Abstract(s)
For the first time an ethnobotanical survey has been carried out in the Natural Park of Montesinho in northeastern Portugal. Working with 49 informants (mostly women) from 20 villages we found 133 wild plants, belonging to 45 botanical families that were traditionally employed as food and/or medicine.
