“…Species of the Cucurbitaceae are used in traditional West African medicines (14). A study conducted in Indonesia also stated that several plants belonging to the family of Araceae is used as a complementary treatment for diabetes (15). In a study conducted in Tamil Nadu stated that species belonging to the family of Caesalpiniaceae and Apocynaceae have shown as an alternative and effective medicine for the treatment of diabetes (16).…”

The original roots of complementary medicine continue to be found in India, where it is still widely used in public healthcare. Due to the significant rise in frequency in India, diabetes mellitus has recently attracted attention. It is characterized by an increase in blood sugar levels over the threshold and an overflow of added sugar into the urine. The purpose of this research is to look into the traditional medical knowledge of plants used to cure diabetes in the Gajapati district of Odisha. Interactions with the Savara, Shaber, Kandha and Lodha tribes of the district were used to gather information on the anti-diabetic plants. Interacting with the traditional medicine men allowed researchers to chronicle the indigenous knowledge of the plants' anti-diabetic qualities. There are 19 plants in all, spread across 14 families, which have been identified as being used to treat diabetes mellitus. The medicinal plant belonging to the family of Euphorbiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Araceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Apocynaceae and Polypidiaceae are the most frequently used. Roots and leaves were the most frequently used, and decoction extracts were most frequently employed. Our research found a large number of these plants and the products they produce. With more thorough research, the future of diabetes treatment may be promising. For these plants to become recognized as secure and efficient anti-diabetic drugs, additional clinical and pharmaceutical intervention investigations are required.

Abstract. Irsyam ASD, Hariri MR, Kamila NN, Kurniawan MFR, Suwandhi I, Irwanto RR. 2023. Short Communication: The existence of Homalomena rubescens(Araceae) in Java, Indonesia based on morphological and molecular evidence. Biodiversitas 24: 3821-3827. Homalomena Schottis a member of Araceae family, with most species originating from Southeast Asia. Due to its stunning heart-shaped leaves and tolerance to shade, H. rubescens (Roxb.) Kunthis frequently used as an ornamental plant and is frequently found in tropical gardens. As an ornamental plant, it can escape cultivation. The existence of H. rubescens in Java has been enigmatic, and the likelihood of misidentification is high because it has morphological characteristics in common with H. pendula (Blume) Bakh.f. This research aims to confirm the presence of H. rubescens in Java, Indonesia based on examination of morphological characters and molecular analysis. An adventive population of Homalomena rubescens was found in the Babakan Siliwangi City Forest, Bandung City, West Java, as a result of a field study in 2022. Materials of the population were then collected and made into specimens in the Herbarium Bandungense for further morphological observations. Additionally, a molecular approach was used to confirm the identity. The collected specimen is unquestionably H. rubescens (Roxb.) Kunth based on morphological and molecular analysis. Therefore, in this paper, we formally announced H. rubescensas a newly naturalized species in Java, Indonesia.

Amorphophallus is a genus of Araceae with 170 species distributed throughout the world, 25 species grow in Indonesia and 18 are endemic. Tarlola Village is one of the habitats of Amorphophallus beccarii. This research aims to analyze the distribution of Cindings and structure of A. beccarii in Tarlola Village and analyze the association of A. beccarii with other plants. The A. beccarii habitat study was carried out using the Nested method with a plot area of 1 ha and a square shape taken from the A. beccarii plot. The data taken is regional vegetation, including tree vegetation calculated on 1 ha plots, pole vegetation on 0.25 ha plots, sapling vegetation on 0.0625 ha plots, and seedling and understory vegetation calculated on 0.01 ha plots. Based on the research results, it was found that there were 30 A. beccarii individuals. The highest Important Value Index (IVI) was obtained at the understorey level with Selaginella deoderleinii 57.39%. The association results found at the lower plant level were 13 species with positive associations and 15 species with negative associations, at the seedling level there were 12 species with positive associations and 14 species with negative associations, at the sapling level there were 12 species with positive associations and 19 species with negative associations, at the pole level there were 9 species. positively associated and 15 negatively associated species, at tree level there are 14 positively associated species and 9 negatively associated species.
