A systematic review of ethnobotanical study in Indonesia: diversity and cultural patterns of medicinal plant use

However, the existing literature is compromised by weak taxonomic validation and non-standardized reporting. Future research priorities must include the documentation of neglected regions and the enforcement of rigorous, voucher-based methodologies.
