(<em>Pometia</em> spp.), nyatoh (<em>Palaquium</em> spp.), dahu (<em>Dracontomelum</em> spp.) and sonokembang (<em>Pterocarpus indicus</em>).<span>&nbsp; </span>The trees are used to produce timber for building material and furniture.<span>&nbsp; </span>Some of them are utilized as traditional medicines by Papua tribes. This study was designed to determine the usage of timber trees as traditional medicines by local people in Papua.<span>&nbsp; </span>The result shows that there are 24 timber species<span>&nbsp; </span>used to treat fever, cough, malaria, toothache, infection, and diarrhoea.<span>&nbsp; </span>The active chemical contents of the bark of six commersial tree species are alkaloid, tannin, saponin, flavanoid, and phenolic.</span></p>
