<![CDATA[Plant literacy among students in the Mentawai Islands is still relatively low, which raises concerns about the effectiveness of science education in this remote area. This study aims to analyze students' plant literacy and the contribution of textbook content to students' understanding of plant concepts. This study combines survey methods with textbook content analysis. A total of 302 students from three high schools in the Mentawai Islands were involved in this study, namely SMA Negeri 1 Siberut Tengah, SMA Negeri 2 Sikakap, and SMA Negeri 2 Sipora. Data were collected through a plant literacy questionnaire and an analysis of the content of biology books used in classes X, XI, and XII. The results show that students' plant literacy is generally very low. The textbooks used are insufficient in integrating plant-related content. This highlights the need to develop more relevant and comprehensive textbooks to improve students' plant literacy. It is also important to create better teaching materials to support plant literacy, especially in remote areas like the Mentawai Islands.]]>
