| 4 | Ethnobotanical Study and Vulnerability of Uvariodendron molundense(Annonaceae)in Gbado-Lite City(Ubangi Eco-region),Democratic Republic of the Congo显示文摘Democratic Republic of the Congo is a real reservoir of medicinal plants.These plants play a major role in the treatment of certain common pathologies in tropical regions.The aim of this study was to list the ethno-medical uses of Uvariodendron molundense,a medicinal and aromatic plant from the Ubangi ecoregion.The ethnobotanical survey was carried out in Gbado-Lite with 200 people using stratified probability sampling.The respondents were interviewed individually on the basis of free consent.The study revealed that the majority of respondents were men(72%)and had a secondary education(37%),followed respectively by illiterates(34%)and those with a primary education(28%),and finally,university graduates represented only 1%of the respondents.83%of the respondents were farmers,while 79%of the respondents were married.The leaf is the most used organ(81%)followed by stem and root bark.U.molundense is used both as food and medicine.The plant treats eight diseases(pain,malaria,cold,hypertension,gastritis,infection,headache and rheumatism).The calculated value of the informant consensus factor is 0.96 and indicates that there is a high degree of consensus among informants regarding the use of U.molundense against these diseases in Gbado-Lite.Decoction is the most commonly used method of preparation(89%)and 50%of the respondents stated that the species is currently not very abundant,while 31%of the respondents felt that the plant was rare.The calculated value of the vulnerability index shows that U.molundense is very vulnerable in its natural environment(Iv˃2.5). | Ruphin Djolu Djoza Colette Masengo Ashande Koto-te-Nyiwa Ngbolua Mawunu Monizi Jeff Iteku Bekomo Damien Sha-T.Tshibangu Dorothée Dinangayi Tshilanda Pius T.Mpiana Mudogo Virima | 2021 | Journal of Botanical Research2021，3，3： | 0 |
