  • Originality and meaning of the vernacular names of medicinal plants common in the central Middle Atlas - Morocco

    Open Access•Mariame Najem, Laila Nassiri et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnobotany Research and…•2024

    Background: The vernacular naming of plants, including medicinal ones, is not the result of chance. It rather finds its roots in the use of characters and characteristics of plants. In addition to being a junction between generations and different regions of a country, it is also a result of the mixing of civilizations and cultures. This work aims to highlight the diversity and origin of the vernacular names of the most used medicinal plants in t…
