Gempol Village, Limbangan District, Kendal Regency is located at the foot of Mount Ungaran. The people of Gempol Village are people who are familiar with the lexicon of wild plants. This lexicon is still maintained from generation to generation. This research aims to determine the level of intergenerational community knowledge of the wild plant lexicon. The lexicon of wild plants in this research was further narrowed down to a lexicon of wild plants that are used for consumption. This study uses a qualitative approach and is assisted with quantitative data to calculate the percentage of understanding of the wild plant lexicon. The lexicon list was obtained using interview techniques with key informants to find out the lexicon of wild plants in Gempol Village.
