“…are cleaned by rubbing the flesh with bare hands or a certain tool and assisted with running water. Some seeds are attached to the fruit flesh and are difficult to separate, so they require the help of tools such as a stone mill, picking the seeds one by one from the fruit fiber because the pericarp is very thin and firmly attached to the seed coat (testa) [26,27]. Some seeds in dry ripe pods, such as Mucuna gigantea, are fairly easy to obtain by manually opening the pods.…”

Seed exploration is one of the conservation strategies used to enhance the collection of seeds as natural resources in the seed bank. In 2020, we explored Nusakambangan Island from the West Nusakambangan nature reserve area, Batar Panjang coast, to Kali Jati Riverbanks. The exploratory approach and direct fruit tree sampling were employed. This study seeks to collect and preserve plant seeds and discover their biological seed characteristics. Thirty-two (32) collection numbers were obtained, consisting of 22 families and 27 genera. Moraceae and Euphorbiaceae (4 species) have the most fruiting trees in this exploration. Ficus variegata, Mucuna gigantea, and Ziziphus horsfieldii are new Bogor Botanic Gardens database collections. Most seeds (75%) we collect are orthodox and suitable for long-term storage. In addition, the specimens are not endemic or endangered trees; few still need identification. Also, this study provides information on biological seed characteristics that facilitate seed conservation storage at Bogor Botanical Garden Seed Bank.
