Becc. ex Arcang (the giant corpse flower) has always attracted world-wide attention, especially from people involved in the plant sciences. However, the characteristics of its reproductive biology have challenged efforts to cultivate and domesticate the plant. The species rarely produces fruit/seeds because the male and female flowers do not mature simultaneously. The success of pollination, as indicated by subsequent fruit production, depends on the interaction between insects and the mature male and female flowers from different individual plants. Therefore this study on crosshand pollination to produce seeds is very important to support the ex-situ conservation efforts of this species in collections. Based on observation, flowering of the species occurs at least once every three year. An inflorescence of A. titanum which opened in Bogor Botanic Gardens on 2 February 2012 was pollinated manually using (stored) pollen t...

But now transportation is easier after becoming a maritime tourism destination for the international community and traditional influences turn out to be modern as is the use of traditional medicine. Traditional knowledge about medicines still relies naturally on utilizing medicinal plants. This study aims to explore the potential of medicinal plants in the Warsamdin community, Waigeo Island, West Papua for generations. The method used by interviewing indigenous elders known as Old Man is either the local name of a medicinal plant, how to use it and as a traditional medicine and traced the morphology of the plant species. Local names are some commonly used species, namely Min ikanu (Morinda citryfolia), Kanaul leaves (Hibiscus sp), Deawas (Psidium guava), red fruit (Pandanus conoideus), Kokanu kaluku, Kiom ikanui, Umare ukani, Bim ikani, Wit ikani , Kokanu matalu.

Hallier f.) and Asam Paya (Eleiodoxa conferta (Griff.) Burret only used as an ingredient in food or eaten directly without prior processing. In Sambas Regency for example, local residents cooking fruit of Asam Kalimbawan and Asam Paya still raw to be sweetmeat. Where processed sweets are found in the local market, sold as a source of side income. Asam Kalimbawan similar to star fruit as genus Sarcotheca belong to family Oxalidaceae and Asam Paya is a kind of wild snake fruit belong to family Arecaceae that have very sour fruit flavors. Traditionally, the consumption of fruit flesh of Asam Kalimbawan and Asam Paya which contains antioxidant compounds can maintain immunity. Both of these fruits grow wild in the forests around water sources and swamps in Sambas, West Kalimantan. These plants are adaptive in highly water content and usually grow associate with nipa, pandanus, and sago. As an alternative food, Asam Kalimb...
