Abstract

This research was carried out to document ethnobotanical data and threats affecting medicinal plants. Semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, face to face discussion, and field visit was employed to gather the required data. A total of 92 informants 21 key and 71 randomly selected informants), of which 48 males and 44 females were used. The study documented 57 plants species which belongs to 55 genera and 41 families. Of these famlies, Asteraceae were represented by 4 species (7.123%), followed by Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae and Rutaceae which is represented by 3 species each. The majority of the species 40 (70%) was gathered from natural habitats while 26% was cultivated and 4%) collected from both. The most widely utilized plants are: Trees 19 (33.3%) species), followed by shrubs 18 (31.6%) species), herbs 16 (28.07%) species), and climbers with 3 (5.3%) species. The society also frequently uses plant parts such as fresh plant materials (68%) and leaves (33%). The most widely used route of medicine application was oral (58%), dermal (23%) and nasal (10.5%). The remaining remedies were taken with some other additives and solvents like water, butter, milk as well as honey. Traditional medicines were prepared by pounding (33.3%), and crushing (24.6%). Carduus schimper and Ocimum forskolei was medicinal plants with higher informant consensus. The disease classes with highest ICF rate (0.93) were fibril illness. The result reveals that there is high preference for Ficus vasta for healing Hemorrhoid disease whereas Cissus cactiformis was used for treatment of Rabies by traditional medicine practitioner. Ekebergia capensis was the highest multipurpose tree species. Key words: Ethnobotany, Guduru district, traditional practitioner, medicinal plants, ailment.

埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚州Guduru地区用于治疗人类疾病的药用植物的民族植物学研究
本研究是为了记录民族植物学数据和影响药用植物的威胁。采用半结构化访谈、问卷调查、面对面讨论、实地考察等方法收集所需数据。共92名被调查者(21名重点被调查者和71名随机抽取的被调查者),其中男性48名,女性44名。该研究记录了57种植物,隶属于41科55属。其中,菊科有4种(7.123%),大戟科、豆科和芸香科各有3种。大多数物种40(70%)来自自然生境,26%来自人工栽培生境,4%来自两种生境。利用最多的植物是乔木19种(33.3%),其次是灌木18种(31.6%),草本16种(28.07%),攀缘植物3种(5.3%)。社会也经常使用植物部分,如新鲜植物材料(68%)和树叶(33%)。用药途径以口服(58%)、经皮(23%)和鼻腔(10.5%)为主。其余的补救措施是用一些其他添加剂和溶剂,如水、黄油、牛奶和蜂蜜。中药的制备方法为捣碎(33.3%)和粉碎(24.6%)。山茱萸和山茱萸是信息一致性较高的药用植物。ICF率最高的疾病类型为原纤维性疾病(0.93)。结果显示,中医对大榕树用于治疗痔疮疾病有较高的偏好,而仙鹤用于治疗狂犬病。柽柳是最高的多用途树种。关键词:民族植物学;古都鲁地区;中医;
