Abstract: Experiment to show influence of Phaeomeria sp rhizome extract treatment to germantion of soybean and
green peanut had been done at Laboratory of plant ecology, Biology Department, Faculty of Science, University of
Sriwijaya, Indralaya, South Sumatera, Indonesia during February 2008. Data analysis shows that Phaeomeria sp had
potency on herbicide, ornamental and medicinal plant.

INTRODUCTION

ingiberaceae family members have been known by
Z
South East Asian peoples as spices and medicinal plants. The famous species of them were Curcuma

domestica, Alpinia galanga, Zingiber officinale, and
Costus speciosus. Phaeomeria or Nicolaia or Etlingia , is a genus of Zingiberaceae that have not known
much yet, because of their living in the forest. Some
of them known because of the form,colour and size
of flower; Phaeomeria speciosa or Etlingia elatior or
Nicolaia speciosa.
In South Sumatera forest, there is a member of
Phaeomeria living with specific character; the leaves
is two colours, green on upper side and red underneath. Form of rhizome, stem, leaves and flower just
like Phaeomeria speciosa. Peoples near of forest sometime use the rhizome for medicinal needs, liniment.
They said that the rhizome has specific smell and
make skin become hot after use as liniment. According
to ARS Systematic Botanist, Etlingera/Phaeomeria is
a member of Zingiberaceae family, Alpinioideae subfamily, and Alpinieae tribe[1] . Figure 1 show these
plant leaves, flower, rhizome and small shoot planted
at home.
To show the potency of these plant, in this research
we use the extract of rhizome as treatment to germination of soybean and green peanut (Glycine max &
Phaseolus radiatus). Usage of plants extract as germination test have been conducted by lot of botanist;
extract of pine nidles has known inhibit the radicle

growth of soybean[2] .

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Rhizome cut and grind and extracted by filtering and
made solution with concentration 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%,
by adding aquadest. Ten of soybean seeds placed in
a plastic dish with a piece of filter paper. Each treatc 2010 FMIPA Universitas Sriwijaya

ment was replicated 6 times. Let the germination
process during 4 days under dark condition (in the
laboratory bench), and the percentage of germination
and length of radicle measured then. Data processed
by analysis of variance (F test) to find wether treatments influence the germination percentage and length
of radicle. The same test also done to greenpeanut
seeds with concentration of rhizome extract; 0%, 7%,

12.5%, and 18%.

DAFTAR PUSTAKA

[2]

[3]

Statistical analysis for above data through analysis
of variance at degree of error 5% should be seen at

last page. It is shown that treatments influenced the
percentage of germination.
The above data show that extract of Phaeomeria
rhizome could inhibite germination of soybean and
green peanut seeds. Marisa[2] has reported that extract of pine nidles also inhibited the germination process of soybean. It is mean that rhizome of Phaemorea
has a potency for bioactive like herbicide.
Ornamental; search of cybernet had found that a
company from New Zealand, Russell Fransham (exotic
and unusual plants landscaping commercial and retail, Clements Road, Matapouri Bay RD 3, Wangarei)
sell lot of exotic flower plants , included Phaeomeria/Nicolaia. They sold it at $ 20 USD/pot[3] . So,
because our plant has two colour of leaves, might be it
should more expensive than Russell Fransham plant.
It is mean, beside it had chemical bioactive potency,
but ornamental potency too.
Medicinalplant; furthermore, because of poeples
near of forest use it as liniment, mean Phaeomeria sp
with two color of leaves had the potency on medicinal

SUMMARY


Phaeomeria sp that living in south sumatera, with
two color leaves (green and red) had some potency
as economic plant, herbicidal, ornamental and medicinal plant. Culture of these plants and further study
should be made.

thing. Deeper research could be made by pharmacologs about it. For a while, Anonymous[4] reported
that Phaeomeria speciosa has some chemical content
like saponin, flavonoid, and polyphenol. Culture of
Phaeomeria should be done by planting the rhizome,
because if we plant their seeds, it needs 2 years duration for germination[5] .
