Abstract

The Anacardiaceae family holds significant ecological and economic value in tropical Asia, including Indonesia, as a source of fruits, timber, and valuable secondary metabolites. This study aimed to identify and describe the species diversity and morphological characteristics of Anacardiaceae in Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency. The research was conducted from December 2025 to February 2026 using a descriptive exploratory method involving field observation, specimen collection, and morphological analysis. Sampling followed the exploration method of Rugayah et al., while morphological observations were based on de Vogel and Rifai. Species identification was conducted using taxonomic literature from the Anacardiaceae series of Flora Malesiana and herbarium specimens. The results recorded five species of Anacardiaceae: Mangifera indica, Mangifera odorata, Mangifera foetida, Anacardium occidentale, and Spondias dulcis. Mangifera indica was the most dominant species, comprising seven cultivated cultivars. Species differentiation was based on vegetative and generative morphological traits, including leaf type, shape, apex, texture, inflorescence type, fruit, and seed characteristics. The findings indicate relatively high diversity of Anacardiaceae in the study area, particularly within the genus Mangifera, influenced by environmental variation and human cultivation practices.

Abstract

This research is a descriptive mixed-method ethnobotanical study aimed at identifying medicinal plants in the Oukup tradition of the Karo people based on the Index of Cultural Significance (ICS), analyzing utilization patterns, and analyzing community perspectives on their benefits and effectiveness. The research was conducted in Kabanjahe District through interviews and observations using a snowball sampling technique with 10 informants. Sixteen medicinal plant species were recorded, with the highest ICS score being ginger (50), followed by pepper (40), sappanwood (24), black ginger (20), and torch ginger (18). Plants are used in the form of rhizomes, stems, leaves, and fruits through boiling and steaming for postpartum recovery, increasing stamina, relaxing, warming the body, and reducing aches. The community positively assesses Oukup in terms of benefits, safety, and effectiveness, thus maintaining its relevance in the traditional health system and having the potential to be developed and preserved.
