<p>Centella (<em>Centella asiatica</em> L. Urban) originally is a wild plant that is being cultivated to be medicinal and cosmetics raw material. The process of centella cultivation is relatively easy and can be grown in a variety of altitudes. One obstacle in centella cultivation is weed growth. The proper handling of weeds in centella plantation requires data on the weed types and characteristics. This research aimed to determine the weed types and the amount of weed found in centella cultivation. Sampling was carried out purposively based on the presence of weeds in the cultivation area. Weed inventory was carried out using linear vegetation methods in 12 plantation beds of centella, with a size of 6 x 2 m<sup>2</sup> each. Observations were made during weeding on one cropping season. Weed inventory was carried out by recording the number of species and number of individual weed and taking documentation of weeds that were recorded for identification purposes. Research data were analyzed by using vegetation analysis. The weed vegetation analysis on centella plantations showed that there were 35 species of weeds identified from 20 plant families. <em>Cyperus rotundus</em> L. dominates the weed vegetation in centella plantations because of its high adaptability and its allelochemical exudates. To sustainably cultivate the centella, proper techniques of weed controls need to be applied by considering the nature of <em>Cyperus rotundus</em> L.</p>
<p>Penggunaan bahan alam sebagai obat tradisional telah lama digunakan oleh bangsa Indonesia dan diwariskan secara turun temurun, termasuk penggunaan pada perawatan sebelum dan setelah persalinan. Masyarakat Maluku masih memilih obat tradisional sebagai pilihan alternatif bahkan sebagai pilihan utama dalam penyembuhan saat nifas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi spesies tanaman obat dan bagian spesifik tanaman yang paling banyak dimanfaatkan untuk perawatan sebelum dan setelah persalinan di Maluku Utara. Penelitian dilakukan bertahap dari tahun 2012 sampai 2017 dengan jumlah total titik pengamatan sebanyak 16 suku di Maluku Utara. Pengambilan data dan sampel dilakukan melalui wawancara kepada penyehat<br />tradisional (hattra), dengan mengikuti prosedur ethical clearance sebelumnya. Data tumbuhan yang diperoleh selanjutnya dilakukan identifikasi dan literatur review sedangkan variabel yang dianalisis meliputi: komposisi ramuan, nama penyakit, nama lokal, nama ilmiah tumbuhan obat, bagian yang digunakan, cara penyiapan ramuan, asal tumbuhan, dan kearifan lokal. Hasil penelitian diperoleh 68 tumbuhan obat, dari 31 famili yang berasal dari 12 suku di Maluku. Dari seluruh tanaman obat yang diperoleh, diidentifikasi 8 spesies yang digunakan untuk perawatan sebelum persalinan dan 59 spesies untuk perawatan setelah<br />persalinan. Tujuh spesies tumbuhan yang banyak digunakan masyarakat dalam ramuan perawatan sebelum dan setelah persalinan, yaitu Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L., Ipomoea pes-caprae (L.) R. Br., Morinda citrifolia L., Musa × paradisiaca L., Premna serratifolia L., Sesbania grandiflora (L.) Pers., dan Terminalia catappa L.</p>
