Biodiversity Park of Bukit Manjai Valley, South Kalimantan. The research employed a cruising method through direct observation and morphological documentation. Seven Araceae species were identified: Alocasia princeps, Alocasia sarawakensis, Amorphophallus borneensis, Amorphophallus paeoniifolius, Amorphophallus muelleri, Amydrium medium, and Schismatoglottis ahmadii. Each species showed distinct morphological traits and ecological adaptations to the tropical rainforest environment. Measurements of abiotic factors like temperature, humidity, light intensity, soil pH, and wind speed indicated suitable habitat conditions for Araceae. Scientifically, the study contributes valuable data to the enrichment of local taxonomic databases, serving as a reference for botanical classification and species verification in South Kalimantan. Moreover, the documentation strengthens baseline information needed for the conservation planning of endemic and potentially threatened Araceae species in the region. The results also have applied value for the development of local-content-based learning media in higher education, particularly in the Phanerogamae course.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginventarisasi spesies tumbuhan dari famili Araceae di kawasan Taman Biodiversitas Hutan Hujan Tropis Lembah Bukit Manjai, Kalimantan Selatan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode jelajah (cruising method) dengan pendekatan observasi langsung dan dokumentasi morfologi. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan adanya tujuh spesies dari famili Araceae, yaitu Alocasia princeps, Alocasia sarawakensis, Amorphophallus borneensis, Amorphophallus paeoniifolius, Amorphophallus muelleri, Amydrium medium, dan Schismatoglottis ahmadii. Ketujuh spesies menunjukkan variasi morfologi yang khas serta adaptasi terhadap kondisi lingkungan hutan hujan tropis. Pengukuran faktor abiotik seperti suhu, kelembapan, intensitas cahaya, pH tanah, dan kecepatan angin mendukung keberadaan spesies Araceae di kawasan tersebut. Temuan ini tidak hanya penting untuk dokumentasi keanekaragaman hayati lokal, tetapi juga memiliki potensi sebagai sumber pengembangan media pembelajaran berbasis potensi lokal serta kontribusi dalam strategi konservasi tumbuhan endemik Kalimantan
