Identification | Van Steenis conducted the research in 1937 (de Wilde W.J.J.O and B.E.E. Duyfjes, 1996), dividing the plant areas in Gunung Leuser National Park in several zones, namely:
Almost the entire area of Gunung Leuser National Park is covered or dominated by Dipterocarpaceae forest in Tropical Zone. Orchid: Species of Orchid Forest in Telagah Village Gunung Leuser National Park Langkat Regency is one type of lowland rainforest in North Sumatra which based on field observations has high macroepifit diversity. This forest has tall trees and moist air that is a suitable habitat for epiphytic growth. Yulinda (2004) reported that in Tangkahan National Park, Gunung Leuser National Park, Langkat regency, there are 47 types of macroepifit belonging to 4 classes, 10 orders, 20 families, and 32 genera. The family of Orchidaceae is the most numerous family of species found in 9 species, followed by 6 species of Polypodiaceae family, 4 species Aspleniaceae family, Davalliaceae family of 2 species, Lomariopsidaceae family, Nephrolepidaceae, Zingiberaceae, Melastomataceae, and Lindsaeaceae 1 each type. The high number of species of the Orchidaceae family is probably due to abiotic factors that are appropriate for its growth and development, with temperatures of 21.3′ C still good enough for the types of orchids to grow. Pewarta (1981) states that this condition is still within the appropriate temperature range for orchid growth that is between 21-35′ C. Anwar et al. (1984) states that the orchid seeds are usually easily dispersed by squirrels or birds, quite resistant against direct sunlight, and rapid growth of seedlings. This causes the species of orchids have a wide spread. Furthermore Comber (2001) added that the family Orchidaceae in Sumatra including the most types of which there are 1111 species. According to Rifai (1993), that the number of species of orchids that live as epiphytes in mountainous wilderness trees is very large, especially from the types of Bulbophyllum. Monk et al., (2000), states that in the lower mountain forests found many epiphytic orchids, especially Corybas orchids, Corymborkis, and Malaxis. Ruhana (2003), reported that there are 25 genus (70 species) of epiphytic orchids at the Ketambe Ekosistem Leuser Research Station. It is estimated there are about 3,500 species of flora. more search needed …… |
