Abstract

The Gayo Highlands communities use Asteraceae species in traditional medicine to treat various ailments. This study aimed to document the ethnopharmacological use of Asteraceae and assess community knowledge regarding their medicinal applications. Data were collected from 48 respondents across eight sub-districts using purposive sampling and structured questionnaires. The study identified 10 Asteraceae species used to treat 10 diseases, including diabetes mellitus (DM), cancer, hypertension, liver disorders, common cold, bloating, cough, fever, toothache, and skin itching. Leaves were the most frequently used plant organ (95.96%), mainly from wild plants growing near home yards or abandoned land. Approximately 81.25% of respondents reported using Asteraceae to manage DM. Standard preparation methods included boiling and pounding, with the leaves of Erigeron sumatrensis Retz being the most widely recognized and utilized for the treatment of DM and cancer. The community’s preference for these plants is attributed to their availability, perceived safety, and efficacy. This study highlights the significant ethnopharmacological potential of Asteraceae in the Gayo Highlands and provides a basis for further pharmacological investigations, particularly on E. sumatrensis.

Abstract

Lake Laut Tawar is a volcanic lake possessing high ecological significance and supporting the livelihoods of surrounding communities. Phenological analysis provides an essential framework for understanding plant reproductive characteristics, including inflorescence types, fruit morphology, and seed dispersal strategies. However, comprehensive information regarding the phenological traits of flora in the Lake Laut Tawar ecosystem remains limited. This study aimed to identify flower and fruit types and evaluate the diversity of plant reproductive strategies in the vegetation surrounding Lake Laut Tawar, Central Aceh Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative field survey was conducted using transect-based observations covering 48 plant families, involving species identification and documentation of floral and fruit characteristics. The results revealed that cymose inflorescences and capsule fruits were the dominant reproductive forms, while additional inflorescence types included racemose structures, and fruit types comprised drupe, berry, legume, achene, caryopsis, and polydrupe. These findings indicate diverse adaptive reproductive strategies associated with environmental conditions, pollination mechanisms, and seed dispersal interactions. The observed phenological diversity contributes to vegetation regeneration, supports faunal population stability, and enhances ecosystem resilience and landscape aesthetics. This study provides baseline scientific data to support flora conservation planning and sustainable ecosystem management in the Lake Laut Tawar region.
