ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks go to AYI field staff Dody S., Emis, Harianto A., Haryanto B, Istiana,
Itung, Mashadi, M.Arsyad, Ranto, Regenata, Rolianto, Rusdianoor, Sabtono,
Sugito, Supiani, Wahyudianto, Wahyudinoor and Yendo for their hard work in
establishing the 24 “forest, soil and ecology survey” plots (October 1999 to July
2000) and in providing a rich array of local names for trees. Other AYI staff
including Ade Hidayat, Hattanudin, Midhan and Rahman Papi accompanied on
field work that contributed towards preparation of the tree name list. Special thanks
go to Wahyudinoor and Yendo for their constant dedication over a period of nearly
two years.
Pak Mari (Dayak Lawangan), Pak Asianto (Dayak Manyan) and Pak Abdulah
(Banjar) contributed more local names during surveys in July 2000.
David Boden, SCKPFP soil and forest classification specialist, contributed not only
much effort in establishing the plots, but also support during difficult camping
trips, as well as exhaustive discussion on tree naming.
Dr Kade Sidiyasa and Zainal Ariffin (Wanariset Samboja herbarium, East
Kalimantan) and Dr Paul Kessler (Leiden & Wanariset Samboja herbaria) provided
crucial advice on both scientific and local naming of trees in the AYI forest, in
February and July 2000 and February-March 2001.
Dr. Kade Sidiyasa prepared the field key especially for identification of the non-
dipterocarp genera of trees which occur in upper Tabalong.
Mr. Herman Wiyono, Pak Suwasis and Pak Sujarno (Barito Pacific mill,
Bajarmasin) kindly discussed timber names used in the mill.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Correct identification of trees is of practical use in production forest management
for various reasons, including for purposes of estimating timber production,
contributing to optimum use of wood, and maximising prices obtained.
When recording forest inventory or plot data, use of “local” names for trees is
normally more practical than use of scientific or timber trade names. However,
local names typically involve much confusion and inconsistency.
This report provides a list of tree names recommended for use in forest inventory in
the upper Tabalong area, South Kalimantan, including the AYI production forest
concession area.
The names recommended derive from extensive field work and numerous
discussions during the period October 1999 – March 2001, involving AYI staff,
residents of upper Tabalong and experienced botanists.
Not all the names recommended were endorsed by all those people consulted.
However, the goals of accuracy and consistency require that some commonly-used
names be abandoned and some new names be introduced.
It is recommended that the names presented in Appendix 1 of this report be used in
all future AYI inventory and research work.
The report also includes a key for identification, in the field, of the scientific genera
of non-dipterocarp trees in upper Tabalong.

RINGKASAN (INDONESIAN SUMMARY)
Pengidentifikasian pohon dengan nama yang tepat adalah sangat bermanfaat dalam
pengelolaan hutan produksi karena beberapa alasan, termasuk untuk mempridiksi
produksi kayu, kontribusi pengunaan kayu yang optimum, dan memaksimalkan
harga yang diperoleh.
Pada saat melakukan inventarisasi hutan atau data plot, penggunaan nama-nama
“lokal” untuk pohon biasanya lebih mudah digunakan dibandingkan menggunakan
nama ilmiah atau nama perdagangan kayu. Akan tetapi, penggunaan nama-nama
lokal lebih sering membingungkan dan tidak konsisten.
Laporan ini menyediakan satu daftar nama-nama pohon yang direkomendasikan
untuk digunakan dalam kegiatan inventarisasi hutan di daerah hulu Tabalong,
Kalimantan Selatan, termasuk di daerah HPH PT AYI.
Nama-nama yang direkomendasikan diperoleh dari kegiatan lapangan yang
ekstensif dan diskusi-diskusi yang dilakukan selama periode Oktober 1999–Maret
2001, melibatkan staff AYI, penduduk di hulu Tabalong dan pengalaman para
botanis.
Tidak semua nama-nama lokal yang digunakan telah disetujui oleh mereka yang
telah dihubungi. Namun, sasaran dari keakuratan dan konsistensi menuntut
ditinggalkannya nama-nama yang umum digunakan dan memperkenalkan nama-
nama yang baru.
Disarankan agar nama-nama yang ditampilkan pada Lampiran 1 laporan ini dapat
digunakan dalam kegiatan inventarisasi dan penelitian di AYI.
Suatu kunci identifikasi lapangan untuk jenis pohon-pohon non-dipterocarp di hulu
Tabalong juga terlingkup dalam laporan ini.

1 Background
1.1 The value of accurate and consistent naming of trees
The use of accurate and consistent naming of trees in production forest
management is beneficial for the following reasons :
- To make “permanent sample plot” data useful for estimation of wood growth
and yield
- To help obtain a reliable estimate of timber production potential in a forest
concession or proposed felling block
- To contribute towards achieving optimum use of, and maximum prices for,
harvested timber
- To contribute information that may be required to identify sites important for
conservation of rare species within a production forest area, and as part of the
process of achieving certification of sustainable forest management.
1.2 The meaning of “accurate and consistent” in naming trees
When making an inventory or plot of trees in Kalimantan forests, there are three
main systems by which names can be assigned to trees. One alternative is to use
scientific names. The advantage is that the names will be useful worldwide.
However, use of scientific names requires many years of rigorous training and
experience, and is not especially useful for trade purposes. A second alternative
might be to use trade names. However, not all trade names can be readily
transferred for use in Kalimantan forests where there is a great variety of species.
There may be one trade name for many species, and more than one trade name for
one species. The third option is to use local names. This is the option used in most
production forest concessions, including AYI. The problem here is that there is no
precise “local name” for any one tree. In AYI, “local names” that are used reflect
the experience of the person assigning the name. For example, Javanese staff tend
to use national and Javanese names with some Dayak and Banjar names. Local
Dayaks tend to use local Dayak names with some Javanese and Banjar names.
People who have attended university or short courses may use names that they
have learned at university or on courses. Many trees in Kalimantan forests,
especially those that are rare or have no economic use, have no local name. In such
cases, or where the identifier does not know the identity of a particular tree, the
best name to use is “unknown”. Typically, however, inventory teams assign a
“local” name to every tree. The results are that (a) some trees are named wrongly
and (b) there is inconsistency in naming (for example, one species may be given a
national name by one person and a Dayak name by another).
1.3 Tree identification key
It has been recommended by the SCKPFP short term Growth & Yield specialist
(unpublished Consultant’s aide-memoire, 8/11/2000 to 5/12/2000) that tree
9. Trees in Hulu Tabalong : Recommended local names & field key to genera of non-dipterocarps

identification in the AYI area be based on a key to be formulated by a botanist,
based on bark characteristics.
1.4 Objective of this report
The objective of this report is to provide a list of names recommended for use in
the upper Tabalong area by AYI in forest inventory work, to support the goals of
accuracy and consistency.

4 Conclusion
It is proposed that tree names in APPENDIX 1 should be used for all inventory,
cruising and permanent sample plot work in the AYI production forest.
If a tree cannot be recognized by cruising teams, it is better to write “unknown”,
and not to guess.
Tree names recommended in APPENDIX 2 may be used by AYI staff if they are
able to learn these names and recognise the trees.
The field key to tree genera which occur in the upper Tabalong area (APPENDIX
3) provides an objective basis for identification where a more rigorous approach is
required (for example, checking identity of specific trees in permanent sample plots
or further training of research staff).
