There are 110 species of Angiospermae (), 10 species of Pteridophyta (), 6 species of Gymnospermae () and 2 species of Lycopodiophyta (). Nine richness families are Asteraceae, Araliaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Rubiaceae, Rutaceae, Verbenaceae, Poaceae, and Zingiberaceae. The life form of medicinal plants in Phia Oac - Phia Den National Park is SB = + + + + . Most popular parts in medical utilization are leaves (), roots or tubers () and sap or essential oil (), that was used for 21 groups of medical treatments, mostly for dermatologic preparations. The medical plants were mainly found in forest ecosystems (), scrubs or grasslands (), and agricultural ecosystems (). Based on life forms and used parts, distributing habitats, we suggest the medical plants at Phia Oac - Phia Den National Park would be exploited within scrubs or grasslands, agricultural ecosystems and in some areas under the canopy of plantation forests in the purpose of natural resource sustainable utilization integrated with local economic development.
