Abstract:
Sarawak, being blessed with a rich flora of many different types of species, has been acknowledged as one of the most complex ecosystem in the world. Among these unique plants is the Cryptocoryne ciliata (Roxburgh) Schott, also known as “Keladi Laut” and “Bakong” (Melayu Samarahan). The C. ciliata thrived well in the brackish inner tidal zones as well as fresh water, ditches and canals. There are two varieties of C. ciliata vis. C. ciliata var. ciliata that possesses lanceolate to broad lanceolate leaf laminae and the C. ciliata var. latifolia where the leaf laminae are egg-shaped or heart-shaped. The study on these varieties was carried out along the Sungai Sarawak and Samarahan to determine the growth pattern, biomass partitioning and morphological characteristics. The photosynthetic rate of both varieties was also measured.
