Noraini, one of my Lecturer in Faculty Science and Technologi UKM (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia). This is an exciting experience when we can see the pollen grain of the flower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;According to Williams, 1994, palynology is a branch of science concered  with the study of pollen, spores, and similar palynomorphs, living and fossil. in plant systematic it is useful for classification and identification/authentification. it also useful in forensic science, archeology, and pharmaceutical/medical-herbal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In studying palynology, there are two methods to see the pollen and spores micromorphology. there are by using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and using the Light Microscope (LM). In this lecture, we used to choose one flower to be our project, and i choose &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Gardenia jasminoides&lt;/span&gt; for my project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an introduction for &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Gardenia jasminoides&lt;/span&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KkQjeQ02IjM/Rx3cFmxlhBI/AAAAAAAAAD8/eEMsJ8h_A08/s1600-h/New+Picture+%281%29.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KkQjeQ02IjM/Rx3cFmxlhBI/AAAAAAAAAD8/eEMsJ8h_A08/s320/New+Picture+%281%29.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124493939883475986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p:colorscheme colors="#ffffff,#292929,#808080,#000000,#cc9900,#cccc99,#999933,#b2b2b2"&gt;  &lt;/p:colorscheme&gt;&lt;div shape="_x0000_s1026" class="O"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=""&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Gardenia &lt;/span&gt;is a genus of about 250 species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. native to the tropical andsubtropical regions of africa, southern asia, australasia, and oceania.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The genus was named by Carolus Linnaeus after Dr. Alexander Garden (1730-1791), scottish born american naturalist&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Common name: Cape Jasmine&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Species skill level: experience&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Exposure: Full sun, partiel shade&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;soil type: well drained/light&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Height: 300 cm&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spreed: 200 cm&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I study this flower under the SEM to know its size, types, the colpus and granul, the exine ornamentation and its aperture, I also use the LM to know its size and types.

Karena habitatnya yang alami, hutan Gua Musang juga di kenali sebagai salah satu habitat daripada bunga terbesar di dunia, iaitu bunga Rafflesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Untuk menjumpai Rafflesia di hutan Gua Musang memerlukan perjuangan yang berat, pelancong mesti mendaki selama kurang lebih 3 jam melewati sungai, jalan yang licin, dan tanah lembab berlumpur untuk boleh sampai ketempat hidup Rafflesia. Memang telah menjadi ciri khas Rafflesia hidup di dalam hutan primer untuk dapat bertahan hidup. Namun pelancong juga akan berkesempatan melihat kawasan tempat tinggal “Orang Asli” sebagai salah satu tempat tujuan pelancongan. Tempat tinggal orang asli terletak di pinggiran-pinggiran hutan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Rafflesia hutan Gua Musang dikenali sebagai spesies kerii, dimana sebelum kembang kudup bunga membesar sampai sebesar “kol” berwarna merah tua. "Kuntum bunga Rafflesia Gua Musang memiliki lima kelopak dengan diameter 40 cm dan tinggi15 cm," ukuran itu relatif kecil daripada biasanya manakala ada bunga Rafflesia yang mencapai delapan kelopak dan tinggi mencapai hingga 1 meter. Bunga rafflesia boleh kembang dalam semalam dan biasanya layu dalam masa 5-7 hari.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Rafflesia kerii tidak pernah berhasil dikembangbiakkan di luar habitat aslinya, sebab apabila akar atau inangnya mati, Rafflesia akan ikut mati. Rafflesia bersifat parasit terhadap satu tumbuhan liana tertentu bernama tetrastigma, dan tinggal di dalam akar tersebut seperti tali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Rafflesia mengeluarkan bau busuk seperti bangkai untuk menarik perhatian lalat yang menjadi polinator (penyebar polen) utamanya dan membantu proses pendebungaan. Ekologi Rafflesia masih merupakan misteri hingga saat ini, didugai Babi Hutan dan Tupai merupakan agen penyebarluasan bunga ini melalui bijinya yang sangat kecil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Pesona Rafflesia dengan ukuran dan warnanya yang indah sangat menarik perhatian pelancong dalam dan luar negara. Apalagi bunga ini juga terkenal sebagai bunga yang langka sebab Rafflesia memerlukan waktu 11 bulan untuk dapat kembang. Setelah melalui perjalanan panjang di dalam hutan, rasa penat dan lelah semasa mendaki akan hilang setelah melihat keindahan Rafflesia, ditambah dengan panorama hutan asli yang indah, bunga Rafflesia mekar indah di tengah-tengah hutan yang primer belum terjamah, maka pantaslah apabila Rafflesia diumpamakan seperti “The Queen of the jungle”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By : Kharisma (FST-UKM)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2079869824340610866-7030497224371296719?l=afrakhalisah.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://afrakhalisah.blogspot.com/feeds/7030497224371296719/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2079869824340610866&amp;postID=7030497224371296719' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2079869824340610866/posts/default/7030497224371296719'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2079869824340610866/posts/default/7030497224371296719'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://afrakhalisah.blogspot.com/2007/10/rafflesia-gua-musang-queen-of-jungle.html' title='Rafflesia Gua Musang &quot;The Queen Of The Jungle&quot;'/><author><name>kharisma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12309169247911626836</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://www.geocities.com/afrakhalisah/khar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KkQjeQ02IjM/RwV8SGxlg1I/AAAAAAAAACc/6iyj6-2Cxtg/s72-c/DSC04351.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
