Flora Malesiana – Fagaceae
[Updated June 2025] Welcome! These pages are the project site for the new Flora Malesiana – edition Fagaceae. The last taxonomic treatment for Fagaceae in Malesia was published in 1972, and was only illustrated with a small number of pen drawings and black and white photographs. At the time, the circumscription of the Family still included the genus Nothofagus, which today is recognized as a distinct family (Nothofagaceae). Since the 70’s, massive economical changes (and their ecological consequences) have reshaped biological communities throughout tropical Asia. Much more accurate biogeographical and botanical knowledge on the Asian tropical biome has since been accumulated, resulting in the publication of a large number of new records and species. To provide a full taxonomic revision and compile a fully illustrated treatment, a major inventory and revision of existing collections is being carried out by Dr Joeri Sergej Strijk. A completely reworked taxonomic treatment is expected in 2026-2027. All species information and a finalized checklist will be released here below in 2026, and all species information will be released on the individual species pages on this site.
