“…It is consumed as a nutraceutical vegetable in Benin 6 and Nigeria 7 as well as Vietnam. 8 However, the plant is known to contain the pyrrolizidine alkaloids jacobine and jacoline. 9 Medicinally, C. crepidioides is used in Cameroon to get rid of intestinal worms, 10 in Uganda to treat human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS, 11 and in the Ivory Coast by pregnant women “to make the baby move.” 12…”

The leaf, stem, and floral essential oils of Crassocephalum crepidioides growing wild in central Vietnam were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The major component in all 3 oils was myrcene (59.3%, 26.1%, and 43.3%, respectively). The 24-hour mosquito larvicidal activities of the oil of the aerial parts (stems and leaves) were determined against wild-caught Aedes albopictus (IC 50 = 14.3 μg/mL), laboratory-reared Aedes aegypti (IC 50 = 4.95 μg/mL), and wild-caught Culex quinquefasciatus (IC 50 = 18.4 μg/mL). The high concentration of myrcene in the essential oil likely accounts for the mosquito larvicidal activity observed.

“…Our comprehensive inventory, including historical works, collected previously ignored information on particular uses of species and also drew attention to some species that are no longer used, contributing to the general knowledge of useful species, as has been done in other tropical regions, such as South America (e.g., Cámara-Leret et al [ 38 ]), Asia (e.g., Vu and Nguyen [ 39 ]) or Africa (e.g., Nortje and van Wyk [ 40 ]; Welcome and Van Wyk [ 41 ]), where this knowledge is still insufficient.…”

Cabo Verde’s biodiversity is threatened by activities that meet human needs. To counteract this, an integration of scientific and indigenous knowledge is required, but no comprehensive list of the useful local plants is available. Thus, in this work, we assess (1) their diversity and phytogeography; (2) the role of geophysical, historical, and socio-economic factors on species distribution and uses; and (3) potentially relevant species for sustainable development. Data were obtained from flora, scientific publications, historical documents, herbarium specimens and field work. Many species were introduced since the 15th century to support settlement and commercial interests. We identified 518 useful taxa, of which 145 are native, 38 endemic and 44 endangered. The number of useful taxa is correlated with altitude and agricultural area, as well as with rural population indicators, but not with total population or socio-economic indicators such as gross domestic product. Native taxa are mostly used for fuelwood, forage and utilitarian purposes. Agrobiodiversity and traditional practices seem crucial to cope with recurrent droughts and ensure food security. Most of the introduced species do not present conservation problems, contrasting with the overuse of some native taxa. The safeguarding of native populations will ensure the sustainable exploitation of these resources and benefit the local economy.

“…Furthermore, the participatory research appraisal tools such as direct observation, interviews, and field visiting were applied in collecting traditional knowledge of wild bananas (Shuaib et al 2021;Vu and Nguyen 2017). The traditional knowledge included local names, ecological distribution, and plant usages such as edible and/or medicinal usage, following the method of Fontefrancesco et al (2022), Abidullah et al (2021), Shuaib et al (2021), Tongco (2007).…”

Northern Viet Nam displays a remarkable diversity of wild bananas (Musa L.), including the species from which the majority of cultivated bananas derive. The taxonomy and exact distribution of these wild bananas are however not well known, limiting their conservation and use. In the present study, we describe the morphology, ecology, and phytogeography of the 6 Musa species that were collected between 2016 and 2019 in northern Viet Nam: Musa acuminata Colla, M. balbisiana Colla, M. itinerans Cheesman, M. haekkinenii N.S.Ly & Haev, M. lutea R.V.Valmayor, L.D.Danh and Hakkinen and M. paracoccinea A.Z.Liu and D.Z.Li:. Of these, M. itinerans was the species with the most widespread distribution range, occurring as large mats in various habitats between 136 and 1331 m, whereas M. acuminata was found between 136 and 989 m and M. balbisiana was between 108 and 981 m. Furthermore, M. lutea, M. paracoccinea and M. haekkinenii were distributed in open areas with low competition for light, between 80 and 800 m. These latter three species have the potential to become ornamental plants, being characterized by bright and colourful upright inflorescences. The data presented here will help in providing a valuable contribution to the conservation and use of the wild bananas in northern Viet Nam.
