Asteraceae have many species and beautiful flowers that became an attraction for cultivation and were used as ornamental or cut flowers. Asteraceae grow fertile in the high plains, as seen from the diversity of livable species and their phenetic flowers. The purpose of this research was inventory of the Asteraceae ornamental plants of the Gayo’s Highland. Analysis with explorative survey methods was conducted at eight districts in Bener Meriah Regency by conducting direct observations at the location of the statement’s object. The study found 19 species of Asteraceae belonging to 14 genera, including Dahlia, Tagetes, Cosmos, Zinnia, Chrysanthemum, Helianthus, Coreopsis, Tithonia, Melapodium, Tanacetum, Symphyotrichum, Callistephus, Centratherum, and Gerbera. The most commonly found genus is Dahlia, with three species with different color varieties, followed by Tateges, Cosmos, and Tithonia, with two species. This suggests that Dahlia is a favorite species and a potential plant to be chosen as an ornamental plant in the planning of the development of the Asteraceae flower garden as well as a cut flower and increasing its economic value.

“…Related to this, numerous studies have highlighted the importance of the phylosophycal and spiritual meaning of flower offerings. Many authors agree that the philosophical value behind flower offerings may be the root of species protection and conservation (Darma et al, 2021;Sulistiyowati & Muttaqin, 2014;Sutrisno et al, 2020). On top of that, Darma et al (2021) highlighted that, as flowers are important aspects of prayer, the culture of flower offering may affect the conservation behavior of society.…”

This research aims to demonstrate the value of intangible assets at heritage sites for species conservation. The study is located in Kotagede, a remnant of the Kingdom of Mataram Islam. A floristic survey was performed at major sites, including the Grand Mosque, the Royal Cemeteries, and the Water Reservoir Area (Sendang). Data on intangible knowledge of plants was collected through interviews with caretakers (juru kunci) and visitors to Kotagede. A total of 61 species from 41 families of angiosperms were recorded, and many of them were cultivated and purposefully planted for cultural needs. Several species were cultivated due to their medicinal use and source of food. Overall, this study concluded that heritage sites serve as physical assets for preserving history and intangible assets that contain intangible value. Conservation of plant species occurs due to cultural and philosophical values that are closely related to the existence of the heritage.

Abstract. Rahayu SM, Batoro J, Sukenti K, Hakim L. 2023. Ethnobotanical study of peraq api ritual in Sasak Tribe of Lombok Island, Indonesia and its potential for sustainable tourism. Biodiversitas 24: 5485-5494. Peraq api is a ritual for giving baby names by the Sasak Tribe in Lombok Island, Indonesia. This ritual uses various species of plants and processions to symbolize values and beliefs of the Sasak people. This unique cultural knowledge and practice might interest tourists to experience the ritual. This study aims to determine the diversity of plant species used in peraq api ritual and the ethnobotanical knowledge embedded on it, and to assess the potential of utilizing this ritual for sustainable tourism development. This research was conducted in villages around the Mandalika Area, including Sengkol, Kuta, Sukadana, and Mertak Villages, located in Pujut Sub-district, Central Lombok District, West Nusa Tenggara Province. The research was carried out by combining the methods of direct observation, participatory observation and interviews. Information on the species and vernacular names, plant part used, mode of use, conservation status of the plant as well as its habitat were collected and analyzed using descriptive and qualitative approaches. Based on the research, it was found that 15 families, 21 genera and 22 plant species were used in peraq api ritual. Each plant symbolizes the indigenous value and beliefs of Sasak Tribe related to their connection with God, people and environment. The use of plants in peraq api ritual also shows the indigenous intelligence of the Sasak Tribe. Traditional knowledge about the uses of plants and landscape management plays an important role in plant conservation. Plants used in the peraq api ritual can be found in various habitats, including homegarden, garden, riverside and ricefield. These various habitats resemble the indigenous ecological and ethnobotanical knowledge of Sasak Tribe in landscape management which has a very positive role in conserving biodiversity, creating a sustainable environment and socio-cultural preservation. The peraq api ritual has the potential to be develope as a sustainable tourism. The development of peraq api rituals for tourism might be useful to preserve cultural values of Sasak Tribe ??as a national cultural asset, conserve plant diversity and environment and improve the welfare of local communities.
