Abstract

Asteraceae has many species and pollen shape varies. Pollen becomes one of the characteristics of the species and data on the morphological characteristics of pollen can help taxonomic data. This study aimed to determine the morphological character of pollen from four species of the Asteraceae. Pollen from Tridax procumbens, Tagetes erecta, Zinnia angustifolia, and Z. elegans was taken from the flower and smeared on a glass object and then dripped with distilled water. Fresh preparations were observed with a fluorescens microscope. The pollen shapes of the four species had monad prolate spheroidal (T. erecta, Z. elegans), monad subsphreoidal (Tr. procumbens), and monad oblate-spheroidal (Z. Angustifolia). Zinnia angustifolia had microechinate pollen ornamentation while another species had echinate pollen ornamentation. The four species had aperture varies, i.e tricolpate (T. erecta, Z. elegans), tetracolporate (Tr. procumberns), and monocolpate (Z. Angustifolia). Tagetes erecta had the biggest diameter pollen (51,405 µm) than the pollen diameter of another species (30,618-36,043 µm). Pollen morphology could differentiate of the four species Asteraceae members.

Abstract

The community of Legok Raina Village in Bogor Regency, West Java, continues to rely on medicinal plants for daily healthcare practices. This study aimed to inventory and identify medicinal plant species and document the plant parts used, preparation methods, therapeutic functions, and ailments treated, as no previous research has been conducted in this area. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with one traditional healer (tabib), two traditional birth attendants (paraji), and 27 general respondents selected by community leaders, complemented by plant specimen collection, observation, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the Use Value (UV) index to determine the relative importance of each species. A total of 104 species belonging to 93 genera and 46 families were recorded, with Zingiberaceae as the most dominant family, comprising 12 species from 8 genera. Shrubs represented the most common growth form (39 species), and leaves were the most frequently utilized plant part. Ageratum conyzoides showed the highest UV (1.760), whereas Lactuca sativa, Piper sarmentosum, and Kadsura scandens had the lowest (0.003). Approximately 60% of respondents continue to preserve ancestral knowledge and actively participate in conservation efforts. These findings highlight the cultural and therapeutic significance of traditional medicinal plants in the study area.
