Abstract

This article deals with 45 kinds of Indonesian drug (jamu) materials collected in Yogyakarta, comprising plant materials, namely, fruit (22), seed (12), herb (3), and others (4), animal material (1) and minerals (3). These materials represent the remainder of the collection described in the first part of this report [18, 19 (4) : 456-472]. In total 88 kinds of material were found in Yogyakarta. About 50% of materials in each of three shops were the same. The parts of plant, most commonly found were the flower, fruit and seed, which together accounted for 45-50% of materials, least common were leaf and herb. This distribution of plant parts used differed significantly from that of Chinese drug materials. Record of 84 vegetable materials was sought in both Indian and Chinese literature. Sixty-eight (81%) and 40 (48%) of them were found respectively in both Indian and Chinese literature, and 37 (44%) in both. This suggests that jamu materials may be based on Indian medicine with the recent addition of a few Chinese drugs. Of the 12 identified local Indonesian materials, nine seemed to be indigenously Javanese, one a substitute for an Indian material, one to have been introduced from Sumatra, and one from Malaysia.
