Abstract
The present study showed medicinal plants and their popular use in the rural settlement Boa Esperança, in Piracanjuba, GO, Brazil. Data were collected from November 2017 to February 2018. A total of 176 species (mostly native) were sampled with the predominance of use to treat respiratory, gastrointestinal problems, kidney stones and various types of infections. The species with the highest number of informations were Dilodendron bipinnatumRadlk.; Morussp.; Pterodon emarginatusVogel; Qualea grandifloraMart. andCochlospermum regium(Mart. ex Schrank) Pilg. With the exception of C. regium, the others species had the maximum use agreement value. The study showed a high richness of species used by settlers. The dissemination of this knowledge of medicinal plants, with an emphasis on native plants, can assist in strengthening the cultural knowledge ofthe local community, encouraging the environmental conservation of various medicinal species used in the region.
