Abstract

Gempol Hamlet, Limbangan District, Kendal Regency is located at the foot of Mount Ungaran. The people of Gempol Hamlet are people who are familiar with the lexicon of wild plants. The lexicon is still maintained from generation to generation. This study aims to determine the level of intergenerational knowledge of the lexicon of wild plants. The lexicon of wild plants in this study is further reduced to the lexicon of wild plants that are used for consumption. This study uses a qualitative approach and is assisted with quantitative data to calculate the percentage of understanding of the wild plant lexicon. The lexicon list was obtained by interviewing key informants to find out the lexicon of wild plants in Gempol Hamlet. Then the data was collected through a questionnaire filled out by the Gempol Hamlet community. Based on the results obtained, the age group I (6-25 years) in the T (know) category obtained a percentage of 78%. Age group II (26-45) got a percentage of 94%, while age group III (46-90) knew 100% of the lexicon of wild plants. This shows that the people of Gempol Hamlet still maintain the lexicon of wild plants in communicating in their daily lives.
