training and experience, and is not especially useful for trade purposes. A second alternative might be to use trade names. However, not all trade names can be readily transferred for use in Kalimantan forests where there is a great variety of species. There may be one trade name for many species, and more than one trade name for one species. The third option is to use local names. This is the option used in most production forest concessions, including AYI. The problem here is that there is no precise “local name” for any one tree. In AYI, “local names” that are used reflect the experience of the person assigning the name. For example, Javanese staff tend to use national and Javanese names with some Dayak and Banjar names. Local Dayaks tend to use local Dayak names with some Javanese and Banjar names. People who have attended university or short courses may use names that they have learned at university or on courses. Many trees in Kalimantan forests, especially those that are rare or have no economic use, have no local name. In such cases, or where the identifier does not know the identity of a particular tree, the best name to use is “unknown”. Typically, however, inventory teams assign a “local” name to every tree. The results are that (a) some trees are named wrongly and (b) there is inconsistency in naming (for example, one species may be given a national name by one person and a Dayak name by another).

1.3 Tree identification key

It has been recommended by the SCKPFP short term Growth & Yield specialist (unpublished Consultant’s aide-memoire, 8/11/2000 to 5/12/2000) that tree

identification in the AYI area be based on a key to be formulated by a botanist, based on bark characteristics.

1.4 Objective of this report

The objective of this report is to provide a list of names recommended for use in the upper Tabalong area by AYI in forest inventory work, to support the goals of accuracy and consistency.

2 Methods The list of local names recommended in this report for use by AYI was compiled by the SCKPFP Ecologist, based on the following :

(a) Experience gained during the establishment of 24 “forest, soil and ecology survey” plots in the AYI forest between October 1999 – July 2000, with field staff of AYI.

(b) Discussions involving AYI field staff and experts from the Wanariset Samboja herbarium, East Kalimantan and Leiden Herbarium (Netherlands), in the AYI forest, February 2000 (Dr Paul Kessler and Zainal Ariffin), July 2000 (Dr Kade Sidiyasa and Zainal Ariffin) and February-March 2001 (Dr Kade Sidiyasa and Zainal Ariffin).

© Discussions with SCKPFP short-term specialists in soil and forest classification (David Boden) and growth and yield analyst (R B de Kock), and the report of Boden (2001).

(d) The timber name list of Barito pacific mill and discussion held with mill staff.

The unpublished tree name list of Hildebrand (1949) was also consulted.

The choice of recommended names is ultimately based on a combination of (a) retaining close similarity where possible with the array of names used already by field staff in AYI, (b) similarity with names used by the Barito Pacific mill, (c) selection of one name where previously more than one name has been used for one type of tree, (d) introduction of a name for trees which have commercial potential but for which no name or inconsistent naming was used previously in AYI, (e) use of one name for several similar trees if this will avoid further confusion, and (f) use of a national or international name where the current local AYI name is not used elsewhere.

The key for scientific genus names was compiled by Dr. Kade Sidiyasa based on his field work in the AYI forest area in 2000 and 2001.

4 Conclusion It is proposed that tree names in APPENDIX 1 should be used for all inventory, cruising and permanent sample plot work in the AYI production forest.

If a tree cannot be recognized by cruising teams, it is better to write “unknown”, and not to guess.

Tree names recommended in APPENDIX 2 may be used by AYI staff if they are able to learn these names and recognise the trees.

The field key to tree genera which occur in the upper Tabalong area (APPENDIX 3) provides an objective basis for identification where a more rigorous approach is required (for example, checking identity of specific trees in permanent sample plots or further training of research staff).

This list includes trees which are unlikely to be of commercial potential due to their rarity and/or small size and/or poor wood quality and also tree taxa listed in APPENDIX 1 which have different or more specific names at species level.

These names may be used by AYI field staff (with “Unknown” as the default if tree not recognized) but it is not necessary to use the names for routine inventory work. Status (S) N neither commercial nor in need of protected status P “traditionally” protected in PTAYI forest, or recommended for protected status
