摘要
This article presents the results of an investigation concerning the use of medicinal plants by the people of Nicaragua's Atlantic Coast. Participant observation during parts of the years 1986-1991 was complemented by a five-community, 809-household survey in 1990 and a ten-community botanical collection in 1991. This research is the first to attempt to document the diversity and prevalence of medicinal plant use for this region. The appendix lists 152 plants, along with common names, number and ethnicity of informants, and medicinal uses.
