Abstract
Indonesian drug (jamu) materials of "traditional Javanese" type were collected from three shops in Yogyakarta, YJS in 1974, and YJJ and YJM in 1978. Sixty-one materials were obtained from YJS, and whose owner was a half-blooded Javanese-Chinese, and 66 and 55 from YJJ and YJM. The owner of YJJ was an old woman who spoke only Javanese. YJM was located in a food market and was owned by a Javanese who could speak Indonesian.
Jamu samples comprised mainly plant materials, together with one animal, a kind of coral, and three minerals. Plant materials were divided into ten groups, namely wood-trunk, bark, rhizome, root, leaf, flower, fruit, seed, herb and others.
This article deals with about a half of the plant materials, namely 43 kinds in the groups from wood-trunk to flower. Their botanical origins were identified, and the vernacular names cited in the literature are presented.
