Abstract

Sodong Village has developed the Sodong Educational Tourism area based on agribusiness, but the potential floral diversity in the area has not yet been scientifically documented. This study aims to: (1) inventory the flora species in Sodong Educational Tourism along with their taxonomic classification and morphological characteristics; (2) analyze the pattern of flora utilization by the community; (3) examine their ecological roles; and (4) analyze the potential of floral species diversity as capital for developing botanical educational tourism. The method employed was the cruise method, which utilized a descriptive exploratory approach, incorporating field observations, morphological documentation, semi-structured interviews with managers and community members, and a literature review. Data were tabulated based on taxonomy, habitus, morphology, utilization, and ecological roles. The results found 27 flora species from 17 families, dominated by Cucurbitaceae (4 species), followed by Solanaceae and Myrtaceae (3 species each). The flora is divided into seasonal horticultural plants and annual fruit plants (creeping/upright herbs, shrubs, to trees). The community utilizes this flora as a source of food, traditional medicine, handicraft materials, and economic commodities. Ecologically, the flora functions as a pollinator attractor (confirmed through field observation literature), ground cover (soil preservation), microclimate shade provider, and fauna feed provider. This taxonomic, morphological, utilization, and ecological diversity proves that Sodong Edu-Tourism has potential as a resource for developing an educational and botanical conservation area.

Abstract

The botanical diversity found in Indonesia is contrasted by the country’s dependency on imported foodstuffs. This paper aims to conduct an ethnobotanical survey of local food plants found in Banten Province, Indonesia, and develop a pedagogical reconstruction concept model that incorporates TEK into biology lessons at secondary and tertiary levels. An ethnobotanical survey of local food plants was carried out in March to May 2026 in the coastal, lowland agroforestry, and highland ecosystems of Pandeglang, Lebak, Serang, and Cilegon regions. Data were gathered using purposeful sampling through field observations, specimen collection, semi-structured interviews involving 45 local informants (elderlies, farmers, and indigenous community leaders), and secondary literature validation. Species recorded were identified taxonomically using Plants of the World Online (POWO) database and categorized in core biological subjects within TPACK framework. The ethnobotanical survey revealed 32 species of local food plants belonging to 7 functional groups. Some of the important findings include the underexploitation of valuable functional species like Xanthosoma undipes (Taro Beneng; starch 80.6%, GI 48) and Sonneratia caseolaris (Pedada), as well as species requiring conservation efforts, like Garcinia dulcis (Mundu) and Baccaurea racemosa (Jatake). The cyanogenic detoxification of Dioscorea hispida and the Leuit post-harvesting storage practice of indigenous people were conceptually linked to biochemistry, plant physiology, ecology, and taxonomy lessons. In order to translate traditional knowledge into a form compatible with contemporary digital learning, the framework considers the use of future AI-supported smart identification through the use of the Pl@ntNet API.
