“…Leaves are the major plant components commonly reported to be used as herbal medicine materials in Indonesia [8,53] and also in other countries [54][55][56]. Leaves are common and favorite parts used for medicinal treatment preparation because of easy handling and sustainability [57,58]. The latter is linked to the survival rate of medicinal plants.…”

The people of Tengger, Indonesia have used plants as traditional medicine for a long time. However, this local knowledge has not been well documented until recently. Our study aims to understand the utilization of plants in traditional medicine by the people of Tengger, who inhabit the Ngadisari village, Sukapura District, Probolinggo Regency, Indonesia. We conducted semi-structured and structured interviews with a total of 52 informants that represented 10% of the total family units in the village. The parameters observed in this study include species use value (SUV), family use value (FUV), plant part use (PPU), and the relative frequency of citation that was calculated based on fidelity level (FL). We successfully identified 30 species belonging to 28 genera and 20 families that have been used as a traditional medicine to treat 20 diseases. We clustered all the diseases into seven distinct categories. Among the recorded plant families, Poaceae and Zingiberaceae were the most abundant. Plant species within those families were used to treat internal medical diseases, respiratory-nose, ear, oral/dental, and throat problems. The plant species with the highest SUV was Foeniculum vulgare Mill. (1.01), whereas the Aloaceae family (0.86) had the highest FUV. Acorus calamus L. (80%) had the highest FL percentage. The leaves were identified as the most used plant part and decoction was the dominant mode of a medicinal preparation. Out of the plants and their uses documented in our study, 26.7% of the medicinal plants and 71.8% of the uses were novel. In conclusion, the diversity of medicinal plant uses in the Ngadisari village could contribute to the development of new plant-based drugs and improve the collective revenue of the local society.

“…Greater use of leaves is common in Atlantic Forest areas, as has been recorded in several studies (Bolson et al 2015;Beltreschi et al 2019;Sauini et al 2020;Yazbek et al 2019). This predominance can be explained by the seasonality hypothesis, which states that the greater use of leaves in humid areas is due to their constant availability and ease of collection (Albuquerque et al 2019;Gaoue et al 2017;Medeiros et al 2013).…”

Abstract. Paiva Maia AC, da Costa Ferreira E, Marques de Lucena C, dos Santos Souza A, Dias da Cruz D, Paiva de Lucena RF. 2021. Comparing ethnobotanical knowledge of medicinal plants between community health workers and local experts in the “Mata da Paraíba” zone, northeastern Brazil. Biodiversitas 22: 5606-5616. The use of medicinal plants is an old practice in a society that has been transmitted to this day, with local experts recognized in many communities and being encouraged through public policies. In Brazil, Community Health Agents (CHWs) can be important for the dissemination of this practice, due to their work with the Health System and the community. This study aimed to compare the knowledge of medicinal plants between CHWs and local experts in the community of Timbó, the municipality of Jacaraú (Paraíba, northeastern Brazil). Semi-structured interviews were conducted addressing local names of plants, their indications, parts used, and preparation methods. The data on the species local importance were analyzed through the use value (UV) and relative importance (RI) methods. Local experts cited more species than CHWs. There was great local importance of some species both among local specialists and among CHWs. However, some species were highlighted exclusively among local specialists. Decoction and infusion stood out among the preparation methods and leaf, flower, and seed were the most prominent parts used. The diseases treated with plants are mainly related to the respiratory and digestive systems. Our findings show a correspondence between the CHWs’ knowledge and local experts’ knowledge, which leads us to believe that experts and CHWs may be sharing the same local knowledge in the study community.

trabalho licenciado sob licença Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. RESUMOO objetivo da pesquisa foi apresentar a morfologia dos órgãos vegetativos e reprodutivos de Costus spiralis (Jacq.) Roscoe no município de Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso, além de fotografias para auxiliarem na identificação da espécie, informações fitogeográficas e o seu emprego na medicina popular. Foi realizada entre abril de 2020 e agosto de 2021, mediante coleta botânica na comunidade São Bento, zona rural do município de Alta Floresta (MT). A descrição morfológica foi realizada com materiais frescos no Laboratório de Morfologia Vegetal, localizado no Campus Universitário de Alta Floresta, Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso, com o uso de um estereomicroscópio. Costus spiralis foi caracterizada como ervas com bainha entre 11-15 cm compr., fechada, lâmina foliar 18-27 × 8,2-11 cm, elíptica a levemente obovada, faces adaxial e abaxial glabras; inflorescência espiciforme, 10-25 cm compr., terminal, brácteas 4-4,3 × 3,5-4 cm, vermelhas; pétalas avermelhadas; 1 estame petaloide, 5,5-5,6 cm compr., avermelhado, 2 anteras férteis, 8-9 mm compr., 5 estaminódios conatos em um labelo tubular, 5,8-6,6 × 4 cm. Distingue-se facilmente das outras espécies pela bráctea e labelo vermelho a avermelhado. É conhecida em Alta Floresta como cana-debrejo, caninha-do-brejo e cana-de-macaco, além de cana-do-brejo, caninha, caninhade-macaco e pobre-velho em outros municípios. Entre os usos medicinais verificados em Alta Floresta e demais municípios, predomina o chá da folha para problemas renais. O trabalho mostra a importância da morfologia para a identificação da espécie, que é amplamente aceita como recurso medicinal nos ambientes de ocorrência no Brasil.
