    abstract = {The objective of this research was to document traditional knowledge of Jakun people on medicinal
plants by using voucher specimens as a tools. The plants were collected together with biological information
as well as how the plants were used. The collected plants than were pressed and dried in the oven. After that,
the plants were mounted onto acid-free card and deposited in UTHM repository. A total of 28 plant specimens
collected from 2014-2015 and deposited at UTHM were examined. Scientific name, local name, growth form, local
use, part used, place of collection, year of collection and herbarium accession number of each species were
recorded. A total of 26 species of medicinal plants were documented in this study. Total 26 genera and
24 botanical families were presented indicating that the medicinal plants were much diversified taxonomically.
Most of the plants were taken orally by drinking the decoction. The results obtained in this research work
indicates that by using a voucher specimens, one can know better about medicinal plants that been used by
Jakun people in their daily live. Future investigation and proper documentation need to be done in order to
preserve their knowledge from erosion.}
