Abstract

A preliminary survey on Araceae in Kadamaian – Kinabalu Park, Kota Belud, Sabah was conducted between 14^th to 20^th October, 2019. Four trails were surveyed namely Malangkap-Nariou Trail (425-670 m asl), Gansurai-Nopunggok Trail (~600m asl), Wasai Waterfall Trail (~425m asl) and Kampung Pinolobu Trail (~220m asl). A total of 25 species in nine genera of Araceae were recorded with at least two undescribed species. This finding shows that Kadamaian – Kinabalu Park indeed possesses unique forest ecology and should be gazetted as a protected area.
