“…They are also used in the manufacture of traditional soft drinks. They have also many uses of a ceremonial nature and in traditional medicine (Adu-Tutu et al 1979;Koffi et al 2015). Indeed, G. kola seeds extract can prevent or cure bacterial infection (Stanley et al 2014;Denloye et al 2009).…”

(2016). Propagation of Garcinia kola (Heckel) by stem and root cuttings. Silva Fennica vol. 50 no. 4 article id 1588. 17 p. http://dx.doi.org/10.14214/sf.1588. Highlights• Roots and branches cuttings from mature forest trees are difficult to sprout.• The highest mean numbers of roots and buds produced were obtained with softwood cuttings.• The aqueous IBA treatment was more effective than the powder in promoting rooting and root development.• Non-mist poly-propagator gave the best propagation results.• Seedling stockplants cut above node 1 promoted most vigorous shoots production. AbstractThe availability of appropriate propagation techniques is a major constraint to the domestication of the forest trees widely used by rural communities; such as Garcinia kola (Heckel). This study tested the ability of root and stem cuttings to regenerate vegetatively when treated with indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and set in non-mist poly-propagator within a shaded nursery. It found that G. kola is amenable to propagation by softwood stem cuttings. Attention was given to the effect of cutting age (softwood, semi hardwood) and IBA application with regard to the sprouting and rooting efficiency. Bud and leaf emergence time were also investigated, as was the coppicing ability of the stump. Results revealed that roots and branches from mature forest trees did not sprout under any culture conditions. The highest percentages of rooting (70-85%) were obtained with softwood cuttings set in non-mist poly-propagator, regardless of hormonal treatment. The mean numbers of buds (2.9 ± 0.4) and roots (2.6 ± 0.1) produced by softwood cuttings was significantly greater than those obtained in the Control. The best average emergence time of buds (25.1 days ± 9.3) and leaves (36.8days ± 8.4) was obtained with cuttings treated with IBA and set in non-mist poly-propagator against, 54.4 ± 12.5 and 72.6 ± 3.4 days respectively for the Control. In general, non-mist poly-propagator gave the best propagation results. When coppiced, the shoots emerging from stumps with one node were the most vigorous.

“…Assim, NF = (Fid/Fsp) x 100. O consenso informante permite avaliar a importância relativa de cada planta, calculada diretamente sobre o grau de consenso das respostas dos informantes (ADU-TUTU et al, 1979;Friedman, 1986), permitindo defi nir a Importância de Concordância de Usos principais (ICUsp) e o Núme-ro de Usos mencionados pelos informantes para cada espécie (NU). Os sistemas de quintais agrofl orestais são conhecidos também como hortos caseiros onde ocorre o uso da terra na qual várias espécies de árvores são cultivadas junto com culturas perenes e anuais e, ocasionalmente, criação de pequenos animais ao redor da casa.…”

As plantas medicinais e a etnobotânica em Várzea Grande, MT, BrasilPlants in medical and ethnobotany in Varzea Grande, MT, Brazil Plantes médicinales et ethnobotanique à Varzea Grande, MT, Brésil Abstract:The study aimed at rescuing the Várzea Grande, MT knowledge of plants used as medicine, how to use and purpose of use. Used the pre-test, semi-structured interviews and direct observation in the period from march to julho/2013. Were cited 86 species in 45 families, Fabaceae and Mimosaceae being the most signifi cant. The leaf is the most used and the method of preparation is tea, for medical use. The process of conservation and management are evident in everyday local. Key words: Ethnobotany. Management.

“…For that reason, we hypothesized that they are likely to be better known by people, also as sources of herbal medicines (Thomas et al 2009a ) . This hypothesis has a relatively long-standing tradition in ethnobotanical investigation and it starts from the assumption that people are more likely to learn, name, and use those plants that are more accessible and/or salient to them (Adu-Tutu et al 1979 ;Brown 1985 ;Turner 1988 ;Johns et al 1990 ;Phillips and Gentry 1993 ;Alexiades 1999 ;Frei et al 2000 ;Casagrande 2002 ;Bonet and Valles 2002 ;Torre-Cuadros and Islebe 2003 ;Voeks 2004 ;Van den Eynden 2004 ;Byg et al 2006 ; . In a recent paper, we found a positive correlation between the accessibility of vegetation and its perceived usefulness in Apillapampa, suggesting that this hypothesis would not only be valid for individual plant species, but also for entire vegetations (Thomas et al 2009b ) .…”
