Abstract
Medicinal plants play an important role in improving health, many medicinal plants have not identified the type or efficacy. The purpose of this study was to identify and inventory medicinal plant species based on their habitus, benefits and parts used using participatory observation methods. The results of the observations identified that 48% consisted of undergrowth habitus, 29% consisted of shrubs habitus, 7% consisted of lianas, and 16% consisted of woody trees. Of the 31 species with 26 families have uses as traditional medicine for various diseases. The results of this identification need to be documented as a form of preservation in support of plant conservation and pharmacological studies in the discovery of new drugs. The identification results need to be informed to the surrounding community so that they can develop processed herbal products as added value, and can also market these products. Expectations from the results of this study coincide with increasing the income of the surrounding community and health
