Abstract:
Cabombaceae is a family of aquatic flowering plants found in tropical and temperate regions. It is a small family with two genera and only seven species in total. The study of Cabombaceae in Sarawak has never been reported scientifically, although there have been reports in students’ theses. This study reports the first confirmed scientific record of the Cabomba species in Sarawak. Only two species have been recorded so far in Sarawak, namely C. furcata, which has been recorded along the Selangau – Mukah road, and C. caroliniana, which has been recorded in a palm oil plantation in Sabal, marking a new record for Sarawak. With this report, knowledge about exotic and invasive plants in Sarawak is enhanced for management purposes.
