Abstract

Amorphophallus is a protected and endangered plant. Some Amorphophallus species can only grow in certain environmental conditions. Differences in environmental conditions could cause differences in morphology and distribution of Amorphophallus. This study aimed to obtain the morphological characteristics of Amorphophallus and study the distribution of its population at several altitudes in Mount Poteng, Raya Pasi Nature Reserve, West Kalimantan. The study used an exploratory survey following the river's flow at the Raya Pasi Nature Reserve, especially in Mount Poteng. The results found three species of Amorphophallus: Amorphophallus borneensis (109 individuals), Amorphophallus gigas (9 individuals), and Amorphophallus hewittii (27 individuals), showing clustered distribution patterns with a Morista index of > 1. The similarity index of six comparisons for each altitude showed five altitudes with similar categories and one altitude with a very different category. The results revealed that the Amorphophallus distribution positively correlated with air temperature and soil temperature but negatively correlated with air humidity. However, all correlations were weak. The morphological differences of the three Amorphophallus species were in the forms of the stem pattern, stem height, and fruit shape. The distribution of Amorphophallus can be found at an altitude of 200 − > 500 masl, which is not far from the river flow. Keywords: altitude, Amorphophallus, Mount Poteng, Raya Pasi Nature Reserve

Abstract

Litsea garciae Vidal, commonly known as engkala, is an endemic medicinal plant of Borneo with promising pharmacological potential. Vegetative propagation through shoot cuttings is a practical alternative to overcome the challenges of seed-based propagation. This study investigated the effects of cutting material source (seedlings and saplings) and soaking duration in 50% Rootone-F (0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes) on the rooting and shoot growth of L. garciae shoot cuttings. A factorial experiment with a completely randomized design was applied, involving ten treatment combinations with five replications each. Results showed that cuttings derived from seedlings achieved 100% survival and rooting rates regardless of Rootone-F treatment. In contrast, sapling cuttings achieved optimal rooting only after 15 minutes of soaking. The interaction of cutting source and soaking duration significantly influenced root development, while shoot growth varied only with individual treatments. Notably, seedling cuttings produced roots that were 1.3 times longer than those from sapling cuttings; however, the dry weight of sapling roots was 1.5 times greater. The dry weight of roots soaked in Rootone-F for 15 minutes significantly increased by 1.3 to 2.8 times compared to the dry weight of roots soaked for other durations. The seedling cuttings produced 1.2 times more shoots than saplings. Interestingly, cuttings without soaking treatment in Rootone-F produced the same number of new leaves as those soaked for 60 minutes but significantly more than those soaked for other durations. These results are vital for optimizing the vegetative propagation technique of L. garciae by selecting the appropriate cutting source and timing for Rootone-F immersion.
