ABSTRAK

Purwoceng (Pimpinella pruatjan Molkenb.) merupakan tanaman Indonesia yang memiliki khasiat sebagai afrodi-

siak, diuretik dan tonik. Menurut beberapa literatur, tanaman purwoceng tumbuh hanya di daerah dataran tinggi,

mulai 1.800 sampai 3.500 meter dpl di pegunungan tertentu di Pulau Jawa, yaitu Gunung Semeru, dataran tinggi Di-

eng, dan gunung Pangrango. Saat ini sulit untuk menemukan purwoceng di alam liar, bahkan di gunung Pangrango

dilaporkan spesies ini telah punah. Tanaman ini terdaftar sebagai spesies yang terancam punah dan hampir punah

(Lampiran I) oleh Konvensi Perdagangan Internasional Spesies Langka Liar Flora dan Fauna (CITES). Setidaknya

terdapat enam aksesi purwoceng yang telah dibudidayakan di Gunung Lawu telah ditemukan yang berbeda dari

tetuanya dari Dataran Tinggi Dieng. Mengingat potensi yang sangat tinggi sekaligus untuk konservasi tanaman,

penelitian pendahuluan dilakukan untuk mempelajari hubungan purwoceng yang dikumpulkan dari empat tempat

tumbuh pada fitur morfologi. Total terdapat 91 karakter yang diperiksa dari 13 aksesi yaitu dua aksesi diperoleh

dari Ranupani BTSNP Semeru (RP1 dan RP2); enam aksesi dari Gunung Lawu (GL1, GL2, GL3, GL3, GL4, GL5 dan

GL6); tiga aksesi dari Dataran Tinggi Dieng (GD1, GD2 dan GD3); dan dua aksesi dari Gunung Putri (GP1 dan GP2).

Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan MVSP 3.1 software dan algoritma UPGMA dipergunakan untuk menghasilkan

dendogram. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua aksesi memiliki koefisien sederhana pencocokan (SSM)>

82%. Mereka membentuk tiga kelompok dengan SSM> 91%, kelompok pertama terdiri dari semua aksesi dari Gu-

nung Lawu dan aksesi dari Gunung Putri, kelompok kedua terdiri dari aksesi dari Dataran Tinggi Dieng, sedangkan

aksesi dari RanuPani TBSNP-Gunung Semeru dikelompokkan ke dalam kelompok ketiga.

ABSTRACT

Purwoceng (Pimpinella pruatjan Molkenb.) is an Indonesian plant which has medicinal properties for aphrodisi-

ac, diuretic and tonic. This plant grows only in high attitude area between 1,800 to 3,500 meters above sea level at

the certain mountains of Java Island, i.e. Mount Semeru, Dieng plateau, and mount Pangrango. Nowadays it is hard

to find P. pruatjan grows wildly, due to its high extinction. Convention on International Trading in Endangered

Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) categorized purwoceng as endangered and nearly extinct (appendix 1).

At least six accessions of cultivated P. pruatjan in Mount Lawu were found which are different from their ances-

tor from Dieng Plateau. Considering the high potential and conservation concern of the plant, the preliminary

research was conducted to study the relationship of P. pruatjan collected from four reported growth locations

based on morphological features. Ninety one of characters were examined for 13 accessions i.e. two accessions

from Ranu Pani BTSNP-mount Semeru (RP1 and RP2); six accessions from Mount Lawu (GL1, GL2, GL3, GL3, GL4,

GL5 and GL6); three accessions from Dieng Plateau (GD1, GD2 and GD3); and two accessions from Mount Putri

(GP1 and GP2). The data were analyzed using MVSP 3.1 software and UPGMA algorithm was utilized to generate

dendogram. The result showed that all accession have simple matching coefficient (SSM) >82%.

  

They formed three groups with SSM>91%, the first group consisted of all accessions from Mount Lawu and acces-

sions from Mount Putri, the second group consisted of accessions from Dieng Plateau, whereas accessions from

RanuPaniTBSNP-Mount Semeru clustered into the third group.

  Previous study on morphological and genetic variations of P. pruatjan disclosed that there are two types of P. pruatjan which have slight differences between them. The first types has green petiole and white flower and the other has purple color both its petiole and flower. Analysis using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) primers revealed that those two types had genetic variations (Widodo et al., 2012). Further elaborative investigation of the plants grown at

  with the altitude of 1.800-3.300 meters above sea level (m asl), and it grow well thrives approximately 2.000 m asl. (Rahardjo, 2005). Cultivating in area lower than 1.700 m asl will decrease productivity of the plant both quantity and quality. Purwoceng has low altitudinal adaptability (Wahyuni, 2009). Cultivating trial in areas with altitude of 600-800 m asl showed that the plant was only able to survive for three months (Darwati and Rostika, 2006).

Nowadays, the population of P. pruatjan drecrease dramatically due to a large scale of genetic erosion, even the population in West Java and Mount Pangrango mountainous area in East Java was reported to have perished (Darwati and Rostika, 2006). Research on endangered medicinal plant in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (BTSNP) indicated that P. pruatjan has been classified as

It has umbellules 4-8 flowers, and the stem is striate. The plant has strong aroma, with a thick root and numerous ascend- ing flowering stems bearing only poorly de- veloped leaves (Figure 1.)

Raw materials of medicinal plants used in that program should be standardized thus medicinal plant, as a row material of Jamu, should be standardized as well. Authentication species of medicinal plants is one of the crucial first steps to obtain standardized medicinal plants.

This preliminary groups were determine as accessions. Vegetative part (root, stem, leaf) and reproductive parts (fruits, flowers, and seeds) were observed to determine morphological features of each accession. Ninety one characters were identified.

  The accessions collected from Mount Putri (GP), Dieng Plateau (GD), Mount Lawu (GL) and Ranu Pani (RP) have highly morphological similarity. RP1 had a distinct characters compared to other accessions. It had the lowest similarity index of 76,9% to both GL2 and GL6. Based on the taxon-species concept that single individualis was considered as members of one species if it showed a similarity index of ≥70%. It was confirmable that those all accessions are still in the same species.

  Clustering analysis using UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method Using Arithmetic Mean) algorithm revealed the relationship among 13 accessions of P. pruatjan based on morphological characters (Figure 3.).

accessions using Simple MatchingMethod and UPGMA algorithm Clustering dendrogram with Simple Matching Coefficient (S SM )>91%(Table 2.), showed three groups of the accessions. Group 1 consisted of RP1 and RP2 accessions with S SM 91,2%, originating from Ranu Pani BTSNP- Mount Semeru. These accessions demontrated which had slightly distinctive morphological character to the accessions from other locations. Group 2 comprised of GD1, GD2 and GD3 with SSM 93,4%, accessions from Dieng Plateau. And group 3 clustered among GL1, GL2, GL3, GL4, GL5 GL6, GP1 and GP2, with S SM 91,2%.

  Those three groups were formed by the values of closeness between each accession. Similarity index in Table 2. were generated from 91 morphological characters. Accessions showed similarities to join the same group as group 1 and group 2. Group 3 was a combination of GL and GP accessions. Although the geographic distance between Mount Lawu and Mount Putri was far away, GL and GP accessions were the same ancestor. Both GL and GP accessions were from Dieng Plateau. They have the same characters that might be joined to the same group. Ex-situ cultivation at lower altitude than the original habitat resulted in changing of the morphological characters of the offspring.
