“…Fabaceae had a relatively high number of species 7 (13.5%), followed by Lamiaceae 4 (7.7%), Asclepiadaceae, Capparidaceae, Convolvulaceae and Euphorbiaceae each with 3 (5.8%) species, Acanthaceae, Boraginaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Asteraceae and Solanaceae each with 2 (3.8%) species and the rest 19 families had 1 (1.9%) species each. Family Fabaceae is consistently reported in different ethnomedicinal inventories conducted in Ethiopia (Hunde et al, 2004;Seifu et al, 2006;Gidey et al, 2007;Belayneh et al, 2012;Megersa et al, 2013;Abera, 2014) and other parts of the world (Tugume et al, 2016), which could be attributed to their wider distribution and abundance (Bonet et al, 1999) and rich bioactive ingredient contents (Gazzaneo et al, 2005). Thirty-nine (75%) of the medicinal plants were reported as being used for treating human ailments, 13 (25%) for the treatment of both human and livestock ailments and 1 (1.9%) for livestock aliments only.…”

“…Ethnomedical information can be acquired from various sources such as books on medical botany (46) and herbals (47); review articles (usually involving surveys of medicinal plants by geographic region or ethnic culture) (48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66); notes placed on voucher herbarium specimens by the botanist at the time of collection (67); field work (68); and computer databases, e.g., NAPRALERT (69-71) and USDA-Duke (72,73).…”

“…The data of this study confirm that people tend to use preferably the plants that are easily available to them, excluding of course those that are toxic or noxious. As Bonet and Vallès (2002), Bonet et al (1999), Johns et al (1990) and Stepp and Moerman (2001) affirm, the more common a plant (family or species) is in an area, the greater is the probability of its popular use. Most of the times the wild food plants gathering at a local level depends mainly on the plant diversity of an area.…”
