Abstract

BACKGROUND

An ethnobotanical study in the Cumbres de Monterrey National Park (CMNP), Nuevo Leon, Mexico was conducted. In spite of the large area (1,773.7 km2), heterogeneous physiography, contrasting plant communities and high species diversity of the CMNP, very little was previously known about its useful plants. Based on 95 interviews with inhabitants of the region who were 35 years old or older, we recorded ethnobotanical data of 240 species (comprising 170 genera and 69 botanical families), and 146 different uses. Most of the cited uses (98) were found to be medicinal ones.

METHODS

Ninety five inhabitants 35 years old and oldest were interviewed to know what are the main plant uses in the Cumbres de Monterrey National Park.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Two hundred and forty species, 170 genera, and 69 families of useful plants and 146 different uses were recorded. We found most of the uses to be medicinal (98), while the rest (48) represent various purposes. Herbaceous plants are the most used, followed by shrubs and trees.

摘要

背景

在墨西哥新莱昂州的蒙特雷山脉国家公园（CMNP）开展了一项民族植物学研究。尽管CMNP面积广大（1773.7平方公里），地貌多样，植物群落各异，物种多样性高，但此前对其有用植物却知之甚少。基于对该地区35岁及以上居民的95次访谈，我们记录了240种植物（包括170个属和69个植物科）的民族植物学数据以及146种不同用途。发现所提及的用途中大部分（98种）是药用用途。
