Popis: This work presents the medicinal of tree species found in a forest fragment Semideciduous. The fragment is an area proposed for Experimental Farm of the legal reserve of Unesp Botucatu, located in the central region of Sao Paulo State. In this area, there was a floristic survey and have identified 108 tree species from 43 families. From the identified species was carried out a literature review of medicinal potential. Of the species found 46% (51 species) are known medicinal potential. Of these, the family that had the greatest potential was the Fabaceae, representing approximately 31% (16 species) of the medical potential of the forest fragment. Another analysis of this study is that the parts used for both medicinal action are plant organs (leaves, flower, bark, fruit) that the operation (provided there is an adequate management) does not compromise the individual's own residence, showing a valuation of standing forests strategy. This also indicates an alternative production to areas where it is allowed the use of species without compromising their existence, such as legal reserves, protected areas of water sources, among others. Therefore, knowing the potential uses of forest species is the first step to know the real capacity of forests to provide inputs.
