Abstract

The ethnobotany study of the Sasak ethnic group who live in three villages in East Lombok, Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara is intended to reveal their knowledge about the diversity of useful plants including their utilization. This study was conducted through interviews and direct observation. The study recorded 103 species of plants which were used as food, traditional medicine, natural dyes and woven handicrafts. Plants collected were mostly from the wild and some were domesticated. Interviews showed that these days local communities rarely use uncultivated plants as food sources.
