- Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants used by the Jah Hut peoples in Malaysia

All verbal information on the medicinal plants were obtained through an interview with a traditional medicinal man. This was done by Rev. Anthony Naden, a priest of a Catholic Church, who devoted his life in the service of the aboriginal people. The local name, parts of plants used, ailments treated, preparations and mode of uses were recorded. The collected specimens were identified at the species level in the Herbarium of Forest Research Institute Malaysia under supervision of Dr. E. Soepadmo. The voucher specimens were dried, labeled and stored. The search of recent scientific phytopharmacological literatures were carried out in order to obtain the information on the current status of investigations of these plants.
