This study aims to evaluate the versatility of these species and their agreement of use and/or the informants' knowledge and verify the variability of the information on the indicated medicinal species in comparison to other species from northeastern Brazilian areas.
Ethnobotanical information was acquired through interviews with 23 residents of the Quincuncá community, northeastern Brazil. From the obtained data, a comparative analysis of the therapeutic indications with other 40 areas in different biomes was conducted. For that, the relative importance index and informant consensus factor were calculated and compared to other indices evaluated in the literature.
A total of 39 medicinal species were cited and twenty-six species showed similarities among their therapeutic indications; however, species as , , and others can be highlighted, present in community disease indications that were not verified for other areas. , , , and had the greatest versatility. In the Quincuncá community, medicinal species were indicated for 49 diseases, which were grouped into 15 categories of body systems.
This study shows the presented divergence in relation to their therapeutic use; in this point, these divergences reinforce the importance of pharmacological research.
本研究旨在评估这些物种的多功能性及其使用的一致性和/或 informant 的知识,并验证与巴西东北部地区的其他物种相比,所列药用物种信息的变异性。
通过对巴西东北部 Quincuncá 社区的 23 名居民进行访谈获取民族植物学信息。根据所得数据,对不同生物群落的其他 40 个地区的治疗适应症进行了比较分析。为此,计算了相对重要性指数和 informant 共识因子,并与文献中评估的其他指数进行了比较。
共列举了 39 种药用物种,其中 26 种在治疗适应症上表现出相似性;然而,像 、 以及其他物种值得关注,它们出现在社区疾病适应症中,而其他地区未得到证实。 、 、 以及 具有最大的多功能性。在 Quincuncá 社区,药用物种被用于治疗 49 种疾病,这些疾病被归为 15 个身体系统类别。
本研究表明在其治疗用途方面存在差异;在这一点上,这些差异强化了药理学研究的重要性。
