Overview

Ethnobotany is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses the study and interpretation of knowledge, cultural significance, management, and traditional uses of elements of flora (CABALLERO, 1979). Ethnopharmacobotany seeks to enable the use of medicinal plants that have pharmacological activities involved in different situations in the lives of humans and their social groups (CAMARGO, 2008). The objective of this book is to publish the results of the investigation and systematic analysis of the empirical knowledge of the Sucuri community in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, on the use of local flora, with a focus on medicinal plants, highlighting their purposes, forms of use, and therapeutic indications, as well as an ethnopharmacobotanical survey of the species belonging to the most significant medicinal ethnocategory for this community, which reached 50% or more in the calculation of relative importance of agreement on main uses (Pcup).
