Metusala D, Fauziah, Lestari DA, Damaiyani J, Mas’udah S, Setyawan H. 2020. The identification of plant reliefs in the Lalitavistara story of Borobudur temple, Central Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 2206-2215. The Lalitavistara sutra is one of the central texts in the Mahayana tradition and it describes the life of the Buddha. This sutra has been carved in a good detail into 120 relief panels. These reliefs showed many plant figures that have often been carved in proper shape, so that made it possible for identification. The identification results showed that there were at least 63 species of plants in the Lalitavistara relief at Borobudur and these more various than species mentioned in the Lalitavistara sutra. Some species even only be found on reliefs but not in the text. These findings have indicated several important points; (i). the ancient Javanese community at that time already had a high awareness of the plant diversity, (ii). the plant figures as component in building atmosphere/background have been used by the carver as an opportunity for improvisation, (iii). the plant reliefs in Borobudur can be seen to reflect the surrounding plant diversity at the time, and (iv). the identification of plant reliefs in Borobudur can be used as an approach to understand the perspective of an ancient Javanese community on the importance of plant diversity. Keywords: Borobudur, Lalitavistara, plant diversity, relief INTRODUCTION to human life (Rohyani 2004; Istari 2015). Plant diversity usually provides benefits as cultural and important values The Borobudur Temple is the largest Buddhist temple to people’s communities (Helida et al. 2015). The other in the world and one of the important cultural achievements studies showed that the relief of the Borobudur temple in ancient Javanese period. The stone wall reliefs of this depicts the daily activities of the ancient Javanese community temple illustrate some of the most important stories in the (Kempers et al. 1974; Setyawan and Kasatriyanto 2019). Buddhist tradition that cannot be found anywhere else Therefore, identifying and analyzing the plant figures that except in Borobudur (Anandadjoti 2017). appeared in relief could provide important information The monument was built by the Syailendra Dynasty about the relationship between plants and local community between 778 to 824 AD, located in Magelang, in the at that time. southern part of Central Java-Indonesia (Gunarto 2011). There are several previous studies that have observed Borobudur was put on the UNESCO World Heritage list in the plant and animal figures appeared in Borobudur reliefs 1991 with serial number 592 (Susilo and Suroso 2014). The (Cammerloher 1931; Brink 1931; Steinman 1934; Sunaryo Borobudur temple is used as the main source of history and 2010; Setyawan and Kasatriyanto 2019). However, most of culture in Indonesia and is valued as an extraordinary those previous studies are only pick some of relief figures cultural heritage nowadays (Miksic and Tranchini 1990; as few purposive samples and without comparison analysis Hermawan et al. 2016). The decoration of Borobudur to the religious text as the source of inspiration. Perhaps, temple has 2,672 relief panels consisting of decorative and there is still no comprehensive identification study narrative relief which narrate the story of the Buddha. In covering all plant figures appeared in every relief story in addition, also there are 504 Buddha statues and various Borobudur. A total of 1460 story relief panels of stupas. The Borobudur temple was built consisting of five Borobudur temple range from Kamadhatu to Rupadhatu square terraces on a pyramidal base, three circular (from the foot of the temple until the body of the temple). platforms in the middle part, and on the top with a dome as These 1460 relief panels are divided into five, based on the the highest point (Setyawan 2017). texts that are their source, namely Karmawibhangga, Relief of Borobudur is rich in human anatomical forms, Lalitavistara, Jataka, Avadana, and Gandavyuha. Among plant and animal figures, also form of environmental these five stories in Borobudur, Lalitavistara is containing components such as water, cloud, and stones (Hidayanto the fewest number of reliefs (120 panels). Lalitavistara 2014; Anandadjoti 2017). The tree or plant figures in relief reliefs depict the life of the Buddha, from his life in Tusita have been carved specifically because they may be related heaven up to his awakening and first teachings (Gunarto METUSALA et al. – Plant reliefs in the Lalitavistara story of Borobudur temple, Indonesia 2207 2011; Leouw 2012; Anandadjoti 2017). Therefore, Procedures Lalitavistara can be an ideal preliminary model in studying Inventory and documentation of plant figures in plant relief in Borobudur. Therefore, the aim of this study Lalitavistara relief, Borobudur temple was to identify the diversity of plant figures carved on all The inventory of plant figures in Lalitavistara relief, 120 panels of Lalitavistara reliefs. Borobudur temple used direct observation of the reliefs to document the details of flora species encountered (Figure 2.A). The data documentation technique was carried out by MATERIALS AND METHODS direct photography of the Lalitavistara relief panel (Figure Study area 2.B).

Using Modified Murashige and Skoog Medium on Callus Explant Dwie Retna Suryaningsih*, Sri Arijanti Prakoeswa and Ribkahwati Faculty of Agriculture, University of Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Received 3rd February 2015/ Accepted 30th June 2015 Abstract. Jasmine (Jasminum sambac L.) is a flowering plant that grows in shrub form. Jasmine flowers have been extensively used as ornamental and for the production of fragrances, flowers, tea and essential oils. The amount of essential oil that can be collected from jasmine petals is very small relative to the material required, but is valued as the raw material for natural perfume and aromatherapy treatments. This study attempted to improve propagation from explant to manipulate essential jasmine oil production. Modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, produced from carbohydrate precursor compounds (MS + 20 % fructose, MS + 20 % glucose and MS + 20 % sucrose), was used to produce explants from young leaves and calluses. Essential oil (benzyl acetate and jasmine) content was highest in jasmine explant calluses grown on MS + 20 % sucrose. The content of benzyl acetate reached 1.27 % and jasmone content reached 1.15 % in 12 weeks old calluses. Keywords: Benzyl acetate, Explant, Jasminum sambac L., Jasmone, Precursor. INTRODUCTION Jasmine (Jasminum sambac L.) is an ornamental plant metabolites induced from calluses can be improved by extensively used in perfumery and religious purposes, a shrub changing the content of the components in the tissue herb which produces white flowers with a very pleasant culture medium or by adding precursor compounds into the fragance (Davallo, 2014).

INTRODUCTION The importance of the preservation of the tropical rainforest is discussed all over the world (e.g. 1972 Stockholm Conference, 1975 Helsinki Conference, 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, and the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development). Tropical rainforest has been recognized as one of the main elements for maintaining climatic conditions, for the prevention of impoverishment of human societies and for the maintenance of biodiversity, since they support an immense richness of life (Withmore, 1990). In addition sustainable management of the environment and elimination of absolute poverty are included as the 21 st Century most important challenges embedded in the Millennium Development Goals. The forest of Southeast Asia constitutes, after the South American, the second most extensive rainforest formation in the world. The archipelago of tropical Southeast Asia is one of the world's great reserves of biodiversity and endemism. This holds true for The Philippines in particular: it is one of the most important “biodiversity hotspots” .1.

  • Plataran Borobudur Encounter
    PLATARAN BOROBUDUR ENCOUNTER ABOUT THE DESTINATION Plataran Borobudur Resort & Spa is located within the vicinity of ‘Kedu Plain’, also known as Progo River Valley or ‘The Garden of Java’. This fertile volcanic plain that lies between Mount Sumbing and Mount Sundoro to the west, and Mount Merbabu and Mount Merapi to the east has played a significant role in Central Javanese history due to the great number of religious and cultural archaeological sites, including the Borobudur. With an abundance of natural beauty, ranging from volcanoes to rivers, and cultural sites, Plataran Borobudur stands as a perfect base camp for nature, adventure, cultural, and spiritual journey. BOROBUDUR Steps away from the resort, one can witness one the of the world’s largest Buddhist temples - Borobudur. Based on the archeological evidence, Borobudur was constructed in the 9th century and abandoned following the 14th-century decline of Hindu kingdoms in Java and the Javanese conversion to Islam. Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, then the British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians. Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur is one of Indonesia’s most iconic tourism destinations, reflecting the country’s rich cultural heritage and majestic history. BOROBUDUR FOLLOWS A remarkable experience that you can only encounter at Plataran Borobudur. Walk along the long corridor of our Patio Restaurants, from Patio Main Joglo to Patio Colonial Restaurant, to experience BOROBUDUR FOLLOWS - where the majestic Borobudur temple follows you at your center wherever you stand along this corridor.

Rajapaksha1, C. de Alwis1 1Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka, 762/A, Yatihena, Malwana, Sri Lanka 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Larval food plants (LFPs) of Sri Lankan butterflies are poorly documented in the historical literature and there is a great need to identify LFPs in conservation perspectives. Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination. Introduction Butterflies go through complete metamorphosis 1949). As all herbivorous insects show some and have two stages of food consumtion.

    Research Paper Scientific Insights in the Preparation and Characterisation of a Lead-based Naga Bhasma S. NAGARAJAN1,2, S. KRISHNASWAMY2, BRINDHA PEMIAH2,3, K. S. RAJAN1,2, UMAMAHESWARI KRISHNAN1,2, AND S. SETHURAMAN1,2* 1Centre for Nanotechnology and Advanced Biomaterials, 2School of Chemical and Biotechnology, 3Centre for Advanced Research in Indian System of Medicine, Sastra University, Thanjavur‑613 401, India Nagarajan, et al.: Science of Preparation of Naga Bhasma Naga bhasma is one of the herbo-metallic preparations used in Ayurveda, a traditional Indian System of Medicine. The preparation of Naga bhasma involves thermal treatment of ‘Naga’ (metallic lead) in a series of quenching liquids, followed by reaction with realgar and herbal constituents, before calcination to prepare a fine product. We have analysed the intermediates obtained during different stages of preparation to understand the relevance and importance of different steps involved in the preparation. Our results show that ‘Sodhana’ (purification process) removes heavy metals other than lead, apart from making it soft and amenable for trituration.
