TL;DR: The findings indicate that generic circumscriptions require revision, and a nomenclatural solution was not sought at this stage because inadequate sampling and lack of support at basal nodes suggested that the topologies obtained might not be entirely reliable.

TL;DR: Six rattan genera occur in Vietnam: Plectocomia, Plectocomiopsis, Myrialepis, Daemonorops, Calamus, and Korthalsia ; here one new species of PlectOComiopsis is described and three of Calamus are described and illustrated.
Abstract: Six rattan genera occur in Vietnam: Plectocomia, Plectocomiopsis, Myrialepis, Daemonorops, Calamus, and Korthalsia . Here we describe and illustrate one new species of Plectocomiopsis (P. songthanhensis) , two of Daemonorops (D. brevicaulis, D. ocreata), and three of Calamus (C. parvulus, C. seriatus, C. yentuensis ). Additionally we transfer two Calamus species, C . fissilis and C. nuichuaensis, to Daemonorops.

TL;DR: A simple and rapid liquid chromatographic method with diode-array UV-vis spectrophotometric detection has been developed for the authentication of dragon's blood resins from Dracaena and Daemonorops trees and can be used to evaluate the provenance of samples used in different areas of cultural heritage.

TL;DR: Examples of dragon's blood resins from the Economic Botany Collections at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, dating from 1851 to 1993, have been analysed non-destructively using Raman spectroscopy to establish the source of specimens of questionable or unknown origin.
Abstract: “Dragon′s blood” is the name applied to the deep-red coloured resin obtained from various plants. The original source in Roman times, used by many cultures and esteemed for its depth of colour and mystical association, was the dragon tree Dracaena cinnabari
(Convallariaceae), found only on the Indian Ocean island of Socotra, (Yemen). Additional sources emerged later, including another species of Dracaena, D. draco, from the Canary Islands and Madeira, and species in the genera Daemonorops
(Palmae) from South East Asia and Croton
(Euphorbiaceae) from tropical parts of both the New and Old Worlds. In this study, examples of dragon's blood resins from the Economic Botany Collections at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, dating from 1851 to 1993, have been analysed non-destructively using Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectra of well-documented, provenanced specimens have been used to establish the source of specimens of questionable or unknown origin. It has also been possible from the Raman spectra to indicate whether processing of the resins has been undertaken in the preparation of the specimens before their deposition at Kew.

TL;DR: These findings have significance for biodiversity conservation and management because rattan harvesting is widespread and unmanaged, and the Sulawesi rattan flora remains poorly known taxonomically and ecologically.
