Abstract

Balinese have traditionally preserved plants for the ethnobotany used hereditary, such as the utilization of plants for traditional medicine and Hindu ceremonies. Most of the Tabanan people are still live in the villages traditionally. They have used plants for the traditional purpose for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, this ethnobotany knowledge is increasingly eroded due to the increasing tourism activities. The purpose of this study was to record the most used plants by Balinese in Tabanan Bali in daily life as well as record their ethnobotanical functions. Research Study was conducted in Kediri and Baturiti districts, Tabanan Regency, Bali Province. The selection of respondents was done through purposive techniques, namely by targeted respondents. Identification and checking of scientific names using references in the http://www.theplantlist.org/. The survey results in 10 species of plants that were most often used by Balinese people in Tabanan, namely: Cocos nucifera, Plumeria acuminata, Musa x paradisiaca, Piper betle, Centella asiatica, Alpinia galanga, Erythrina subumbrans, Citrus aurantifolia, Impatiens balsamina, and Curcuma longa. Almost all of them are used by Hindus in Tabanan Bali for various purposes, such as for food, traditional ceremonials, traditional medicines, and others. Several conservation activities have been traditionally carried out by the Balinese Hindu community in the Tabanan area for generations, such as growing the plants in sacred areas (temples) and cultivating them in the house yard (natah).
