ABSTRACT
Vatica rassak is one of the most exploited species of the genus Vatica for its
wood and resin. The species exhibits high morphological variations across their range
of distribution that crosses the border of the Wallace’s line. To understand whether such
variations may imply infra-specific variations related to the distribution pattern, it is necessary
to study the morphological characteristics of V. rassak and determine its phylogenetic
position within the genus. Morphological observations were carried out on 799 herbarium
specimens of V. rassak deposited in Herbarium Bogoriense (BO). Data collected during
the observation was used for a phenetic analysis. The evolutionary relationship of V. rassak
within the genus Vatica was assessed by performing a phylogenetic analysis. The results
of the phenetic analysis using 14 morphological characters showed a moderate range of
morphological variations (similarity coefficient of 0.38–1.05). The spatial morphological
variation deduced from the PCA analysis of the specimens examined showed almost the
same grouping as in the phenetic analysis. Phylogenetic analysis based on trnL-trnF sequence
suggested that V. rassak is included in a group comprised mostly Vatica Section Vatica.
Section Sunaptea is a paraphyletic group.
