Ethnobotany of medicinal plants used by the Javanese community of Mount Merapi National Park, Central Java, Indonesia. Asian J Ethnobiol 7: 130-143. The majority of medicines and health care come from plants. This research explores medicinal plants used by Javanese people on the eastern slopes of Mount Merapi National Park, Central Java, Indonesia, located in two districts, Klaten and Boyolali. This research was carried out by collecting data on respondents' socio-economics and ethnobotany regarding medicinal plants, and identified four key informants using the snowball sampling method. The interviews were also conducted using a questionnaire method to find out information on the use of medicinal plants by the 81 respondents. The data was analyzed using several quantitative ethnobotanical indices. In this research, 73 species of medicinal plants from 35 families were identified. Zingiberaceae dominates with 12 species, followed by Myrtaceae consist five species. Leaves are the most widely used part of the plant, namely around 34%, followed by fruit at 17.8% and tubers at 19.2%. Cicer arietinum L. (0.88) and Vaccinium varingiaefolium Miq. (0.64) have the most significant number of Relative Frequency Citations (RFC); the highest Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) value was for the SSA disease category (Symptoms, signs, and abnormal clinical and laboratory) with a value of 0.96, the highest Use Value (UV) value was Allium cepa and Allium sativum with the same value, namely 0.06. The highest Informant Agreement Ratio (IAR) value is 1.00, one of which is by fennel species or Foeniculum vulgare
