The Medicinal Plant Potential Parts and Species Diversity as Antipyretic: Ethnobotany Study at Senduro Lumajang

Fever is characterized by high body temperature caused by a bacterial infection, virus, and other pathologist conditions. Traditional medicine role in reducing fever by using medicinal plants, mainly potentially as antipyretic. One of the communities that still maintain the use of the medicinal plant is the Senduro sub-district community Lumajang regency, which is occupied by the Tengger, Javanese, and Madurese ethnic.

species diversity and the parts utilized by the community. This research was implemented mix method approach with an
explorative, descriptive research type. The used data collection techniques were direct observation, interview,
documentation, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The data analysis techniques were qualitative and quantitative, while
Miles and Huberman's analysis technique was used in the qualitative analysis. The research result shows that the Senduro sub-district community uses 21 species of antiphrastic plant which included in 16 groups of families, such as Amaryllidaceae, Annonaceae, Araceae, Arecaceae, Brassicaceae, Clusiaceae, Cucurbitaceae,Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Musaceae, Pandanaceae, Piperaceae, Poaceae, Rutaceae, and Zingiberaceae.
