a reduction in selfing rate after hybridisation; we suggest that this is a possible explanation for the massive amount of chloroplast exchange seen in our phylogeny, as Begonia species often exist as small isolated populations and may be prone to inbreeding depression. Our data also indicate a level of nuclear genetic exchange between species. The high prevalence of hybrid events in Begonia is potentially an important factor in driving genomic change and species evolution in this mega-diverse genus.

246. Phyllanthus amarus Schum and Its Bioactivity

Author: Marina Silalahi Abstract type: Poster

Phyllantus amarus Schum (PA) is a medicinal plant that has long been used to treat kidney

disorders especially as a peluruh kidney stones. A lot of the research have been conducted to know the relationship between the uses to bioactive compounds and its bioactivity. This article is based on review of the various scientific articles, books published online and offline, then synthesized to explain of PA bioactivity. PA is a species belonging Phyllantaceae, which is very easily found in some habitats in Indonesia and considered a weed. Although PA is easy to found, the PA has also been traded by traders of medicinal plants in Kabanjahe market, North Sumatra. Ethnobotany of PA have been used to cure of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, analgesic, malaria, kidney stones, and diarrhea. PA has the filantin, hypophilantin, philanthenol, nirantin, nirurin, quercetin, routine, gallic acid, isoku citrine and fatty acids. PA has bioactivity as hepetoprotector, anti dysentery, antioxidant, anti cancer and tumor, and anti kidney stone. The use of PA as an anticancer needs to be further investigated, especially the dosage and method of its use, so that it can be used as an alternative medicine to cure cancer.

Abstract type: Poster

Odoardo Beccari (1843-1920) was a well-rounded explorer and naturalist who developed a special interest in botany and was also skilled in zoology, physical geography and ethno-anthropology. Between 1865 and 1878 he travelled along South-Eastern Asia (including Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei), up to Oceania, during three long travels, the first of which would have been told in the renowned book Wanderings in the great forests of Borneo. As a result, he brought back to Europe thousands of specimens, objects and precious information which partially changed European’s view of those far away “worlds”. The bulk of botanic collection is the “Malesian herbarium” (FI-HB) kept in Florence, consisting of 432 boundles and near 16 thousands of sheets/specimens. Many of these are the first collected in those areas at all; hundreds of them were used to described new species, by both Beccari himself or contemporary or later botanists, including many Flora Malesiana contributors. Nevertheless, this important historical and scientific heritage, an enormous amount of natural objects and data, is still largely unexplored. Taking the opportunity of the 100th Anniversary of Beccari’s death (25th October 1920), we’ve started an organic, systematic and cooperative study of the Malesian herbarium through the complete taxonomic literature review and the type tracing, or new typification, of all the names based on Beccari’s exsiccata. Our first step, the Zingiberales, represented in FI-HB by 6 families and 20 genera according to the APGIV classification (Byng & al. 2016), with more than 100 nominal taxa and 300 specimens, is near to be completed.
