Ethnobotanical studies show that there are considerable differences in the selection and use of particular cultivars (Lebot and Cabalion, 1988). Some are used only for ceremonial purposes, others in the treatment of medical disorders with particular cultivars being used for specific ailments and complaints, and the largest number, of course, for regular drinking (Lebot and Brunton, 1985). Thus, the differences observed are of great ethnobotanical interest in terms of their significance in the communities which recognize and use them. 

Several other pharmacological actions have been documented from the Baccharis genus, some of which may be related to their traditional use. In developing countries, acute diarrhoeal disease is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in infants. In an interdisciplinary approach with the emphasis placed on ethnomedical and ethnobotanical studies, 141 plant species used for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, especially diarrhoea associated...

Abstract Numerous ethnobotanical studies aimed at identifying new bioactive compounds have become recognized tools in the search for new compounds with biological application. The use of ethnobotanical data can give enormous value, by indicating plants with specific folk-medicinal uses which might be likely sources of biologically active chemicals.

An ethnobotanical study indicated that pill-bearing spurge is used in Trinidad and Tobago to treat infertility (Lans 2007). 

Although one recent article reports that sacred lotus seed has traditionally been used as an antifertility agent by women in one tribal area in northern India (Mutreju et al. 2008), a contemporary ethnobotanical study records that the seed is given in pregnancy (Singh et al. 2010).

At the start of an ethnobotanical project there are many practical as well as scientific points that need to be addressed. Notwithstanding the challenges that CBD legislation can pose at the start of a project it is important that they are addressed. This is especially true if the data are to be published and used to support the sustainable utilisation of biodiversity for future generations. The Swiss Academy of Sciences web site [18] provides a simple step-by-step guide to what an academic should consider with respect to the implication of the CBD before undertaking an ethnobotanic study.

There is no doubt that ethnobotanical studies can be inspirational as well as physically and mentally hard work. There is so much to learn about how the peoples of the world use and have used our often threatened flora. Nowadays you need the stamina to make sure you have dealt with the ethical challenges of ethnobotanical research [30], but once these issues are addressed the opportunities offered by ethnobotany are well worth the effort.
