JENIS-JENIS ARACEAE DI HUTAN WISATA DAN CAGAR ALAM PLAWANGAN - TURGO YOGYAKARTA
Abstract: Mount Merapi since
1006 until now still erupting actively. Every three years erupting hot clouds
and lava heat (Drajat et al., 1994; Sukandarrumidi & Sudibyakto , 1994).
Location of Mount Merapi in Yogyakarta with a climate transition from wet to
dry (West Java - East Java). Mountain with physical environment, chemical, and
biotic, different than other volcanoes in Indonesia (Backer & Bakhuizen van
den Brink, 1968; Whitten et al., 1996). Inventarization the species of plants
is very important to do, especially as the floristic composition of the
vegetation resources Araceae. The purpose of this study to identify the types
of plants of Araceae on certain limits in Nature Reserve Plawangan-Turgo, South
slope of Mount Merapi. The study was conducted by the survey method in the
southern slopes of Mount Merapi at an altitude of 900-1.275 m.dpl. Collection
of plants of Araceae made a herbarium. Sample identified in Plant Taxonomy
laboratories, Biology UGM. Identification is based on morphological
characteristics using identification books, revision, flora, and atlases to
species level. There are 10 types Araceae, which are grouped in 7 Genus, namely
: Aglaonema simplex BI., Alocasia heterophylla Merr., Arisaema filiforme BI.,
Colocasia antiquorum Schott , Colocasia gigantea (BI) Hook.f., Rhaphidophora
montana (BI) Schott, Schismatoglottis rupestris Zoll., Scindapsus hederaceus
(Z&M)Miq., Scindapsus perakensis Hook.f., Scindapsus sp. Commonly, Araceae
have habitus vines with or without the rhizome. This is because habitat
conditions are shaded canopy of large trees that routine 3-5 years exposed as a
result of the burning hot clouds of Mount Merapi.
