“…Indonesia is one of the world's richest nations in terms of biodiversity (Paoli et al, 2010). Local communities in Indonesia, including Halmahera Island, have traditionally used these diversities to meet their basic necessities (Asteria et al, 2021;Tamalene, 2017). Plants from several genera that have been reported to have pharmacological properties such as from genera Elaeocarpus, Alpinia, Gmelina, Morinda, Smilax, Aquilaria, Ziziphus, Timonius, Micromelum, Colubrina, Cinnamomum, and Garcinia (Hashim et al, 2016;Packer et al, 2015;Sangsopha et al, 2018;Singh et al, 2015;Srithi et al, 2019;Vasconcelos et al, 2018) are found and used locally in Halmahera island.…”
