Indonesian has more than 2,000 medicinal plants. The objective of this research was to identify and determine the functions of medicinal plants at Ranu Pani Village. The data were
collected using field exploration, field guide and deep interview. The exploration obtained 41 potential plant species from 32 families for medicine. The plants could be found in the yard
and garden as cultivated plants, and in various places in the village as wild plants. The highest percentage of the plants was the Solanaceae family. The types of plants identified were trees,
shrubs, bushes and herbs. The plants were useful for treating digestive, respiratory, and excretion illnesses. The most widely used medicinal plant was Adas Foeniculum vulgare.
Encouraging the people in a village to implement their traditional knowledge on medicinal plants would be a good start to build community independency toward modern medicine.
Maintaining the implementation of traditional knowledge and improving them with modern technology would help the people to be independent and self-sufficient in terms of medicine
provision. Ranu Pani Village is one of villages whose communities still use medicinal plants. Keywords: exploration, illnesses, medicinal plant, people, Ranu Pani village

In our Earth, which lived about 40,000 species of plants, of which 30,000 species live in the Indonesian archipelago. To date data has been collected as many as 3825 species records, with
various local names as many as 16,244 records, and content as many as 6776 record recorded in the species-contents interaction as many as 12,980 records Yanuar et all 2011 According
