“…Of the species, Stryphnodendron rotundifolium presented the highest mean RI, with an interval range of 0.97 to 2.00 and Bredemeyera brevifolia the lowest mean, with RI 2 = 0.29 and an interval from 0.17 to 0.44. Species such as Genipa americana (RI 2 = 0.66) and Lantana camara (RI 2 = 0.58) that presented low RI averages can be highlighted as having the maximum RI value in ethnobotanical surveys in the northeast, as demonstrated in the works of Cordeiro and Félix (2014) [57] and Guerra et al (2016) [64], respectively.…”

Ethnopharmacological Relevance This study aims to evaluate the versatility of these species and their agreement of use and/or the informants' knowledge and verify the variability of the information on the indicated medicinal species in comparison to other species from northeastern Brazilian areas. Materials and Methods Ethnobotanical information was acquired through interviews with 23 residents of the Quincuncá community, northeastern Brazil. From the obtained data, a comparative analysis of the therapeutic indications with other 40 areas in different biomes was conducted. For that, the relative importance index and informant consensus factor were calculated and compared to other indices evaluated in the literature. Results A total of 39 medicinal species were cited and twenty-six species showed similarities among their therapeutic indications; however, species as Geoffroea spinosa, Lantana camara, and others can be highlighted, present in community disease indications that were not verified for other areas. Myracrodruon urundeuva, Mimosa tenuiflora, Stryphnodendron rotundifolium, and Amburana cearensis had the greatest versatility. In the Quincuncá community, medicinal species were indicated for 49 diseases, which were grouped into 15 categories of body systems. Conclusion This study shows the presented divergence in relation to their therapeutic use; in this point, these divergences reinforce the importance of pharmacological research.

“…Para decocção foi constatado o maior uso de folhas (75,37%), para maceração, casca ou entrecasca (37,20%), para o suco, o fruto, e para garrafada, a casca do caule. A decocção também foi o método mais empregado por populações em outras comunidades rurais (Neto et al, 2014;Rodrigues & Andrade, 2014;Baptistel et al, 2014;Cordeiro & Félix, 2014).…”

RESUMO:Este trabalho objetivou realizar o inventário das plantas medicinais de uma comunidade rural maranhense, analisando o valor de uso e a importância relativa das espécies, assim como o consenso dos informantes quanto às doenças tratadas. Foram realizadas 50 entrevistas semiestruturadas utilizando-se o método de amostragem "bola-de-neve" e usouse a técnica "turnê-guiada" para coletar as espécies citadas. Os especialistas locais citaram 63 espécies pertencentes a 44 famílias, das quais Fabaceae, Apocynaceae, Lamiaceae e Myrtaceae apresentaram o maior número de espécies. A planta que obteve maior valor de uso foi Morinda citrifolia L.. Himatanthus drasticus (Müll.Arg.) Woodson foi a espécie que apresentou maior importância relativa. Dentre os sistemas corporais tratados com os recursos vegetais, os que obtiveram maior consenso entre os informantes foram os relacionados às doenças do estômago, esôfago e duodeno e infecções virais caracterizadas por lesões na pele (ambas com FCI = 0,83). Em virtude da riqueza de conhecimento sobre plantas medicinais em um Estado do Brasil onde o sistema de saúde é bastante precário e onde os estudos de cunho etnobotânico ainda são escassos, sugere-se que novos estudos etnobotânicos sejam realizados afim de evidenciar a dinâmica de conhecimento local e suas implicações ecológicas e sociais.Palavras-Chave: Plantas medicinais. Etnobotânica. Zona rural. ABSTRACT: Known medicinal plants by local experts in a rural community in Maranhão.This study aimed to conduct an inventory of medicinal plants in a rural community in Maranhão, analyzing the use value and the relative importance of species as well as the consensus of the informants about the treated diseases. Fifty semi-structured interviews were conducted using the sampling method "snow-ball" and the technique "guided tour" was employed in order to collect the species mentioned. Local experts mentioned 63 species belonging to 44 families, from which Fabaceae, Apocynaceae, Lamiaceae and Myrtaceae represented the highest number of species. The plant which had the highest use value was the Morinda citrifolia L.. The Himatanthus drasticus (Müll.Arg.) Woodson was the species with the highest relative importance. Among the body systems treated with plant resources, those who had the most consensus among the informants were related to stomach, esophagus and duodenum diseases and viral infections characterized by skin lesions (both ICF = 0.83). Because of the abundance of knowledge about medicinal plants in this state of Brazil, where the health system is quite precarious and where the nature of ethnobotanical studies are still scarce, it is suggested that new ethnobotanical studies are conducted in order to show the dynamics of local knowledge and its ecological and social implications.

“…It is indicated as antimicrobial (Botelho et al 2007), antiulcerogenic (Desmarchelier et al1999) and as gastric mucosa protector (Carlini et al 2010), having antibacterial, antifungal and bacteriostatic activity (Alves et al 2009, Menezes et al 2010Machado and Oliveira 2014). Myracrodruon urundeuva stands out among medicinal plants with the most nominations in combating health problems in several ethnobotanical surveys of the Caatinga area (Cordeiro and Félix 2014). It is used for the treatment of cancer, inflammation, sore throat, kidney disease, spinal problems, prostate, liver inflammation, diarrhea, gastritis, diphtheria and cough (Silva and Freire 2010;Roque et al 2010;Marinho et al 2011).…”

The study of medicinal plants reveals locally important plant species often useful for the discovery of new drugs. The objective of this research was to conduct an ethnobotanical survey of medicinal plants used by the population of the Imperatriz city, State of Maranhão, Northeastern Brazil. Two hundred and five interviews were conducted, resulting in the collection of 60 plant species from 31 plant families. The highest number of species belongs to Fabaceae, followed by Lamiaceae, Asteraceae and Euphorbiaceae. The most reported species were Chenopodium ambrosioides, Myracrodruon urundeuva, Lippia alba, and Plectranthus barbatus. The main plant parts used were leaves (63.3%), bark (16.7%), fruits (6.7%), roots (6.7%), seeds (3.3), stems (1.7%) and latex (1.7%). Major administration routes were by oral (81.7%) or nasal via (1.6%) and topical application (16.7%) The plants were used to mitigate various health problems including pain, asthma, hypertension, gastritis, inflammation, influenza, and tuberculosis. The collected data shows that local population uses medicinal plants for treatment of several diseases and this study can serve as a basis for future chemical and pharmacological investigation, which can lead to the discovery of new therapeutic agents.KEYWORDS: Traditional knowledge; natural products, disease treatment, ethnopharmacology.Estudo etnobotânico de plantas medicinais em Imperatriz, Estado do Maranhão, Nordeste do Brasil.
