Abstract:We interpreted the traditional knowledge of a Quilombola group about the use of plant species for therapeutic purposes (medicinal). Were adopted semi-structured interviews and discourse analysis to its interpretation. We identifi ed 57 species in the herbarium for medicinal purposes. It is concluded that knowledge is essential for maintenance of socio-cultural vulnerable community and as a way of generating jobs and income the light of local sustainable development Résumé: Nous avons essayé d'interpréter les connaissances traditionnelles d'une communauté Quilombola sur l'utilisation d'espèces végétales à des fi ns thérapeutiques. Ont été adoptées entretiens semi-structurés et de l'analyse du discours à son interprétation. Nous avons identifi é 57 espèces de l'herbier à des fi ns médicinales. Il est conclu que la connaissance est essentielle pour le maintien de communautés vulnérables socioculturelles et comme un moyen de générer des emplois et des revenus de la lumière du développement durable local.

Gender differences in plant use knowledge within a traditional fishing community in northeastern Brazil

“…As with medicinal plant use, the use of plants for consumption as food fits into the two categories of cultivated for domestic use and wild harvested ( Figure 3c), and some of the species overlap with plants used for medicine. Various of the plants used have also been reported for other communities in the Bahia state (Agra et al 2008, do Nascimento et al 2015, Mota & Dias 2016, Neto et al 2014, Rodrigues & Guedes 2006.…”

“…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.…”

Traditional botanical knowledge of medicinal plants in a “quilombola” community in the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil

“…This result is similar to that of other studies performed with quilombola communities in the Atlantic Forest. In Carreiros community (Minas Gerais, southeast of Brazil), leaves, followed by bark, were the most frequently used parts (Ferreira et al 2014), and in the quilombola community of Helve ´cia (Bahia, northeast of Brazil), the leaves corresponded to 56% of the most frequently used parts for the preparation of medicine (Mota and Dias 2012). The reason the leaves are the most often-used parts could be related to the fact that they are available during the whole year (Castellucci et al 2000), considering that these are wet areas of the Atlantic Forest where the leaves do not fall.…”

“…Despite the ethnobotanical studies that have been performed in quilombola communities of several Brazilian biomes (Ferreira et al 2014;Franco and Barros 2006;Gomes and Bandeira 2012;Monteles and Pinheiros 2007;Mota and Dias 2012;Nascimento and Conceic ¸a ˜o 2011), these studies are usually more descriptive and do not present quantitative analyses for the interpretation of the collected data. The primary ethnobotanical studies that have been performed in Atlantic Forest quilombola communities have focused on the identification of the species of medicinal plants that are used by the communities, their importance and which parts of the plant are used to prepare the medicine.…”

“…), and this is important avenue of follow up research. Various of the plants used have also been reported for other communities in the Bahia state (Rodrigues and Guedes 2006;Agra et al 2008;Neto et al 2014;do Nascimento et al 2015;Mota and Dias 2016).…”
