- Abstract
We presented tree diversity on the ultramafic soils in Tojo Una-una district, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The research was carried out from March to July 2022. This study aims to determine the diversity of tree species at the study site using the single plot method with plot size 50m × 50m, which is divided into 25 subplots with 10 × 10m in size. All recognized morphospecies of tree were collected for specimen herbarium.. In addition, fertile voucher specimens were also collected. Identification of vouchers and additional herbarium specimens was done in the field as well as at the Plant Biosystematics Laboratory, Department of Biology, Tadulako University. The results showed that there were 111 individual trees consisting of 16 families and 22 species. Some of them are endemic to Sulawesi, such as Palaquium maliliense P. Royen, Sarcotheca celebica Veldk., Terminalia supitiana Koord., Canarium acutifolium (DC.) Merr. Var, celebicum Leenh., Gymnacranthera maliliensis R. T. A. Schouten., and Chionanthus celebicus Koord. Tree species Canarium acutifolium (DC.) Merr. Var, celebicum Leenh has the highest Important Value Index of 32.94% and the Shanon Whiener diversity index is 2.82 (medium category).
