“…Based on the morphological characters of these species (described by Stumpf et al, 2009;Sousa and Versieux, 2020; Table 1), 12 species have potentials to be developed as ornamental foliage (Table 2), and 24 species as flowering ornamentals (Table 3). Additionally, three endemic and rare species were found, Anaphalis javanica (Javanese edelweiss, Figure 3 B and Figure 4) (Whitten et al, 1992), Dodonaea viscosa (Figure 5), and Tetrastigma glabratum (Figure 6) (Lianah, 2014). The species in our study have different growth habits, i.e., herbs, shrubs, trees, creeping and climbing lianas, and epiphytes (Table 2 and 3).…”

“…Tetrastigma glabratum (local name: oyod gang, walikadep) is a liana found climbing on tall trees in the Mount Prau forest at an altitude of 1300 m.a.s.l. Tetrastigma glabratum grows wild at Mount Prau and the surrounding areas, especially in Blumah Village (Lianah, 2014). The local people at the villages around the area have been using the liquid exudates from T. glabratum to children's appetite, to treat coughing and to maintain health in general (Lianah, 2014).…”

Identification and documentation of wild plant species with ornamental potentials at Mount Prau, Central Java, Indonesia

Indonesia has diverse flora and fauna, and many species remain largely undiscovered. Documentation and identification of threatened wild ornamental species are increasingly difficult due to ongoing exploitation and land conversion. Mount Prau is one of the popular destinations in Central Java, Indonesia for tourism. Understanding plant biodiversity has enormous value for the economy, ecology, culture, science, and recreation. Our study is aimed to record the diversity and identify the flowering plant species in their native habitat at Mount Prau, Central Java, Indonesia. Our field surveys demonstrated that Mount Prau has abundant wild ornamental plants with wide diversity of taxa, growth habits, and forms. A total of 103 species representing 51 families and 95 genera are identified including trees, shrubs, herbs, and lianas. We also found that among the plant species found in Mount Prau, 24 have morphological characters suitable to be cultivated as ornamental flowers, and 12 as ornamental foliages, and 63 species are medicinal plants. The ornamental criteria of these species were based on the literature describing the morphological and unique characters of leaves and flowers that made them potential to be developed as ornamental plants. In this paper we have provided the current conservation status of the plant species identified and recommendations on their conservation. This study provides baseline data of species found in the Mount Prau areas, and this information could be helpful for further conservations efforts and initiatives.

“…The liquid exudates from the stems of T. glabratum have been used by the local people in the villages at Mt. Prau for generations (Lianah, 2014). The stem exudate is believed to have health benefits including increasing children's appetites, have refreshing and stimulating effects, and has been used as a natural medicine in that area.…”

A study was conducted to determine the growth and the best method of cutting propagation of Tetrastigma glabratum (Blume) Planch, a host of Rafflesiaceae. Rafflesia is the largest and magnificent flower in the world that requires growing parasitically on the host plant. T. glabratum was found to grow in the naturally protected rainforests at Mount Prau, Candiroto, North Kedu, Central Java, Indonesia. T. glabratum existence is threatened due to illegal harvesting by the local people who use liquid exudates from the mature stems as an energy drink and to cure various diseases. The population of T. glabratum is increasingly hard to find, particularly the mature plants. Ex situ conservation and cultivation is very important to protect T. glabratum. Propagation studies were conducted using stem cuttings and treated with IBA at 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 ppm, and a commercially available rooting hormone containing naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) versus non-treated as a control, and through air layering. In the second experiment, stem explants were cultured in vitro using MS media. IBA and NAA increased the percentage of survived and rooted cuttings over control, and IBA at 2000 ppm significantly improved the percentage of rooted cuttings (50%) compared to 5% without IBA. Air layering techniques had more success than cuttings, with tree fern media giving 70% success rates with the highest number and longest roots. In vitro methods have been developed to obtain sterilized explants from the mature plants growing in situ but have not been successful to induce proliferation even though the explants had started showing enlargement around the nodal section.

“…Both Tetrastigma and Rafflesia are often found in slightly rocky and sandy habitats (Balete et al, 2010;Barcelona et al, 2007). Several studies have recorded that the soils in their habitats were slightly acidic (Nasihah, 2016;Nur Hayati et al, 2021) to almost neutral (Ali et al, 2015;Laksana et al, 2018;Lianah, 2014). The high acidity level of the soil significantly affects the types and amount of chemicals in the soil.…”

This study was conducted to identify the type of soil texture, and its relationship with Tetrastigma sp., a host of the Rafflesia sp. in Kinabalu Park, Sabah, Malaysia. The soil samples were collected from five study areas: Losou Podi, Losou Minunsud, Sayap Substation, Langanan and Gansurai. The plot was selected when the host exhibited traits of being infected by Rafflesia, either by the presence of buds, flowers or residual scar marks found on the host. The result reveals that the soil in the habitat of Rafflesia sp. and their host is sandy loam type, with a high volume of sand compared to silt and clay, between 65.40-79.25%. The soil moisture in the area is low, ranging from 14.89% to 27.96%. The soil in the plots was less fertile due to low value of soil organic matters (1.12-1.40%), with slightly acidic soil pH value (4.08-4.73). The most abundant elements contained in the soil were Fe, Al and Mg. The different Rafflesia habitats were observed to have a relationship with different soil factors: either physical, chemical, or both to promote the growth of Rafflesia. There was relationship between Sayap Substation with some chemical elements in the soil, rather than the soil’s physical characteristic. Both Langanan and Losou Podi were only influenced by the physical characteristics of the soil. In comparisons, the Gansurai and Losou Minunsud have a relationship influenced by a combination of physical properties and chemical elements in the soil. From this study, it can be concluded the presence of Tetrastigma sp. in the different Rafflesia habitats has its own relationship with the soil and is not influenced by one factor.
