Sequencing was performed using <i>trn</i>L-<i>trn</i>F and <i>trnH</i>-<i>psb</i>A.

The shared haplotype among Bintan, Lingga, and Bunguran with Sumatra mainland suggests a potential connection to the geographical history of these islands, which were formerly part of Sundaland. The nucleotide diversity (π) was notably low in Bunguran Island (π = 0.00215) and the West Kalimantan population (π = 0.00067), in contrast to Sumatra and its adjacent islands characterized by a nucleotide diversity of 0. Despite this low nucleotide diversity value, the phytoregional populations were genetically differentiated, with the highest differentiation between Bunguran Island and Western Borneo (<i>F</i><sub>ST</sub> = 0.83686).
