Abstract

Plants are the source of important drugs. Their secondary metabolite content is subject to environmental influences. Scientific evaluation of the chemical diversity of plants may be useful in exploring their medicinal as well as other uses. Still there are numerous medicinal plants for which no results either of ethnopharmacological uses or phytochemical studies could be found in the literature. Ethnobotany deals with the relationship between humans and plants. It has played an important role in the development of new drugs for centuries. Ethnobotany is attracting professionals from diverse academic backgrounds and interest. Ethnobotany may play an important role in securing sustainable supplies, and it can also be of use in the search for new medicinal receipe which could be used to treat diseases for which no standard therapy has been reported. Harnessing chemical diversity based on phytochemical research of species containing potentially active principles would be more relevant in context of ethnobotanical research.
