在尼泊尔农村地区，很难获得政府保健设施，人们依靠药用植物和当地医生解决健康问题。这项研究涉及对卡夫勒帕兰乔克地区的民族植物学调查，报告了一些药用植物和原始食谱的不寻常用途。共约谈了32名举报人，其中24人是关键举报人。民族植物学用途涉及116个分类单元，其中药用植物101个，最具代表性的种类为菊科、豆科、女贞科和姜科。用民族植物学指数评价每种植物的民族药理重要性和知情者的知识一致性程度。被调查者共识因子(FIC)显示发热类别的一致性最高。最高保真度(FL)值为用于皮肤病的巨型水仙、用于发烧的鳞茎、用于胃肠疾病的芒果和木兰。数据记录了当地植物的丰富性和农村地区民族社区使用的药用植物物种的传统知识。当地居民积极参与药用植物物种的养护和管理，将鼓励今后开展可持续发展尼泊尔这些农村地区生物和文化多样性的项目。
In rural areas of Nepal, where it is difficult to get access to Government health care facilities, people depend on medicinal plants and local healers for health problems. This study concerns an ethnobotanical survey of the Kavrepalanchok District, reporting some unusual uses of medicinal plants and original recipes. A total of 32 informants were interviewed, 24 of them being key informants. Ethnobotanical uses concerned 116 taxa, of which 101 were medicinal plants, with the most representative species belonging to Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, and Zingiberaceae. Ethnobotanical indexes were used to evaluate the ethnopharmacological importance of each plant species and the degree of agreement among the informants' knowledge. Informant consensus factor (Fic) showed that the fever category had the greatest agreement. Highest fidelity level (FL) values were found forCalotropis giganteaused for dermatological diseases,Drymaria cordatafor fever,Mangifera indicaandWrightia arboreafor gastrointestinal disorders. Data document the richness of the local flora and the traditional knowledge on medicinal plant species used by ethnic communities in rural areas. The active involvement of local populations in the conservation and management of medicinal plant species will encourage future projects for the sustainable development of the biological and cultural diversity of these rural areas of Nepal.
