PLANTS OF THE MALAYSIAN REGION

(TUMBUHAN DISEKITAR MALAYSIA)

Introduction (Pengenalan)

The Flora of Malaysia is rich and varied. Plants of a certain type are rearly confined to a small area. They do not recognise a country's boundaries. Thus plants of Malaysia may also be found in its neighbouring regions of Southern Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore. Because of the large varieties of Malaysian plants, only a very small selection of the plants can be given here.

Malaysia mempunyai kekayaan Flora yang beranika jenis. Sesejenis pokok biasanya tidak terhad kepada sesuatu kawasan kecil. Mereka tidak mengenal sempatan sesuatu negara. Oleh kerana ini tumbuhan Malaysia boleh didapati di kawasan jirannya iaitu Negeri Thai Selatan, Indonesia dan Singapura. Oleh sebab begitu banyaknya jenis tumbuhan di Malaysia, hanya sebahagian kecil tumbuhan tempatan dapat diberi di sini.


The wild spinach, a plant that can be found through out South East Asia.
Bayam duri, sejenis pokok yang boleh dijumpai di seluruh Asia Tenggala.


To be able to recognise and to name plants we need to know something about the external forms of their various parts. Plants as a whole can be divided into two main groups. One group is the flowering plants such as grasses, orchids, lantana and balsam. The second group is the non flowering plants such as conifers, ferns, mosses and fungi.

Untuk menengelkan dan menamakan tumbuhan, kita halus tahu sedikit bekenaan ciri-ciri luar bahagian-bahagian pokok itu. Semua tumbuhan boleh dibahagikan kepada dua kumpulan besar. Satu kumpulan adalah pokok-pokok berbunga seperti rumput, orkid, lantana dan keembong. Kumpulan kedua adalah tumbuhan tidak berbunga seperti pokok krismas, paku-pakis, lumut dan kulat.

The flowering plants can again be divided into two main groups. One group is the monocotyledonous plants. The other groups are the dicotyledonous plants. Dicotyledonous plants usually have leaves with net liked veins, their seeds are made of two halves and they have tap roots (a large central root). Monocotyledonous plants usually have leaves with parallel veins, their seed is of a single seedleaf and they have fibrous roots (their roots are nearly of the same size). The non flowering plants can be divided into five main groups namely the gymnosperms, the ferns, the mosses, the fungi and mushrooms, and the algae and sea weeds.

Pokok berbunga sekali lagi boleh dibahagikan kepada dua kumpulan beasr. Satu kumpulan adalah pokok monokot. Kumpulan yang satu lagi adalah pokok dikot. Daun pokok dikot biasanya ada urat yang menjalar, bijinya adalah dua belah, dan mereka ada akar tunjang (akar besar). Daun pokok monokot biasanya ada urat yang selari, biji nya tidak dapat dibelahkan dan akarnya selari (lebihkurang sama besar). Tumbuhan tidak berbunga boleh dibahagikan kepada empat kumpulan utama seperti jimnospermae, paku-pakis, lumut, kulat dan cendawan serta algae dan rumput laut.

Some examples of dicotyledonous plants are the Acanthia Family, Spinach family, Annona family, Allamanda family, Balsam family, Sun Flowers family, Cucumber family, Mint family, Bean family, Hibiscus family, Bougainvillea family, Passion flower family, Rose family, Ixora family, Lantana family etc. Some examples of monocotyledonous plants are the Onion family, Yam family, Pineapple family, Canna family, Grass family, Lily family, Banana family, Orchid family, Palm family, Pandanus family, Ginger family etc.

Contoh-contoh tumbuhan dikot adalah keluarga Akanthia, keluarga Bayam, keluarga Nona, keluarga Alamanda, keluarga Keembong, keluarga Bunga Matahari, keluarga Timun, keluarga Pudina, keluarga Kekacang, keluarga Bunga Raya, keluarga Bunga Kertas, keluarga Buah Susu, keluarga Ros, keluarga Jejarum, keluarga Lantana dll. Beberapa contoh tumbuhan monokot adalah keluarga Bawang, keluarga Keladi, keluarga Nanas, keluarga Kana, keluarga Rumput, keluarga Lili, keluarga Pisang, keluarga Orkid, keluarga Palma, keluarga Pandan, keluarga Helia dll.


For the purpose of study, plants may also be divided in a less scientific manner. Thus they can be divided into wild dicot plants, wild monocot plants and garden dicot plants and garden monocot plants. These plants may also be subdivided according to their size and growing habits such as trees, shrubs, herbacious plants; or characteristics such as aquatic dicot plants, aquatic monocot plants, climbing plants, fragrant dicot plants, fragrant monocot plants; or according to uses such as dicot spices, monocot spices, plants of medicinal value, fruit crops, vegetables, plants that can be eaten raw, and non flowering plants like gymnospem plants, ferns, fungi and mushroms, etc.

Untuk tujuan kajian, tumbuhan juga boleh dibahagikan dengan cara yang kurang saintifik. Demikian mereka boleh di bahagikan kepada tumbuhan dikot liar, tumbuhan monokot liar dan tumbuhan dikot taman, tumbuhan monokot taman. Tumbuhan-tumbuhan ini boleh juga dibahagikan lagi mengikut saiz dan cara mereka membiak seperti pohon, pokok renik, pokok herba; atau ciri-ciri utama seperti tumbuhan dikot air, tumbuhan monokot air, tumbuhan memanjat, tumbuhan dikot harum, tumbuhan monokot harum, atau mengikut kegunaannya seperti tumbuhan rumpah dikot, tumbuhan rumpah monokot, tumbuhan ubatan, pokok buah-buahan, sayur-sayuran, tunbuhan ulam, dan juga tumbuhan tidak berbunga seperti tumbuhan jimnospemae, paku pakis, kulat dan cendawan, dan lain-lain lagi.
