Abstract
A study has been conducted on three indigenous communities from RPS Iskandar Bera Semelai Kg. Paya Mendoi Kuala Krau Jahut and Kg. Bangkong Pekan Jakun to document their knowledge and utilization of herbal plants in their daily practices. It also aims to compare the diversity of the plant used and its usage among the communities. A socio-economic survey and two session of capacity building were carried out on each community to document and compile their respective knowledge on the medicinal and aromatic plants used. A total of 407 plant samples 163-Semelai 106-Jahut 138-Jakun were documented from the three communities. The diversity on the plants used by the communities was high i.e. Semelai with 63 families followed by Jakun with 44 families and Jahut 43 families. Common plant families utilized by the communities were from Zingiberaceae _gingr family Euphorbiaceae rubber family Fabaceae/Leguminosae legume family Asteraceae/Compositae sunflower family and Rubiaceae coffee family. Majority of the plants collected from the communities were used for post-partum wound healing aphrodisiac and fever. The main plant parts used were the roots in the form of decoction and leaves made into poultice.
