“…In line with that, to assist in formulating conservation planning both in-situ and ex-situ, a priority list of species is needed. This priority list can further help achieve the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation 2011-2020 (Cahyaningsih et al, 2021).…”

Identification and documentation of wild plant species with ornamental potentials at Mount Prau, Central Java, Indonesia

et al. 2022

Indonesia has diverse flora and fauna, and many species remain largely undiscovered. Documentation and identification of threatened wild ornamental species are increasingly difficult due to ongoing exploitation and land conversion. Mount Prau is one of the popular destinations in Central Java, Indonesia for tourism. Understanding plant biodiversity has enormous value for the economy, ecology, culture, science, and recreation. Our study is aimed to record the diversity and identify the flowering plant species in their native habitat at Mount Prau, Central Java, Indonesia. Our field surveys demonstrated that Mount Prau has abundant wild ornamental plants with wide diversity of taxa, growth habits, and forms. A total of 103 species representing 51 families and 95 genera are identified including trees, shrubs, herbs, and lianas. We also found that among the plant species found in Mount Prau, 24 have morphological characters suitable to be cultivated as ornamental flowers, and 12 as ornamental foliages, and 63 species are medicinal plants. The ornamental criteria of these species were based on the literature describing the morphological and unique characters of leaves and flowers that made them potential to be developed as ornamental plants. In this paper we have provided the current conservation status of the plant species identified and recommendations on their conservation. This study provides baseline data of species found in the Mount Prau areas, and this information could be helpful for further conservations efforts and initiatives.

“…Buah dan daunnya juga berpotensi untuk fertilitas pejantan (Wijayanti & Ardigurnita, 2018). Selain M. speciosa yang berpotensi obat, ternyata M. radicans juga berpotensi sebagai obat tradisional (Cahyaningsih et al, 2021). Jika dilihat dari penampakan morfologinya keenam spesies medinilla Bali berpotensi sebagai tanaman hias.…”

“…Dari 12 aksesi tersebut diketahui medinilla Bali yang terkonservasi di KREK Bali sebanyak 80 % yaitu empat dari lima spesies yang ada (Tabel 1). Dalam penelitian Cahyaningsih et al (2021) M. radicans merupakan satu dari enam spesies anggota suku Melastomaceae yang menjadi prioritas tanaman obat Indonesia yang perlu dikonservasi. Oleh karena itu konservasi ex-situ medinilla sangat penting untuk dilakukan, tidak hanya M. radicans, tetapi juga spesies lain karena spesies-spesies lain belum banyak dipelajari.…”

Medinilla is a tropical forest plant that has potential as an ornamental and medicinal plant. The diversity of Medinilla in Bali is poorly studied. This study aims to determine the diversity, distribution and conservation activities of Bali’s Medinilla at the Eka Karya Bali Botanical Garden. The research method used are literature study, search for data collection and exploration, amd herbarium observations. Based on this research, it is known that there are six species of Medinilla in Bali such as Medinilla crassifolia (Reinw.ex Blume) Blume, Medinilla alpestris Blume, Medinilla laurifolia (Blume) Blume, Medinilla radicans (Blume) Blume, Medinilla speciosa (Reinw.ex Blume) Blume and Medinilla quadrifolia (BI.) Bakh. F. M. quadrifolia is a new distribution record for Bali. All species were discovered in the districts of Buleleng, Bangli, Gianyar, Jembrana, Karangasem and Tabanan districts. Only four species have been conserved in the Bali Botanical Gardens, according to data from the Eka Karya Bali Botanical Gardens' collection, therefore exploration and collection activities are critical. Conservation activities carried out at Eka Karya Bali Botanical Garden are collecting and data collection, maintaining and propagating species of Medinilla.

Strychnos ligustrina Blume is one of the potential plants for medicine that has been used by the local community in Indonesia for traditional medicine. Some studies showed that S. ligustrina parts had different activities, such as antimalarial, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. Triterpenoids, phenolics, tannins, alkaloids, and flavonoids were detected in this species. Different plant parts and grow sites may affect the composition of chemical components. Therefore, the present study investigated the chemical components in different parts of S. ligustrina from some grow sites. The chemical components of different plant parts were analyzed by GC-MS and showed 51 compounds in total. The major constituents identified as mome inositol, heptadecene-(8)-carbonic acid-(1), palmitic acid, quinic acid, and stearic acid. The main active constituent of the antimalarial drug, strychnine, was also detected in this study. The PCA and cluster analysis of chemical components resulted in distinguished plant parts into three groups, whereas had shown no difference among the sites. In addition, the crucial compounds of this species that potential for antimalarial, strychnine, are only found in the leaf and stem. It has been shown that the leaf and stem are potential plant parts for the antimalarial agent.
