Abstract

Traditional treatment is something that can not be separated from the life of the Mentawai people, especially the village of Muara Siberut South Siberut District since been entrenched in people's lives. The shift in value to knowledge about medicinal plants is beginning to be felt increasingly minimal, especially in the younger generation. This study aims to inventory medicinal plants as well as properties and how to use them, in the hamlet of Puro and Peigu hamlet, village of Muara Siberut District of South Siberut.  The research was conducted by using Survey method and interview. The results of the study found 95 species of medicinal plants from 37 families are used to treat 39 kinds of diseases. The most common species found in the Zingiberaceae family are 12 species, F. Euphorbiaceae 9 species, F.Graminae and F.Compositae 8 species, F.Araceae, F.Acanthaceae, F.Orchidaceae, F.Piperaceae, and F.Rubiaceae respectively. each 4 species. For other families each 3 types, 2 types and 1 type. Of the 95 species of plants are 23 species have been cultivated in the yard of houses, and 72 species found wild in the yard and in the forest. In its use 65 species are used in singular form and 30 species are used in the form of herbs. It can be concluded that medicinal plants in Puro and Peigu hamlets are dominated by familia Zingiberaceae, familia Euphorbiaceae, familia Graminae and familia Compositae.Keywords: Inventory, Medicinal plants, Puro hamlet, Peigu hamlet, South Siberut

Abstract

Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba [Roxb] Miq.) Is a type of wood that is fast growing and has adaptability in various habitat types. Anatomical characteristics of wood are strongly influenced by environmental factors. This study looked at the dimensions of fiber and the derivative value of jabon wood fiber from the Sialang Dharmasraya and Tabing Padang regions. This research is a descriptive research. Observation of fiber dimensions using wood maceration techniques following the Forest Products Laboratory Method. The results showed that the value of wood fiber dimensions from the Sialang area was higher than those from the Tabing area. In Sialang it has wood fiber length of 603.82-1061.23µm, fiber diameter of 12.37-21.22µm, lumen diameter of 3.81-12.97µm, and wall thickness of 2.75-7.49µm. Whereas, in the Tabing area it has wood fiber length of 592.91-844.38µm, fiber diameter 11.80-20.35µm, lumen diameter 6.14-14.35m, and wall thickness of 1.91-4.54µm. The derivative value of jabon Tabing wood fiber is higher (runkel ratio 0.63-0.62, felting power 41.49-50.25, flexibility ratio 0.70-0.52, coefficient of rigidity 0.22-0.16 and mulsteph ratio 50.27-72.92%) compared to Sialang area (runkel ratio 1.15-1.44, felting power 50.01-48.81, flexibility ratio 0.61-0.30, coefficient of rigidity 0.35-0.22, and mulsteph ratio 62.64 to 90.51%). The quality value of jabon wood fiber at Tabing is better than Sialang. The results of this study can be used as information in jabon wood cultivation.
