Abstract

Abstract:

Inula nervosa is a plant in the Compositae family which is conventionally used by many ethnic groups as a folk medicine. We conducted field surveys and a literature review to compare the ways in which I.nervosa is used by different ethnic groups. We found that in the Hunan Tongdao region of China, it is uniquely used as a medical drug for the treatment of cuts and bruises. The results of our survey showed that there is a large demand for the plant, but its propagation is difficult and consequently its availability has dropped to a low level. We propose that research on the introduction and cultivation of I.nervosa should be increased, together with further analysis of its uses and potential for increased utilization.

Key words: Ethnobotany, Inula nervosa, Utilization
