“…Studies show that people, in making use of medicinal plants, try different parts of the plant such as leaves, fruits, bark, flowers, roots, seeds, resins, latex and essential oils, to meet their health needs (Khan et al, 2013;Amiri and Joharchi, 2013;Lukelal et al, 2013;Souza et al 2014).. However, there are some factors that interfere with the plant part of choice to be prepared for medicinal use.…”

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.

“…It is observed that the parts of the plants used will vary depending on the knowledge and practices of use that exists in each locale. Thus, regarding C. heliotropiifolius in the community studied and in a study conducted in the semi-arid region of the State of Piaui (Oliveira et al, 2010), the most common report was for the use of its leaves; however, in the carrasco area of the State of Ceara, besides the use of leaves, its roots had also been used by the informants (Souza et al, 2014).…”

“…P l a n t s R e s . (2011) and Souza et al (2014), since the large medicinal use of this family can be explained by the great number and diversity of the species that compose it, being one of the largest in the cerrado. Most genera were represented by only one species, with the exception of Croton, Psidium and Hybanthus.…”

This study aimed to conduct an ethnobotanical survey of medicinal species in an área of cerrado vegetation in the chapada do Araripe, Ceara, as well as evaluating and selecting species with potential for bioprospecting, based on the relative importance of the species and the consensus among the informants. The ethnobotanical data were collected through semi-structured interviews and a free list, and by using the technique "snowball". It was analyzed the relative importance of the mentioned plants as well as species that stood out on the bodily systems, based on the factor:consensus among the informants. It was recorded a total of 38 species distributed into 35 genera and 25 families. Of the total eight species (21%) presented great versatility (IR≥1) regarding to its use. The therapeutic indications were grouped into 14 categories of bodily systems. Disorder of respiratory and genitourinary systems, injuries, poisoning and other consequences of external causes and diseases of the blood, organs and connective tissue, obtained a greater consensus among the informants. Ximenia americana, Himathantus drasticus, Stryphnodndron rotundifolium, Hancornia speciosa and Cecropia pachysthachya were the species subject to further study, based on versatility, and consensus of the use among the informants.
