Heliciais agenusof 110 species of trees and shrubs, constituting part of the plant familyProteaceae.[3]They grow naturally in rainforests throughout tropicalSouthandSoutheast Asia,includingIndia,Sri Lanka,Indochina,Peninsular MalaysiatoNew Guineaand as far south asNew South Wales.

Conservation[edit]

At global, national and regional government scales, manyHeliciaspecies have been threatened with extinction, as officially recognised by theInternational Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN) and by continental, national and local governments. Seventeen species have official IUCN global conservation statuses of either "critically endangered", "endangered", "vulnerable" or "near threatened" (in terms of global extinction).

Naming and classification[edit]

In 1790, notable pioneer botanistJoão de Loureirodescribed this genus asHeliciain his publicationFlora Cochinchinensis.[1][2]Thetype speciesfor the genus wasHelicia cochinchinensis,thetype specimenof which was collected inCochinchina,Vietnam.[1][2]The genus name derives from theGreekword "έλιξ"(élix), which refers to the petals, now calledtepals,spirally revolving or simply rolling or coiling up on themselves, atanthesis(the flowering time when theanthersopen).[1][4][5]

In 1831, botanistNathaniel WallichnamedHelicia robustafor a dried specimen of a cultivated plant in India,[6]based on the specimen's earlier 1814 nameRoupala robustabyWilliam Roxburgh.[7]Roxburgh'sCalcuttabotanic gardens cultivated the plant.

From the 1850s to the 1860s notable German–Australian botanistFerdinand von Muellerformallydescribedseveral new Australian species.[8][9][10]In the late 1800s and early 1900sFrederick M. Baileyconcentrated further on additionalQueenslandspecies, writing descriptions of them in numerous scientific papers.[11][12][13]

In 1939,Hermann O. Sleumerdescribed many additionalMalesianspecies, especially in New Guinea.[14]In 1955, he published a revision of the genus.[15]In 1956, his treatment of the genus inFlora Malesianawas published.[16]From 1969 to the late 1990s botanistDon B. Foreman,who was based inPapua New Guineaand Australia, collected numerous additional species, which he formally described before he wrote the comprehensive reviews and flora treatments for the two regions;[17][18][19][20]notably in the authoritativeHandbooks of the Flora of Papua New Guinea(1978–1995, to date 3 volumes), he wrote the chapters for Proteaceae and other families;[21]and in the authoritativeFlora of Australia(1981–, 60 volume series)he wrote the treatment ofHelicia.[4]

From the 1990s botanist Richard C. K. Chung, based in Malaysia, published new species formal descriptions and a revision of the 13 species occurring inBorneo.[22][23]In total, approximately 100 species have been formally scientifically described.[24][25][26]

Lawrie JohnsonandBarbara G. BriggsgroupedHeliciawithXylomelumin the subtribe Heliciinae, tribe Helicieae, and subfamilyGrevilleoideaein their 1975 monograph "On the Proteaceae: the evolution and classification of a southern family".[27]However, genetics studies showed these two to be relatively unrelated, instead finding the closest genetic correlations betweenHollandaeaandHelicia,and therefore classifying them both in the subtribe Heliciinae within the tribe Roupaleae.[24]

Diversity and description[edit]

Helicia glabriflorafrom New South Wales, Australia

Heliciaplants generally grow naturally as small trees, while some species grow as shrubs and some grow to medium-sized trees up to 30 m (100 ft).[16][21][28]

They grow naturally across the Malesia region with the major centre of species diversity of about fifty species in New Guinea. They grow naturally in the south west Pacific ocean region, and in north and eastern Australia. They grow naturally across southern and eastern Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia and another centre of species diversity of about twenty species in southern China, extending to parts of the Indian subcontinent, the Philippines, Taiwan, and southern Japan.[16][21][24]The plant family Proteaceae's 1,700 species (approximate) have their greatest diversity in the southern hemisphere and smaller centres of diversity including someHelicia,in the near northern hemisphere. The species diversity of the plant family Proteaceae decreases further northwards.H. cochinchinensishas the natural distribution reaching furthest north to Japan where it grows into trees in the mountains of warmer parts and where no other species nor other Proteaceae genera occur. The same Japanese nameYama-mogashi(Sơn もがし)for this species, also means the whole genus and the entire Proteaceae plant family.[29]In the New Guinea and southern China centres of species diversity, many species grow in forests, up to as tall as the sub-canopy, especially diverse in rainforests.[21][24]In Australia, they are generally components of rainforests, and prefer richer soils,[28]especially in the farthest south region ofHelicia's global distribution, theIllawarra,New South Wales,south of Sydney, where only one speciesH. glabrifloraoccurs, preferring richer basalt soils.[30][31]

Cultivation[edit]

In India and east Asia Helicias have been cultivated in botanic gardens, from the 1800s.[7]In Australia they have rarely been cultivated, and were thought to have little horticultural value. The rusty-coloured new growth is attractive on some species.[28]In some of the better known Australian species, the flowers and fruit are generally not prominent, and plants can be slow growing. They are generally propagated by seed, the viability of which drops rapidly with time.[32]
