“…Markets have long been recognized as places that reflect regional trade and culture, and have been used to study the commercialization and utilization of natural products (Hooper and Field, 1937;Linares and Bye, 1987;Nicholson and Arzeni, 1993;Hanlidou et al, 2004;Macia et al, 2005;Albuquerque et al, 2007;Bussmann et al, 2007;Lee et al, 2008;Williams et al, 2007aWilliams et al, ,b, 2009). In addition, market surveys of traded medicinal products can give an insight into the diversity, prevalence and salience of these items (Albuquerque et al, 2007;Bussmann et al, 2007;Williams et al, 2007a).…”

“…Hanlidou et al (2004) found 172 taxa traded in the open-air markets of Thessaloniki, Greece. Nicholson and Arzeni (1993) a Social attributes were regressed onto the similarity matrix of the freelist responses. Quantitative attributes were regressed using Property Fitting (Borgatti, 1996;Puri and Vogl, 2005), and categorical attributes were independently converted to matrices and regressed using Quadratic assignment procedure regression (Hubert and Schultz, 1976;Puri and Vogl, 2005).…”

“…Several worldwide studies have documented the flora and fauna sold at these places (Johnson and Johnson 1976;Bye 1986;Nicholson and Arzeni 1993;Narváez and Stauffer 1999;Williams et al 2000Williams et al , 2005Ugent 2000;Mertz et al 2001;Betti 2002;Botha et al 2004;Maig et al 2005;Nguyen 2005;Bussmann et al 2007;Lee et al 2008;Alves and Rosa 2006;Alves et al 2009) and many studies that have focused on traditional markets provide lists of useful plants (Whitaker and Cutler 1966). Other ethnobotanical studies approach the commerce of medicinal plants quantitatively and include hypothesis tests, ecological indexes, statistical analyses, and discussions on the trade and conservation of useful phytodiversity (Williams et al 2000(Williams et al , 2005Mertz et al 2001;Betti 2002;Botha et al 2004;Nguyen 2005;Albuquerque et al 2007b;Bussmann et al 2007).…”

Given the importance of markets and fairs for the commerce of medicinal plants, an ethnobotanical study was undertaken at the Caruaru Fair (Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil) to compare the richness of species sold and their values of relative importance (RI) using two datasets collected with a 4-year interval. The seasonality of these plants' supplies was also analyzed. The Caruaru Fair is located in the 18 de Maio Park. It covers an area 40,000 m(2) and is used by merchants who sell several types of products, such as supplies, handicrafts, clay and aluminum utensils, shoes, clothes and medicinal plants. Semistructured interviews were carried out with the vendors who agreed to take part in the study in order to record which plants were sold and their respective indications. The plants were collected, and the species were determined. The information was analyzed with quantitative tools. A total of 169 plants were identified from both surveys, which were significantly different with regard to species richness (p < 0.05) but did not vary in relation to species' Relative Importance (p > 0.05). In relation to the seasonality of the plant supply, habit may explain the lack of some species during certain periods of the year, as most of the absent plants are herbaceous. In terms of the species most sold locally, it was found that spontaneous tree species are well known and extensively commercialized.

“…En este sentido, se seleccionaron 19 especies de plantas medicinales en torno a las que se realizó el presente trabajo etnobotánico. Para su elección, se consideró su importancia medicinal mencionada en trabajos previos, demanda a nivel local y regional, así como su distribución en la zona de estudio (Linares et al, 1990;Nicholson y Arzeni, 1993;Sánchez y Estrada, 1995;Mendoza et al, 1997;Romero et al, 1999;Pérez et al, 2003;Villavicencio y Pérez, 2005Martínez-Moreno et al, 2006;Callejas et al, 2008;Linares y Bye, 2009;Mendoza y Lugo;Zavala-Fragoso, 2011). Se recolectaron las 19 especies con apoyo de los miembros de la comunidad.…”

Resumen: Este estudio se realizó en Cantarranas, Huehuetla, Hidalgo, México, donde el tipo de vegetación dominante es bosque tropical perennifolio. Cantarranas presenta alto grado de marginación, limitado acceso a servicios de salud y pocas oportunidades para incrementar sus ingresos económicos. El objetivo fue planear el aprovechamiento sostenible y conservación de plantas medicinales usadas en la comunidad como una alternativa para resolver problemas ambientales y sociales. Las especies fueron evaluadas con métodos etnobotánicos y ecológicos. Se usaron entrevistas estructuradas para documentar el valor cultural de las especies, nivel de fi delidad, prácticas e intensidad de manejo, usos y padecimientos tratados. La distribución y abundancia se obtuvo con el método de transectos lineales. Las 19 especies evaluadas son usadas para atender 51 padecimientos, los desórdenes gastrointestinales se tratan mayormente mediante las plantas medicinales. Las especies con mayor índice de valor cultural fueron Equisetum myriochaetum (0.69), Psidium guajava (0.37), Jaegeria macrocephala (0.26592) y Costus scaber (0.25496). Hamelia patens registró el mayor nivel de fi delidad (96%), seguida de E. myriochaetum (88%). Los valores de intensidad de manejo fueron más altos en C. scaber (9.2) y P. guajava (9). La densidad poblacional osciló entre 1 y 387 individuos por hectárea, según la especie y forma de vida. Mediante la vinculación sociedad y Universidad, se desarrolló e impartió un diplomado para los miembros de la comunidad, relacionado con el uso y aprovechamiento sostenible de plantas medicinales. Se constituyó una Sociedad Cooperativa con mujeres de la comunidad, ellas trabajan en la conservación y aprovechamiento sostenible de plantas medicinales.

The vegetation type is tropical evergreen forest. Cantarranas presents high degree of marginalization, limited access to health services, and few opportunities to increase its economic income. The aim was to design a strategy for the sustainable harvesting and conservation of medicinal plants used by the community, as an alternative to solve social and environmental problems. The species were evaluated by ethnobotanical and ecological methods. Using structured interviews, index of cultural value, index of Friedman value, practices and management intensity, and uses and conditions treated were documented. The distribution and abundance were obtained with line transects method. Nineteen plants were evaluated, they are used to treat 51 conditions; the gastrointestinal disorders were the most frequently treated with medicinal plants. The species with the higher index of cultural value were Equisetum myriochaetum (0.69), Psidium guajava (0.37), Jaegeria macrocephala (0.26) y Costus scaber (0.25). Hamelia patens recorded the highest level of fi delity (96%), followed by E. myriochaetum (88%). The values of man...
