Abstract

This study analyzes the ethnobotanical utilization of medicinal plants in West Sumatra based on the traditional Minangkabau territorial systems (Darek, Rantau, and Pesisir) and examines its implications for contextual science education. A mixed descriptive–quantitative ethnobotanical approach was employed involving 240 key informants (105 from Darek, 90 from Rantau, and 45 from Pesisir) selected through purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected using structured interviews, participatory observation, and species documentation. Quantitative ethnobotanical indices, including Use Value (UV) and Fidelity Level (FL), were applied. The results identified 38 medicinal plant species from 24 families. Curcuma longa (UV=0.88), Zingiber officinale (UV=0.84), and Tinospora crispa (UV=0.81) were the most culturally important species. High FL values were observed for Andrographis paniculata in fever treatment (92.1%) and Curcuma longa for digestive disorders (89.6%), indicating strong cultural reliability. The findings demonstrate that Minangkabau ethnobotanical knowledge is territorially structured, culturally transmitted, and empirically reliable. This study provides a scientific foundation for the development of ethnoscience-based science learning resources, supporting contextual learning, scientific literacy, and cultural preservation in Indonesian secondary education

Abstract

Nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum L.) is a key coastal species with both ecologyl and economic importance. The tree, is highly recommended for coastal zone restoration, but availability of the seeds and seedlings is less known.This study aimed to investigate flowering/fruiting phenology as well as natural regeneration availability across different in coastal zone of  Padang Pariaman Regency. Weekly phenological observations and regeneration stock measurement were conducted from September to December 2025i, with 34 observed trees in the sites that ranged from ;ow to high land use level. Results showed that most trees were found flowering in September, but it was declined following the increasing of fruiting event at mid to end of October and number of the fruiting trees were declined until end of December. These flowering and fruiting phenology among the landuse types showed a similar pattern with only little variation. In general 0.12 seedlings/m², while tourism areas showed the lowest 0.03 seedlings/m² in the highest disturbed. And is was negatively correlated with distance fron the mother tree(p0.05). This study a range of flowering and fruiting phenology in Padang Pariaman Coastal areas with small variation of the phenology between landuse types, as well as variation in regeneration stock of C. inophyllum across the areas.

Abstract

Nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum L.) is a coastal plant species that plays an important ecological role in protecting coastal areas from abrasion, reduce the impact of sea winds, and maintain the stability of coastal environments, while the tree is economically potential as vegetable oil sources for biodiesel. In Padang Pariaman Regency, Nyamplung is also knows as Pinago, the trees are found growing in the coastal areas, both naturally and through planting, but it is still remain unknown the current spatial distribution and the local habitat conditions. This study aimed to investigate the spatial distribution and habitat characteristics of Nyamplung in the coastal area of Padang Pariaman Regency. Field observations were conducted for recording coordinates location of each Nyamplung tree, measuring the diameter at breast height (DBH) and canopy cover, and determining habitat characteristics. The spatial distribution  was analyzed using ArcGIS, while the habitat conditions and the population structure were analyzed in terms of linear regression. The results showed that Nyamplung was distributed partly or clustered at three specific site in  the coastline. Most of the site was sandy habitat with very thin layer of top soil and the trees were moslty exposed to full sunlight. The trees were varied in size, ranged from 2-62 cm dbh, with crown cover ranged from 5-600 m2, and these two variables were positively correlated. This study showed a limited number of Nyamplung trees in the coastal of Padang Pariaman, with less damage of community to canopy. Planting of Nyamplung in this area for a wider positive impact.
