“…Vendors that sell plants for therapeutic purposes work in markets as popular prescribers, demonstrating empirical knowledge about indications, preparation methods and use, plant parts and quantities used and other relevant information (Santos et al, 2009;Silva and Peixoto , 2009;Leitão et al, 2009). In this context, one can say that the interactions in the sale of medicinal plants at public markets are an informal, open and dynamic medical system in which empirical knowledge about the use of these items comes from various sources and their transmission occurs in many ways, perpetuating the valuable cultural and biological information of a community (Baldauf, 2003;Amorozo, 1996).…”

“…In Brazil, C. icaco has wide distribution, occurring all along the coast (Prance, 1972a,b). This species is commercially sold as "abajurú", "abagerú" or "guajurú" (Silva & Peixoto, 2009;Presta & Pereira, 1987). Many ethnobotanical studies have found that the aqueous extracts of its leaves and roots have medicinal benefits in the treatment of diabetes (Agra et al, 2008;Albuquerque et al, 2007;Barbosa-Filho et al, 2005;Fonseca-Kruel & Peixoto, 2004).…”

“…In these areas there is still local knowledge, such as that of artisanal fishermen, about the current and past use of ripe fruits of C. icaco, widely consumed in natura, as well as their leaves for making an antidiabetic infusion [13,10,9,18]. It is noteworthy that this plant is still suffering strong plant extractivism, since fertile branches or not, are extensively marketed in fairs and markets in the city of Rio de Janeiro [34].…”
