Abstract

The forest area has considerable potential for medicinal plants. However, their usage remains limited. This study aimed to identify the diversity of medicinal plant species in Suranadi Nature Park and their application as traditional medicine among the residents of Suranadi Village. Data were collected through field observations and interviews held between December and February 2025 within the 52-hectare Suranadi Nature Park. This study used a sampling intensity of 2% and obtained 26 sample plots. Plot locations were determined using a systematic sampling technique with a random starting point. Interviews were conducted with 44 purposively chosen respondents to obtain information regarding the use of medicinal plants by Suranadi Village residents. Results showed that 78 species of medicinal plants from 40 families were found in the Suranadi Nature Park, with the Fabaceae family representing the highest number of species at 8% of the total. The medicinal plant habitus with the highest percentage is a tree at 53%. There are 59 disease categories that medicinal plants from Suranadi Nature Park can treat, with diarrhea being the primary condition addressed by 13 identified plant species, where leaves are the most used part, accounting for 44%.
