对埃塞俄比亚野生开花植物的实地和植物标本室研究提供了社区消费的 203 种植物。这些植物约占该国高等植物物种的 3%，包括草本植物 (37%)、灌木 (32%) 和乔木 (31%)。果实可食用的种类占61.6%，叶占27.7%，茎占14.4%，根占13.3%。和种子10.3%。大约15%被认为是饥荒食品。森林栖息地有 102 个物种，林地 99 个，草地 83 个，灌木丛 52 个，岩石和干旱地区 47 个，耕地 41 个，河岸 31 个，路边/受干扰地区 25 个。海拔分布在 1500-2400 m 之间有 148 个物种，1500 m 以下有 144 个物种，2400 m 以上有 81 个物种。有些物种是野生-半野生-驯化的连续体。为了实现食物来源多样化、确保粮食安全以及维护生物多样性和环境完整性，需要进行全面的民族植物学研究、实施适当的保护措施以及将有前景的类群驯化并整合到现有作物中。
Field and herbarium studies on wild flowering plant of Ethiopia furnished 203 species consumed by the community. These account for about 3% of the higher plant species in the country and comprise herbs (37%), shrubs (32%), and trees (31%). Species with edible fruits contributed to 61.6%, leaves 27.7%, stems 14.4%, roots 13.3%. and seeds 10.3%. About 15% are considered famine foods. Forest habitats gave 102 species, woodlands 99, grassland 83, bushlands 52, rocky and dry areas 47, cultivated places 41, riverbanks 31, and roadsides/disturbed areas 25. The altitudinal distribution gave 148 species between 1500-2400 m, 144 below 1500 m and 81 above 2400 m a.s.l. Some species are wild-semiwild- domesticated continuum. Full-scale ethnobotanical studies, implementing appropriate conservation measures and domesticating and integrating promising taxa into existing crops are favored for the purpose of diversification of food sources, ensuring food security, and maintenance of biodiversity and environmental integrity.
