Abstract. Cahyanto T, Efendi M, Shofara RM. 2019. Short Communication: Floristic survey of vascular plant in the submontane forest of Mt. Burangrang Nature Reserve, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 2197-2205. A floristic survey was conducted in submontane forest of Block Pulus ​​Mount Burangrang West Java. The objectives of the study were to inventory vascular plant and do quantitative measurements of floristic composition as well as their structure vegetation in the submontane forest of Nature Reserves Mt. Burangrang, Purwakarta West Java. Samples were recorded using exploration methods, in the hiking traill of Mt. Burangrang, from 946 to 1110 m asl. Vegetation analysis was done using sampling plots methods, with plot size of 500 m2 in four locations. Result was that 208 species of vascular plant consisting of basal family of angiosperm (1 species), magnoliids (21 species), monocots (33 species), eudicots (1 species), superrosids (1 species), rosids (74 species), superasterids (5 species), and asterids (47), added with 25 species of pterydophytes were found in the area. The three families of plants are Lauraceae (10 species), Urticaceae (9 species), and Rubiaceae (8 species) dominating those areas. Fourteen species belong to IUCN red list: Least concern/LC (12 species), Vulnerable/VU (1 species), and endangered/EN (1 species). Furthermore, Castanopsis argentea A.DC, Pinanga javana Blume and Amorphophallus decus-silvae Backer & Aldrew belonging to protected plants are also found in the area. Based on the assessment of analysis vegetation, the forest has experienced disturbance, the density of trees is commonly  low and has a lot of gaps. Many vacant lots are found. On the other side, there is the presence of invasive plant species that may slow down a succession into climax growth of local plant.

There are five combinations of procedures that need to be implemented to achieve development strategy such as developing a variety of passion fruit products, make a unique and attractive design of products, institutional strengthening in agroindustry passion fruit, the use of information technology for marketing products and improving coordination between stakeholders (government, farmers, traders, processors) need to be implemented. For practitioners and consultants the findings of this study should enhance their ability in empowering the small scale business of agroindustry in developing their business by encouraging them to produce derived products; Performs innovation on display packaging; Institutional strengthening and using information technology for products marketing; also improves coordination between stakeholders (government, farmers, traders, processors). This research fills a gap in the literature as there has been minimal prior research with the specific focus on development strategy in passion fruit processing SMEs business; thus, it develops a foundation for further study in this area.

Oil palm is an industrial plantation that is useful as a producer of cooking oil, industrial oil, and fuel. This research was conducted in West Sulawesi, Indonesia on June to September 2020. The purpose of this study was to determine oil palm, to calculate contribution of non-oil palm and non-farming household and contribution of oil palm plantations to farmers' income. Sampling for respondent in this study was carried by simple random sampling to the oil palm farmers in the study location.  This study conducted at one of oil palm location center in Central Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi by using questionnaires. The first results showed that oil palm is very profitable with an average income of IDR 30,666,620 per hectare per year. The second, source of household income for farmers is obtained from oil palm farming, non-oil palm farming and non-farming activities with an average total household income of the oil palm farmers of IDR 46,363,655 per year.
