Medicinal plants of the northeastern savanna are used thoroughly in the popular medicine by the local communities. Though, little it is known abo.ut use of these natural resources, their effects natural therapy and their active beginnings. The present work is part of a project etnobotanical in the Valley of San Francisco that has as initial objective to survey medicinal plants and the traditional practices of therapies used in the free markets, to evaluate his importance for the local populations. The collection of data was accomplished in six free markets at county of Petrolina, state of Pernambuco, at counties of Juazeiro and Sento-Sé, state of Bahia, Brazil, through a questionnaire, being interviewed 17 merchants. The botanical material was collected, prepared and deposited at the Laboratory of Vegetable Production of CEFET/Petrolina. 111 plants of 53 species were classified, belonging to 28 families and 50 goods. The family Leguminosae represented 19% of the sample, with ten species. The species Erytrina mulungu (mulungú), Bauhinia forficata (mororó), Bowdichia virgilioides (sucupira), Anadenthera (angico), Amburana cearensis (smell umburana) and Myracrotrum urundeuva (aroeira) they were found in all of the free markets. These species are native of the savanna and they have high medicinal potential, the collection of their peels, roots and fruits feel irrational and intense form could provoke the disappearance of these species in the Valley of San Francisco. |
