on the medicinal use of plants has been recorded directly on the basis of a detailed survey
on herbalists, folk healers, older experienced people, and midwives. All those that might
have been obtained information from secondary sources were excluded. Only remedies
that were said to be handed down by oral tradition were considered. Furthermore, only
species that could be directly indicated and collected by the persons interviewed are cited.
All the wild plants used have local vernacular names that point to their rather ancient use.
The herbalists were interviewed using a questionnaire similar to the form for botanical
and ethnopharmacognosic investigation of plants used in traditional medicine produced
by WHO (
Penso, 1980). Medicinal plants have been identified based on the “Nouvelle flore
du Liban et de la Syrie” Mouterde (1966, 1970, and 1983). We note that the new phyloge-
netic classification APG II 2003 (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, 2003) was adopted in
order to update the families cited in Mouterde.
