This book highlights the results from over a year of ethnobotanical research in a rural and an urban community in Jamaica, where we interviewed more than 100 people who use medicinal plants for healthcare. The goal of this research was to better understand patterns of medicinal plant knowledge, and to find out which plants are used in consensus by local people for a variety of illnesses. For this book, we selected 25 popular medicinal plant species mentioned during fieldwork. Through individual interviews, we were able to rank plants according to their frequency of mention, and categorized the medicinal uses for each species as “major” (mentioned by more than 20% of people in a community) or “minor” (mentioned by more than 5%, but less than 20% of people). Botanical identification of plant specimens collected in the wild allowed for cross-linking of common and scientific plant names. To supplement field research, we undertook a comprehensive search and review of the ethnobotanical and biomedical literature. Our book summarizes all this information in detail under specific sub-headings.

Türkiye provides an exceptionally rich context for ethnobotanical research, thanks to its outstanding biodiversity and deeply rooted historical and cultural heritage. Although the country possesses extensive knowledge of traditional and folk medicine, shaped by centuries of cultural practices, there is still no comprehensive ethnobotanical volume available in English. In rural areas, local communities continue to rely significantly on the diverse native flora for medicinal, nutritional, and practical purposes. However, systematic ethnobotanical research in Türkiye only began to emerge in the mid-1990s. Most of this research has focused on specific regions (Central Anatolia, Eastern Anatolia and Marmara) and consisted of studies of medicinal, edible, or generally useful plants. In the recent decades, ethnobotanical research in Türkiye has become increasingly systematic and comprehensive, extending across the entire country.This book addresses the key plants used by people in different regions of Türkiye. In this context, leading researchers conducting ethnobotanical studies in these regions have contributed chapters representing the current knowledge on the use of plants for medicinal, veterinary, food, animal feed, cosmetic, dyeing, and other purposes. The book also includes chapters on the role of ethnobotanical knowledge in the development of herbal medicine, biocultural collections in Türkiye, the link between ethnobotany and music, and plants featured in post-Republican folk minstrel works.
