2017, Proceedings of Colloquium on the Dered Krian National Park – Scientific Expedition 2016. Kuching, Sarawak.
The genus Begonia is belonging to the Begoniaceae family and considered as one of the largest flowering plant families that is having numerous species in one massive genus. About 60% of described Begonia species from Borneo are recorded from the limestones and adjacent areas. This showed that the limestones habitat is the richest spot for Begonias in Borneo. Many of them are recorded from very few localities and quite a number recorded as hyper-endemic, from a single limestone hill. A comparison study on the occurrences of Begonia in the limestone habitat, however, received less attention by the ecologists. Therefore, the objective of this study is to compare the occurrence of Begonia in two limestone hills; Gunung Doya in the Dered Krian National Park (Bau limestone areas) and Gunung Payang in the Serian-Tebedu Limestone areas. The studies were conducted at the foot of limestone hills of Gunung Doya and Gunung Payang that includes microhabitats such as limestone pocket, boulder, crevices and cave mouth. The surveys were conducted in August-September 2016. A total of nine species were recorded from two localities (B. andersonii, B. congesta, B. corrugata, B. lailana, B. paoana, B. pendula, B. sarawakensis, B. speluncae), five species from Gunung Payang and six species from Gunung Doya. However, B. speluncae and B. lailaina was the only species found in both limestones hills, while the others B. andersonii, B. corrugata and B. paoana were recorded from Gunung Payang and B. congesta, B. pendula, B. rubida and B. Sarawakensis from Gunung Doya

Begonia (Begoniaceae) from limestone hills in the Kuching Division, Sarawak, Bomeo, including nine new species2007 •
Fifteen Begonia species are described from limestone hills in the Kuching Division, Sarawak, Borneo, of which nine are new: B. andersonii Kiew & S.Julia, B. burttii Kiew & S.Julia, B. chaiana Kiew & S.Julia, B. corrugata Kiew & S.Julia, B. kiamfeeii Kiew & S.Julia, B. paoana Kiew & S.Julia, B. penrissenensis Kiew & S.Julia, B. punchak Kiew & S.Julia and B. serapatensis Kiew & S.Julia. The distribution of these begonias confirms that the Bau limestone flora is phytogeographically distinct and shows that the PadawanSerian and Penrissen limestone areas also form two distinct phytogeographic areas and that there are few species shared between the three areas.

Two new species and a new record of Begonia (Begoniaceae) from Vangvieng karst limestone in central Laos2021 •
Begonia cataracta and B. voluptuaria are described as new species and B. incerta is noted as a new record for Laos. Descriptions, illustrations and photographs are provided for the new species and photographs for the new record. Preliminary conservation assessments are made for the two new species which are assessed as Vulnerable and Critically Endangered respectively.

Three New Species from Gunung Kanthan, a Limestone Tower Karst in Perak, Malaysia2014 •
Three new species, Gymnostachyum kanthanense Kiew (Acanthaceae), Meiogyne kanthanensis Ummul-Nazrah & J.P.C. Tan (Annonaceae) and Vatica kanthanensis Saw (Dipterocarpaceae), from Gunung Kanthan, Perak, are described and illustrated. All three are Critically Endangered CR B2ab (iii, iv), D1 being known from very small, restricted populations at the type locality. Gunung Kanthan is currently being quarried for cement on a large scale, which if it continues threatened all three species with extinction.

JULIA, A. S. & KIEW, R. 2014. Diversity of Begonia (Begoniaceae) in Borneo – how many species are there?. Rein-wardtia 14(1): 233 – 236. — A total of 126 species are currently named and described from Borneo (Brunei-16 species , Kalimantan – 5 species, Sabah – 41 species and Sarawak – 72 species). However, based on our survey of the begonia collection in the Sarawak Herbarium, the un-named taxa (about 110 species) significantly outnumber the 72-named species. The situation is probably the same for Sabah, so with many more new species than the 41 named ones at a conservative estimate the Sabah begonia flora can be expected to exceed 100 species. For Kalimantan (5 named species), the total number of un-named species is likely to be even higher considering that Kalimantan occupies a larger land area, its begonia-rich mountains and limestone areas are hardly collected, and the begonia flora has hardly been studied at all. We can therefore expect the begonia flora of Borneo to exceed 600 species. In view of the high level of narrow endemism (80% of species are known from a single locality), expeditions to unexplored areas are necessary to document, in particular, areas that are experiencing irreversible land-use change. Alpha-taxonomy on a large scale is needed to tackle the backlog of literally hundreds of new undescribed species. ABSTRAK JULIA, A. S. & KIEW, R. 2014. Keanekaragaman Begonia (Begoniaceae) di Borneo – Berapa jenis yang ada disana?. Reinwardtia 14(1): 233 – 236. — Sebanyak 126 jenis telah diberi nama dan dipertelakan dari Borneo (Brunei-16 jenis, Kalimantan – 5 jenis, Sabah – 41 jenis dan Sarawak – 72 jenis). Akan tetapi, berdasarkan hasil survei koleksi begonia di Herbarium Serawak, taksa yang belum diberi nama (sekitar 110 jenis) ternyata jumlahnya melebihi dari 72 jenis yang telah diberi nama. Kondisi ini diperkirakan sama dengan Sabah, dengan lebih banyak jenis baru melebihi 41 jenis yang telah diberi nama, diperkirakan jumlah begonia di Sabah lebih dari 100 jenis. Untuk Kalimantan (5 jenis yang telah diberi nama), jumlah jenis yang belum dipertelakan kemungkinan lebih besar karena Kalimantan mencakup area yang luas, pegunungan yang banyak begonia dan daerah batu kapur sangat sulit dikoleksi, sehingga jenis begonia hamper tidak dipelajari sama sekali. Diperkirakan jumlah jenis begonia di Borneo melebihi 600 jenis. Mengingat ting-ginya tingkat endemisitas (80% jenis diketahui berasal dari lokasi tunggal), ekspedisi di daerah yang belum dijamah perlu dilakukan, khususnya pada daerah yang telah mengalami alih fungsi lahan. Alpha-taksonomi pada lingkup yang luas diperlukan untuk mengatasi ratusan jenis yang belum dipertelakan.

COMPARISON ON OCCURRENCE OF MARANTACEAE FROM TWO LIMESTONE HILLS IN THE NORTHWESTERN OF SARAWAK2017 •
The Prayer Plant family or also known as Arrowroot family (Marantaceae) is a native to tropical and subtropical regions. With about 31 genera and over 550 species, is the second biggest family in the Order Zingiberales. The center of the species richness for this family is in South America. Only about 55 species reported from Asia and about 20 of them from Borneo. Although they are very common in the forest, the Marantaceae in Borneo and Sarawak particularly are poorly studied. The members of Marantaceae are found from various habitats from the lowland forests to upper hill forests, includes swampy areas and limestone, elevations up to 1700m. A comparison study on the occurrence of Marantaceae at the limestone habitat in Borneo and particularly Sarawak has never been studied. Therefore, the objective of this study is to compare the occurrence of Marantaceae in two limestone hills; Gunung Doya in the Dered Krian National Park (Bau limestone areas) and Gunung Payang in the Serian-Padawan-Tebedu Limestone areas. The studies were conducted at the foot of limestone hills of Gunung Doya and Gunung Payang that includes microhabitats such as limestone pocket, boulder, crevices and cave mouth. The surveys were conducted in August - September 2016. A total of eight species were recorded from two localities [Donax canniformis, Phrynium hirtum, P. pubinerve, P. villosulum, Phrynium sp., Stachyphrynium calcicola, Stachyphrynium sp.1 (cf. aurantiacum), Stachyphrynium sp.2], three species each from Gunung Payang and Gunung Doya. Only two species; D. canniformis and P. pubinerve, were recorded occurs in both localities.
