"Gonatopus boivinii (Decne.) Engl., or 'Giraffe's Knees', is a unique plant belonging to the araceae family. The genus Gonatopus comprises five species, all of which are endemic to tropical and subtropical south eastern Africa. Amongst the species, G. boivinii is held in the collections of many botanical gardens in the world including the Bogor Botanic Gardens, Indonesia. Gonatopus ids often mistakenly named as an Amorphophallus species, due to the close similarities in appearance of the leaf of the two genera. G. boivinii was at one time recorded in the collection of the Bogor Botanic Gardens, having been documented in the garden's cataloque for the year 1930 and 1957 as planted in location Vak 11.B. VIII.152. Subsequently, the apparent loss of the species had been uncertain until recently, when G. boivinii was again found growing in another location, in Kenari Avenue 1, I.E. IN vak Z of the Gardens. The finding of the species has been reported to the Garden Registration. It is registered as a spontaneous in the garden's collection."

"ABSTRAKEpipremnum pinnatum (L.) Engl. belongs to the Araceae family. The extract of E. Pinnatum produced a significant growth inhibition againts breast tumer cells, uterus cancer and others. Preliminary study of cytotoxicity using P338 (murine lymphocytic cells) showed significant result. Investigation of several villagers in West Sumatera who cured from cancer is reported. "

"ABSTRACTThe genus Amydrium belongs to the Araceae family, consists of five species that is A. hainanense H.Li, Y.Shiao & S.L. Tseng, A. sinense (Engl.) H.Li, A. humile Schott, A. medium (Zoll. & Moritzi) Nicolson and A. zippelianum (Schott) Nicolson. The last three species are found in Indonesia whereas the first two species occurs in Vietnam and China. Amydrium humile is found restrictly in Sumatera and Malay Peninsula and considered rare in the wild due to habitat loss by human activities. Bearing no flowers on its climbing shoot A. humile is unique among other member of the genera. The species is collected from Regist 9B Seminung, Mount Lumbok Seminung Protected Forest, West Lampung Regency and cultivated in Bogor Botanic Gardens. "

"ABSTRAKSauromatum and Typhonium are two genera belonging to the Araceae family. The genera have similarities in morphology. Since the genera were erected by Schott in 1832, they have often been reduced to one genus, i.e. Typhonium, by many taxonomists, only to be separated again by others. This dispute has now been resolved after research on chlorophast and DNA molecular sequences, conducted in 2010 by Cusimano et al. This research demonstrated that the two genera do differ significantly. Therefore, they should be separated taxonomically, as Typhonium and Sauromatum. Soon after the publication of this research, the name Sauromatum horsfieldii was restored, replacing Typhonium horsfieldii which now is reduced to status of a synonym."

"Pistia stratiotes L., is well known as water lettuce or 'kiambang kecil', belongs to the Araceae family. It is a monotypic genus. This free-floating plant aquatic distributed in tropical and sub-tropical country worldwide. It has been used in various purposes such as ornamental water plant, medicines (for the treatment of eczema, leprosy, ulcers, piles, stomach disorder, throat and mouth inflammation, a few to mention), bioindicator, bioremediation, purification and forage. On the otherhand, this species is quickly spread and form a dense mat that can cover an entire body of water thus can have negative impacts on native aquatic plants and fish. It is also host of mosquitoes."
