| Summary: | This study was conducted to identify the diversity and distribution of Family Rubiaceae in Gunung Stong State Park (GSSP), Kelantan. Rubiaceae family is one of the broad and important families of flowering plants in the botanical and has potential for human, medicinal uses and other functions. This species has been found in various places in Malaysia, but in Kelantan which has only a few recorded data related to Rubiaceae. The main objective of this study is to measure the diversity and distribution of Family Rubiaceae in Gunung Stong State Park (GSSP), Kelantan using a random sampling method. It shows Rubiaceae family that was recorded at GSSP consists of 9 species with 41 individuals belonging to 6 genera. The diversity index for Family Rubiaceae was determined using Shannon Wiener -Index (H’) was calculated at 1.60 and Simpson’s Index (D) was 0.67. Species collected, recorded, and compared with several characteristics such as vegetative, flower, and fruit. Hence, the result presented was intended for the stakeholder to update the database to assist stakeholders in managing high conservation value forests (HCVF). |
