“…The species number of food plants also ranked first in Rajegwesi Village, Banyuwangi District, East Java (Pamungkas et al 2013), among Baduy Dalam community in Banten (Wardah 2003) and in the community near Hiang Forest of Kerinci District, Jambi Province (Andesmora 2017). However, the number of food plant species in this study was much smaller than that among Karo ethnic group in North Sumatra, which was 109 species (Nisyawati et al 2017), Baduy Dalam people in Banten, 81 (Wardah 2003), and Tengger community in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, East Java, 67 species (Batoro et al 2013).…”

“…Villagers used 163 plant species for eight purposes in Banten (Wardah 2003), 83 plant species for eight purposes in Batu Ampar Village of South Bengkulu District (Wiryono and Lipranto 2013), and 79 species for ten purposes in Harapan Makmur Village, Central Bengkulu District (Wiryono et al 2016). Karo ethnic in Semangat Gunung Village, North Sumatra, even used 109 plant species for food alone (Nisyawati et al 2017) and in Poncokusumo district of East Java, local people used 181 species of plants just for medical purpose (Batoro and Siswanto 2017).…”

Abstract. Wiryono, Wanandi Y, Ilahi AK, Deselina, Senoaji G, Siswahyono. 2019. The local knowledge of the plant names and uses by Semende tribe people in Kaur District, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 754-761. Local botanical knowledge is essential for the survival of local communities, but there is a global trend of the loss of local botanical knowledge among young generation, which causes serious concern among ethnobotanists. The objectives of this study were: (i) to document the diversity of plant species locally utilized by the people of Semende tribe in Bengkulu, Indonesia, (ii) to know the correlation between botanical knowledge and age of those people, and (iii) to test whether their knowledge was affected by gender. Data were gathered through field observations and interviews with key informants and general respondents consisting of males and females, ranging from 16 to 60 years old. The data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using regression analysis and t-test. The results showed that 106 species of plants were utilized by the people of Semende tribe for 14 types of uses. The knowledge of plant species and uses was positively correlated with age, implying that the young generation lost local botanical knowledge. Men had better botanical knowledge than women. Interaction with plants was presumably the determining factor affecting botanical knowledge. Young people spent less time in gardens than the elders, and so did the women than the men. Conversely, young people spent more time enjoying electronic entertainment than the elders, and so did the women than the men. Deliberate efforts must be done to maintain botanical knowledge among young people.

“…They are highly dependent on their plant resources for most of their basic needs especially for traditional medicines and food (Kushnick 2010, Penny & Singarimbun 1967. As a reflection of the above-mentioned points, in the last few years some researches have been conducted specifically concerning food plants in Batak Karo people (Nisyawati et al 2016, Purba et al 2018. Documentation of food plants especially wild plants, serves as basic data for future studies of nutritional value and increasing food diversity (Teklehaymanot & Giday 2010), conservation and sustainable use (Amusa et al 2010).…”

Background: Batak Karo is one of Batak tribes reputed for their local knowledge about the use of plants for purposes such as food. The objectives of this ethnobotanical study were to document local knowledge related to the uses of wild edible plants and to provide ethnobotanical data on edible plants of the Batak Karo ethnic in order to contribute to the Indonesian traditional food knowledge. This paper presents part of the ethnobotanical research carried out in Merdeka District, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Methods: Ethnobotanical information was obtained by interviewing 58 Karonese informants in Merdeka (28) and Jaranguda (30). Fifty-five percent of the interviewed people were men. Informants were determined through purposive sampling with the criteria of being married, using plants in the surrounding environment as food, farmers and having access to the forest. We conducted interviews (semi-structured and not closed questionnaire) during the fieldwork.Results: A total of 53 food plants belonging to 27 families were documented. Thirty percent of the collected species are wild and used for food. Several of these edible plants are also referred as medicinal plants for local people so they could be classified as food medicines. Begonia laruei M. Hughes, Medinilla speciosa Blume, Debregeasia longifoli (Burm. f.) Wedd, Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC and Eugenia polyantha Barb. Rord. need to be evaluated as potential crops. This study highlights the rich traditional knowledge on edible plants retained by Batak Karo people. Conclusion:The consumption of wild edible plants is still alive in Batak Karo people. The importance of some of these plant species as wild crops must be outlined since they are a source of genetic resources to establish diversity food.

“…In Indonesia, Homalomena cordata Schott and H. pendula (Blume) Bakh.f. are most frequently used as ornamental plants (Munawaroh et al 2017;Nisyawati and Mustaqim 2017;Asih and Kurniawan 2019;Asharo et al 2022;Manurung et al 2022;Rambey et al 2022).…”

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.
