An inventory of medicinal plants was conducted in the forest of Bitakol, the bufferzone of the Baluran National Park, East Java, in June 1989. It was found that medicinal plants consisted about 66 percent of the undergrowths in the forest area. Some medicinal plants were quite abundant, like Schleichera oleosa (kesambi), Uvaria rufa (kalak), and Helicteres isora (ole). A few important medicinal plant species were hardly found i.e, Aegle marmerlos (maja), Parkia (kedawung) and Cassia fistula (trengguli). Traditional therapeutics commonly practised by local people included the application of Bridelia monoica (tanglo) for itching, Aegle marmelos for internal disease and Parkia javanica for flatulence.
