A study of the potential of spice plants in the Kerinci Seblat National Park area particularly in the MADAPI Forest was conducted to find out the types of the plants as well as their number and abundance. The method used in this research was a survey using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. The size of the observation plot was 20mx20m. The total number of observation plots was 80 plots. Based on the observations, it was found 13 types of spice plants from 10 families, mostly dominated by the Zingiberaceae. The abundance value of the plants was low (small). Most types of spice plants in the MADAPI Forest grew in a clumped distribution pattern. The most spice plant species were found in the Pinus merkusii area and the least was in the Aleurites moluccana area.
