Pocut Merah Intan Botanical Forest Park (Tahura) in Aceh Besar has many plant species, including herbaceous plants. This study aims to identify the types of herbaceous plants in this area and see their distribution patterns in various local ecosystems. The research method used field surveys, sampling, and taxonomic analysis using reference books. The results of the study found 10 species of herbaceous plants from 8 families consisting of Euphorbiaceae, Asteraceae, Rubiaceae, Poaceae, Convolvulaceae, Cyperaceae, Araceae, Orchidaceae. most dominant family Poaceae, and Araceae, most dominant family Poaceae, Fabaceae, and Asteraceae.
