In this study, the more significant results of extensive ethnopharmacobotanical research carried out by the author in the years 1977-2000 in 175 localities of three regions of Central Italy (Marche, Abruzzo, and Latium) have been reported and compared. The usages of 80 species belonging to 36 families are described, of which 71 were used in human therapy and 29 in veterinary medicine. Uses are suited with the number of localities in which they have been mentioned. Among the wild plant mainly still used, Malva sylvestris, Urtica dioica, and Sambucus nigra are particularly highly considered, while major uses of plants concern these plants in addition to Allium sativum, Rubus ulmifolius, Parietaria diffusa, Cynodon dactylon, and Ficus carica. Unusual phytotherapic uses concern Brassica oleracea, Taraxacum officinale (warts), Ruscus aculeatus, S. nigra (chilblains), Allium cepa (chilblains; to remove thorns and splinters), Juglans regia, R. ulmifolius (burns), and Euphorbia paralias (bites of weevers). Among new uses with only one quotation, we remember Cirsium arvense (intestinal disturbances), Centaurea bracteata (cough), Lupinus albus (calluses), Melittis melissophyllum (eye inflammations, antispasmodic), and Artemisia absinthium (tendon inflammations), while among plants employed in various regions with interesting less-known properties, there are C. arvense (emergency haemostatic), P. diffusa (insect bites), and Scrophularia canina (antiseptic and cicatrizing agent for wounds in bovines and sheep).
在本研究中，作者于1977年至2000年期间在意大利中部三个地区（马尔凯、阿布鲁佐和拉齐奥）的175个地点开展了广泛的民族植物药学研究，现将更显著的研究结果进行报告和比较。文中描述了36个科的80种植物的用途，其中71种用于人类治疗，29种用于兽医学。用途的提及次数与提及它们的地点数量相匹配。在仍主要被使用的野生植物中，锦葵、荨麻和黑接骨木尤为受重视，而除了大蒜、榆叶悬钩子、白斑紫麻、狗牙根和无花果外，这些植物的主要用途还涉及其他植物。不寻常的植物疗法用途包括甘蓝、药用蒲公英（治疗疣）、刺叶假叶树、黑接骨木（治疗冻疮）、洋葱（治疗冻疮；去除刺和碎片）、核桃、榆叶悬钩子（治疗烧伤）和海滨大戟（治疗龙介鱼叮咬）。在仅有一次引用的新用途中，我们记得田蓟（治疗肠道紊乱）、苞叶矢车菊（治疗咳嗽）、白羽扇豆（治疗老茧）、蜜蜂花（治疗眼部炎症、解痉）和苦艾（治疗肌腱炎症），而在各地区使用的具有有趣的鲜为人知特性的植物中，有田蓟（紧急止血）、白斑紫麻（治疗昆虫叮咬）和犬玄参（用于牛和羊伤口的防腐剂和愈合剂）。
