Abstract
Epiphytes are one of the most diversiform plants, which its species richness peak in the tropic and subtropics. The objective of this study is to explore the different types of phorophyte. This research used the single plot method, as many as 100 plots, each measuring 10m x 10m, randomly distributed in Main Protected Zone of the Samarinda Botanical Garden. In each plot, the following data recorded the species name and individual numbers of phorophytes. The phorophyte in the old secondary forest area to the amount of 66 trees are consisting of 30 species of 29 families. The number of phorophytes is mostly in the diameter class between 21-38 cm. The Family of Dipterocarpaceae and species of Borassodendron borneensios, being the phorophyte which has got the most one in which each 8 species and 9 trees are existed in the forest.
