Abstract: With over 120,000 species, Brazil is an empire of plants (Ferro, 2006 ABSTRACT:We identified and classified 48 medicinal plants used by the Pataxó Indians in south Bahia, Brazil. The location is an ecologically threatened area designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The aim of this paper is to document phytotherapeutic practices in the indigenous community of Mata Medonha. We conducted interviews with the 25 families present at the area. Of the 48 medicinal species identified, only 14 (29%) had been ex… Show more

“…The medicinal plants used by the communities belong to a broader regional milieu of medicinal plant knowledge (di Stasi et al 2002, Lorenzi & Matos 2008, as supported by the high informant consensus factor that we obtained for the medicinal plant category. The domestic cultivation of the most commonly cited species Anacardium occidentale, Cymbopogon citratus, Dysphania ambrosioides, and Lippia alba ( Figure 3a) have been reported for other Indigenous (Albuquerque et al 2009, Borges & Bautista 2010, Cunha et al 2012, Afro-Brazilian (Quilombola) (Gomes & Bandeira 2012, Lisboa et al 2017, Mota & Dias 2016, and rural communities in the region (Almeida et al , Bandeira et al 2015. Many of the species cited are also available commercially in regional markets within the state of Bahia (de Araújo et al 2018, authors' pers.…”

“…Among the various categories of traditional plant uses typically studied in ethnobotanical surveys, the use of plants for medicinal and curative purposes is by far the most well investigated. In Northeastern Brazil, various authors have focused on medicinal plant use in various traditional communities (Borges & Bautista 2010, Cartaxo et al 2010, Cunha et al 2012, da Silva et al 2012, de Araújo et al 2018, Gomes & Bandeira 2012. In spite of these surveys, the geographical coverage of these studies is still far from complete.…”

“…Além da diversidade biológica, a Mata Atlântica abriga ao longo de sua extensão territorial uma grande riqueza cultural constituída por inúmeras populações tradicionais . Diversos trabalhos de caráter etnobotânico têm sido realizados em áreas pertencentes ao território original deste bioma com diferentes tipos de comunidades como: caiçaras (BORGES e , jangadeiros (DIEGUES et al, 2000), açorianos (GIRALDI e HANAZAKI, 2010), indígenas (LIMA et al, 2012), quilombolas (BARROSO et al, 2010), pescadores artesanais (MERÉTIKA et al, 2010), roceiros e caboclos ribeirinhos (DIEGUES et al, 2000) vivendo tanto em comunidades rurais (BRASILEIRO et al, 2019) como em urbanas (TULER et al, 2019).…”
