Abstract
ABSTRACT An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in Laayoune Boujdour Sakia El Hamra region to inventory medicinal plants of South of Morocco. 248 informants including 220 local inhabitants and 28 herbalists were interviewed. Data were analyzed using seven indices: Use Value (UV), botanical Family Use Value (FUV), Fidelity Level (FL), Rank Order Priority (ROP), Informant Consensus Factor (FIC) and Jaccard similarity Index (JI). The highest UV value was recorded for Acacia tortilis subsp. raddiana (UV = 0.44). Brassicaceae was the most frequently used by inhabitants of the region (FUV = 0.34). The highest FL was recorded for A. tortilis with a value of 100%. A. tortilis had the highest ROP with a value of 100% for treating gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, and blood pressure. The highest FIC value was recorded for both hair loss and dandruff care and kidney disorder treatments (FIC = 1).
