This research aims to determine the characteristics of simplicia from candlenut leaves (Aleurites moluccanus). Samples of candlenut leaves were obtained from the Seulawah Mountains, where the soil contains high levels of secondary metabolites. Based on the results of the simplicia character test, it is known that the characteristics of the candlenut leaf simplicia in the water content (2.978 %) and total ash content (9.75 %) tests meet the requirements of Farmako Indonesia and Materia Medika Indonesia (MMI).
