Fact is that the flowers which are white-spotted purple spots appear, the smell of it wafted orchids. Smells not easy to describe, but like betel leaves are crushed. Because quite sharp nose, inhaling the smell of orchids with it for a sensitive person may sneeze repeatedly. That is the Aerides odorata (airides = float, odorata = smelly, red), one of the living forest orchids hanging in the branches of trees.
Orchids that spread from Southeast Asia to South Asia was one of the orchid species were found during a visit to the island Peucang, Ujungkulon National Park, West Java. Many orchids in Peucang not yet recorded. To reach the island covering 472 hectares of that, it takes 2.5 hours to sail from the dock in the Village Tamanjaya.
Aerides indeed the first type of orchid species along the coast of the island looked when Peucang. The beach was dominated by trees: Calophyllum Calophyllum inophyllum inophyllum, almond Terminalia catappa, china kampis Guettarda speciosa and Pandanus Pandanus sp. Still do not like aerides in Kalimantan, which leaves very long, kind of stuck in a tree Peucang Nyamplung was short-leaved, the size is less than an inch hands of adults, type in lowland leaf size was small.
Problem origin of the smell of orchid-term acid in Java because many found stuck to the tamarind tree, as a way to extend the generation and survival. Plants that remove the smell certainly invite insect pollinators to come. In aerides, insects such as beetles and flies coming to help solve anthera stamp (Seal, red) on the ovary or stamens which can not be done nature: wind and rain.
Still associated with smell, aerides from Kalimantan had more fragrant smell. In the group of Orchidaceae, orchid family is the most similar bulbophyllum aerides, smelly but not fragrant. In fact 60-70% of about 2000 species bulbophyllum smells foul. But the most fragrant of all is the type of Tuberolabium odoratissimum, the latter had a smell like perfume, fragrant and refreshing.
Aerides addition, on the island who had dubbed the new singapore by Dutch researchers in 1890 because the land contours similar to the Lion, was also found Dendrobium indivisum. Type of epiphytes that grow on top of large trunk as high as 4-5 m. Orchids that live up to an altitude 800 m asl It has a striped yellow flowers. Looks beautiful.
Javanica Luisia also encountered. Luisia have small flowers and the lip (labelum, red) jeblek. But make no mistake, though apparently far from elegant, bringing forth the results silangannya Vanda orchids with large flowers with wide lips. Another feature, the leaf is thick and feels like velvet when held. Yet during the exploration of unique orchids Peucang is without leaves. Vanda monopodial types of families that can live because of its roots berklorofil. There are approximately 20-30 species distributed in Indonesia and Malaysia.
Peucang Island not only dominated the flora only. The journey to the west coast Karangcopong Peucang encountered many deer Cervus timorensis. Even if luck can be passed by a monitor lizard Varanus salvator. According Syamsudin, ranger officer, the deer from Ujungkulon was pretty tame.
Unfortunately there are no recent data that the deer population. Abdulah said the deer population in 2001 of about 271 male: 131 adults, 63 adolescents, and 77 chicks. The number was far lower than in 2000 which reached 308 individuals. Population decline was expected due to the migration of deer that crossed over to Ujungkulon. In the report also mentioned the population of lizards that have a cruising range 0.13 ha / cow tail it reaches 55: 46 adults and seven teenagers.
Orchid hunting hunting photo-dominated event that continues to Tanjunglayar, Ujungkulon the mainland which is located at the tip. Tanjunglayar famous for its lighthouse built there upon the rock. From Peucang, boating Tanjunglayar taken approximately 30 minutes in the direction Cibom. Cibom not have a dock so the party should move to a smaller boat to reach shore.
Location lighthouse reached after 30-40 minutes of walking. Encountered along the path Aerides odorata. Similarly, rare plants such as merbau Intsia Pterospermum diversifolium bijuga and luminous. In the middle of the road Syamsudin show some medicinal plants. One of them nampong Clibadium surinamense. Leaves and young stems are squeezed into the wound like a drug or drug betadin red.
Other medicinal plants, sulangkar Leea indica. Lancet leaf plants and shrubs with serrated edges that men efficacious as a medicine wart. Crushed fruit and dioles the warts. The Useful Plants of Indonesia, K Heyne mention kolotada-term in Ternate, Maluku, can cure deafness with fluid dripping from the trunk of the tree is burned first.
The lighthouse is the main attraction at Tanjunglayar finally appeared. Really incredible. Achieve high metal frame 50 m. To climb the lighthouse was apparently necessary because the higher the guts to climb stairs, the wind blows to the body stronger. However, once arriving at the top, all turned into admiration. There lay vast ocean of blue.
