Abstract

Annonaceae is one of the most important and economically valuable plant families in Malesia region. Taxonomical studies could contribute to further utilization and conservation of the studied taxa. Due to their importance, an update in the morphological characters and taxanomical position of Annonaceae is required. This study aims to characterize the taxonomical position and relationships of 24 species belongs to the family Annonaceae found in the Purwodadi Botanic Gardens. In this work, we reported the taxonomical position and the phenetic clustering of 24 Annonaceae species collected from the Purwodadi Botanic Garden, East Java, Indonesia. The taxonomical study was performed based on morphological and phenetic approach where 81 characters (leaves, stem, and flower) were used in the analysis. A dendogram was produced following the scoring of the character using statistical program PAST ver. 3.0. (Hierarchial Cluster Analysis using Jukes Cantor Similarity approach). The  dendogram showed clear separation between members of sub-family Annonoideae and Malmeoideae; however Alphonsea javanica and Sageraea lanceolata were not grouped into their respective tribe or sub-family. Further studies are required to evaluate these taxonomical separations. Overall, from the 24 studied species, we found that they grouped into 2 sub-family (Annonoideae and Malmeoideae), 3 tribes (Annoneae, Miliuseae, and Uvarieae), and 13 genus (Alphonsea, Annona, Desmos, Fissistigma, Miliusa, Mitrephora, Orophea, Polyalthia, Popowia, Pseuduvaria, Sageraea, Stelechocarpus, dan Uvaria).

Abstract

Indonesia is one of mega biodiverse countries in the world, with a high global biodiversity index and many vascular plant species. However, not all plant species are known in terms of their uses, potential benefits, and conservation status. One of example is genus Etlingera, where further studies are required. Therefore, this study aimed to provide information on the potential benefits and uses of the genus Etlingera and to investigate its conservation status. The study was conducted using the method of literature study, an inventory of potential uses, and an inventory of the genus Etlingera living in Bogor Botanic Gardens through direct observation. Six species of the genus Etlingera were collected from the Bogor Botanic Gardens, namely Etlingera brevilabrum, E. elatior, E. hemisphaerica, E. loerzingii, E. megalocheilos, and E. walang, conservation status of three species (E. brevilabrum, E. hemisphaerica, and E. megalocheilos) is Least Concern (LC), two species (E. elatior and E. walang) are Data Deficient (DD), and one species (E. loerzingii) is Vulnerable (VU). All species are commonly used as spices, condiments, cosmetics, and traditional medicine to cure various diseases, possibly also as ornamental plants. The secondary metabolites present in some species, namely E. brevilabrum, E. elatior, and E. hemisphaerica can be used as antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant agents.
