| NO. 102728 Identification of important weed species in the industrial plantation forest at Benakat, South Sumatra Pengenalan jenis gulma penting pada hutan tanaman industri (HTI) di Benakat, Sumatera Selatan Pratiwi; Nazif, M Buletin Penelitian Hutan [Forest Research Buletin] (574): 55-67 (1995) Abstract: This report deals with the description of ten weed species commonly growing in industrial forest plantations. Weeds were collected from the reforestation trial area at Benakat, South Sumatra, in October 1988. Weed identification is important for the selection of proper weed control techniques. In this report are presented the latin as well as the local names and the botanical characteristics of each of the ten weed species, namely Clibadium surinamense, Derris elliptica, Austroeupatorium inulifolium (synonym Eupatorium palescens), Imperata cylindrica, Lantana camara, Lygodium microphyllum (synonym Lygodium scandens), Merremia peltata, Mikania cordata, Melastoma malabathricum, Mikania scandens.

A traditional healer was consulted and the plant species regarded as medicines by the traditional healer ("Sikerei") were collected. An inventory of medicinal plants was also made inside Tei-tei Batti Nature Reserve near Sirisurak village to find out diversity and potential of the medicinal plants (in the reserve). The Mentawaian traditional way of life is tied up with the surrounding environment. The wealthiness of traditional therapy reflects the close affinity with nature, resulted most probably among other things from a long history of geographic isolation. The study revealed the occurrence of at least 60 plant species utilized as medicines in Sirisurak village, as indicated by the "Sikerei". The plant parts of two or more species were mixed to cure various diseases. About 44 different mixtures were commonly used in the traditional healing to cure about 20 diseases. Diversity of medicinal plants was quite high, represented about 40% of all plant species in the study plots in Tei-tei Batti Forest Reserve near Sirisurak. Some species were found quite abundant while some others were hardly found. There are many species utilized in the traditional therapy in Sirisurak which are also traditionally used in Java, including Phyllanthus fraternus, Urena lobata, Merremia peltata, Litsea elliptica, Justicia gendarussa and Abelmoschus moschatus.

The species studied included: Ichnocarpus frutescens (hinggiu), Streptocaulon baumii (hinggiu-kalabau), Entada phaseoloides (gogo), Merremia peltata (bulakan), Anamirta cocculus (bayati), Rourea volubilis (kamagsa), Freycinetia formosana forma banahaensis (vayasubas), Freycinetia vidalii (white vine), and Freycinetia merrillii (red vine). The striking anatomical features of the vine species are the following presence/absence of growth rings, rays and sheath cells; pores extremely small to very small, almost exclusively solitary except for gogo which exhibited pore multiples; ray multiseriates ranging from 2 to 23 cells wide; and all species thin-walled. The presence of tyloses in bayati, kamagsa and bulakan and absence of rays and growth rings in the samples of genus Freycinetia are other important features that would separate them from other vine species studied.

(eds); Bogor, Biopharmaca Research Center, Bogor Agricultural University, 2004; p 63-70 Abstract: Some evidences indicating that the oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL) plays an important role in the development of artherosclerosis has led investigators to consider research on the usefulness of substances from natural resources for antioxidant activity. According to the problem, there has been increasing interest to investigate free radical scavenging capacity of extracts or compounds from natural sources. Indonesia is a country in the tropical land that has so many kinds of vegetable, fruit and medicinal plant, a good source for natural antioxidant. In the present work, the radical scavenging capacity of some Indonesian medicinal plants was measured against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) by spectrophotometric method at ? 516 nm. Result of the work gave EC50 values of methanolic extract sample rhizome of Curcuma xanthorrhiza (temulawak), Curcuma mangga (temu mangga), Curcuma heyneana , Zingiber amaricans (lempuyang pahit), Zingiber zerumbet (lempuyang gajah), Zingiber montanum (synonym Zingiber purpureum; bangle), Alpinia galanga (lengkuas) and Boesenbergia rotunda (synonym Boesenbergia pandurata; temu kunci) were 195 ±12; 634 ±9; 972 ± 48; 1142 ±6; 791 ±5 and 1343 ±19; 213 ±8 and 389 ±10; 876 ±12; 937 ±28 ppm, respectively. EC50 values of methanolic extract of Senna siamea (johar) leaves, Merremia mammosa (bidara upas) tuber, Strychnos ligustrina (bidara putih) wood and Sindora sumatrana (saprantu) fruit were: 148 ±1; 209 ±3; 239 ±8 and 432 ±2 ppm, respectively. While curcumin and rutin give EC50 values: 24 ±0.17; 19 ± 0.33 ppm, respectively. These results suggest that sample of Curcuma xanthorrhiza rhizome and Senna siamea methanolic extracts have the greatest free radical scavenging capacity against DPPH.

Intense research had been conducted on Indonesian medicinal plants in several industrial countries. Many novel bioactive were compounds with specific characters. However, not all of these bioactive compounds had correlation with the ethnobotanical data from literature survey. This information was useful for further consideration in the research on Indonesian medicinal plants.
