Abstract

Mukarromah AN, Dzihni A, Azzam AK, Adiningsih AR, Nurcahyati M, Setyawan AD. 2025. Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants in Wonorejo and Beruk Village, Karanganyar District, Central Java, Indonesia. Asian J Environ 1: 58-69. The use of medicinal plants is carried out in a special or limited manner, where medicinal plants are a legacy passed down from generation to generation. In Wonorejo and Beruk Villages, Karanganyar, some still maintain their habit of using medicinal plants. Therefore, this research aims to determine the knowledge of the community in Wonorejo and Beruk Villages, Jatiyoso Sub-district, Karanganyar District, Central Java, Indonesia regarding types of medicinal plants and document the use of medicinal plants by the local community. The research was conducted through interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and observations with the people living in those Villages. The data is collected in a tally sheet and analyzed descriptively and quantitatively to analyze their Use Value (UV), Informant Consensus Factor (ICF), and Fidelity Level (FL). The results of the research show that people in the villages of Wonorejo and Beruk use as many as 35 species from 24 families, with the most frequently used plant types being the Zingiberaceae family, such as Zingiber trifolia (Burm fil.) P. Wilson, Curcuma caesia Roxb, and Curcuma longa L.. Data from Wonorejo and Beruk Village communities shows the highest UV value for the Zingiberaceae family (4.53), while the lowest was for the Caricaceae family (0.15). The highest ICF is found in the type of skin category with a value of 0.95, where Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f. is a plant widely used to treat this disease. The highest FL is found in Sechium edule (Jacq.) Sw.and Morinda citrifolia L. plants with a value of 100, and the lowest was in the A. vera species (65.8%).
