New documentation of the uses of plants in the popular medicine of the Mainarde Mountain, a protected area of the central-southern Apennine characterised by a high floristic richness, is here reported.
Field data were collected through semi-structured and open interviews with native People between 2011 and 2014. The plants were identified and vouchers specimens were scanned to create a Virtual Herbarium. The Ethnobotanicity Index (EI), the Relative Importance Index (RI) and the Fidelity Level Index (FL) were calculated. The plant uses surveyed in the study area were compared with those described in medical and ethnobotanical literature.
Seventy-one interviews were conducted, the age range of the informants was between 21 and 98 years. The inventory included 106 taxa belonging to 45 families; among these, 87 were wild species and 20 were cultivated species. The uses recorded were 429, among these, 69.1% of the uses concerned internal applications to treat digestive system disorders, infections and respiratory system disorders mainly, while 31.9% concerned external applications, especially to treat skin/subcutaneous cellular tissue disorders and injuries. In particular, 17 new uses and 16 unusual and rarely mentioned plants are documented.
The data collected support evidence on traditional uses for plant in the Apennine. Findings from medical flora and from new or rare medical uses reinforce the usefulness of such research efforts.
本文报道了在中央-南部亚平宁山脉的自然保护区——梅纳尔德山的民间医学中，对植物新用途的记录。该保护区的植物种类丰富。
通过 2011 年至 2014 年间对当地居民进行的半结构式和开放式访谈收集了实地数据。对植物进行了鉴定，并扫描了凭证标本，以创建一个虚拟标本馆。计算了民族植物学指数（Ethnobotanicity Index，EI）、相对重要性指数（Relative Importance Index，RI）和保真度水平指数（Fidelity Level Index，FL）。将研究区域内调查的植物用途与医学和民族植物学文献中描述的用途进行了比较。
共进行了 71 次访谈，受访者的年龄范围在 21 岁至 98 岁之间。该清单包括 106 种植物，隶属于 45 个科；其中 87 种为野生种，20 种为栽培种。记录的用途有 429 种，其中 69.1%的用途涉及内部应用，主要用于治疗消化系统疾病、感染和呼吸系统疾病，而 31.9%的用途涉及外部应用，特别是用于治疗皮肤/皮下细胞组织疾病和损伤。特别是，记录了 17 种新用途和 16 种不常见且很少被提及的植物。
收集的数据支持了亚平宁山脉植物传统用途的证据。医学植物区系和新的或罕见的医学用途的发现，加强了这种研究工作的有用性。
