Group Semar’s bag (Nepenthes) plants in Indonesia is categorized as the most rare, one species that require high priority to be conserved.
Nepenthes or the Latin name Nepenthes sp. was first introduced by JP Breyne in the year 1689. In Indonesia, the term for these plants vary between regions with each other. Communities in Riau know this plant as a pot with a monkey, in Jambi called monkey bag, Bangka called ketakung, while the name of the king sorok attach orderly society in West Java on this unique plant.
This plant can reach 15-20 m high with a way to climb to grow other crops. At the end of the vine leaves that are modified to form the bag, which is a tool that is used to trap prey eaten (such as insects, Pacet, child frog) that goes into his bag.
Up to now there are 103 species recorded Nepenthes that have been published (Firstantinovi and Karjono, 2006). This plant is classified as a carnivorous plant that preys on insects. His ability was caused by a bag-shaped organs that protrude from the tip of the leaves. Organ called the pitcher or a bag.
In addition to its ability to trap insects, another uniqueness of this plant is the shape, size, color and style of pockets. Overall, this plant has five pockets form, the form jar, oval / oval, cylinder, funnel, and the dish.
Nepenthes grow and spread from northern Australia, Southeast Asia, to China Southern. Indonesia itself has Kalimantan and Sumatra islands as a paradise of this plant habitats. Of 64 species that live in Indonesia, there are 32 known species in Borneo (Kalimantan, Sarawak, Sabah, and Brunei) as a distribution center Nepenthes.
Nepenthes live in open places or slightly shielded in a poor habitat nutrients and has a humidity high enough. These plants can live in tropical rain forest lowlands, montane forests, peat swamp forests, Heath forests, limestone mountain, savanna and grasslands. Based on the altitude where it grows, Nepenthes divided into three groups PLANTS lowland, middle, and high plains. Character and nature of Nepenthes different in each habitat. Several types of Nepenthes who live in tropical rain forest habitats, lowland and montane forests are epiphytes, which is attached to the trunk or branch of another tree. In a fairly extreme habitats like the forest where the temperature Heath bias reaches 30 ยบ C during the day, Nepenthes adapt to the thick leaves to suppress evaporation of water from leaves. While Nepenthes savanna areas generally terrestrial life, growing up and has a length of the rod is less than 2 m.
