This paper provides significant ethnobotanical information on pharmaceutical plant uses, where some degree of acculturation exists, so that there is urgency in recording such data. The aim of this work is to catalogue, document, and make known the uses of plants for folk medicine in Dehloran and Abdanan districts, Ilam Province, Iran. An analysis was made of the species used, parts of the plant employed, preparation methods, administration means, and the ailments treated in relation to pathological groups. A folk botanical survey was carried out from February 2007 to October 2009. The information was collected from 81 persons (60% men and 40% women) in 20 villages. The informants reported data on 122 species, belonging to 49 botanical families, were claimed as medicinal. This work is focused on human medicinal plant uses, which represent 95% of the pharmaceutical uses. The most commonly represented families were Asteraceae (37.5%), Lamiaceae (20.8%), Rosaceae (18.7%), Fabaceae (16.7%) and Apiaceae (14.6%). Some of the uses were found to be new when compared with published literature on ethnomedicine of Iran. The folk knowledge about medicinal plant use is still alive in the studied region, and a number of scarcely reported plant uses has been detected, some of them with promising phytotherapeutical applications. The results of the study reveal that some of species play an important role in primary healthcare system of these tribal communities.
本文提供了关于药用植物用途的重要民族植物学信息，在存在一定程度文化适应的地方，记录此类数据显得尤为迫切。这项工作的目的是对伊朗伊拉姆省德洛兰和阿卜达南地区用于民间医药的植物用途进行编目、记录并公布。分析了所使用的植物种类、植物使用的部位、制备方法、给药方式以及与病理组相关的治疗疾病。于2007年2月至2009年10月开展了一次民族植物学调查。从20个村庄的81人（60%为男性，40%为女性）那里收集了信息。这些信息提供者报告了122种被认为具有药用价值的植物的数据，它们隶属于49个植物科。这项工作聚焦于人类药用植物的用途，其占药用用途的95%。最常见的科为菊科（37.5%）、唇形科（20.8%）、蔷薇科（18.7%）、豆科（16.7%）和伞形科（14.6%）。与伊朗民族医学的已发表文献相比，发现其中一些用途是新的。在所研究的地区，关于药用植物使用的民间知识仍然存在，并且发现了一些鲜有报道的植物用途，其中一些具有很有前景的植物治疗应用。研究结果表明，一些植物种类在这些部落社区的初级医疗保健系统中发挥着重要作用。
