This work provides the ethnobotanical data concerning the traditional use of medicinal plants in Macedonia region (Northern Greece), which has, up to now, been poorly investigated.
The aim of the present study was to collect, analyze, and evaluate information on the use of medicinal plants among different population groups living in Central Macedonia.
The study was carried out in the area of two small cities, Edessa and Naoussa, and nearby villages.
The ethnobotanical data were gathered through extensive and semistructured interviews.
The informants belonged to different population groups living in the study areas and were involved, at least partially, in agriculture.
Together with detailed reports on each species, data were also summarized by some indices, such as Fidelity Level (FL) and Informant Consensus Factor (Fic).
A group of 96 informants was interviewed and 87 plant taxa with medicinal uses were cited.
Medicinal plants are used to treat a wide range of diseases, in particular ailments of the respiratory tract and skin disorders.
The importance of the traditional use of plants to cure and prevent common and some uncommon diseases had been highlighted.
About 55% of medicinal plants mentioned by the informants had been previously reported to be sold in Thessaloniki herbal market as traditional remedies.
Medicinal uses of some endemic taxa had been reported, e.g., Satureja montana subsp.
macedonica, a member of the S.
montana group restricted to Northern Central Greece, Origanum dictamnus, an endemic species of Crete, and six Balkan endemics, i.e., Achillea holosericea, Digitalis lanata, Helleborus odorus subsp.
cyclophyllus, Sideritis scardica, Thymus sibthorpii, and Verbascum longifolium.
Several differences in Traditional Ethnobotanical Knowledge (TEK) were observed in relation to social and cultural components of the population.
Only 7 species (Crataegus monogyna, Hypericum perforatum, Matricaria chamomilla, Rosa canina, Sambucus nigra, Sideritis scardica, and Tilia platyphyllos) were commonly reported by all population groups, whereas 30 out of 87 taxa (34%) were exclusively mentioned by a single group.
All groups are incorporated in the local society and do not identify themselves as members of different ethnic groups, although they try to preserve their distinctiveness by keeping their traditions and dialects.
Nevertheless, our data show that the knowledge regarding the medicinal plant use was rarely accompanied by preservation of linguistic diversity concerning the plant names.
This work contributes to improve the knowledge on the traditional use of plants in the folk medicine of a region like Central Macedonia where different population groups live together, partially maintaining their traditions.
A part of data of this paper has been presented as posted at 112° Congress of Italian Botanical Society (IPSC), Parma 20-23 September 2017.
