Ethnobotanical inventory of medicinal plants used by the Guaymi Indians in western Panama. Part II.

ABSTRACT

A list of newly identified plants is presented to supplement Part I (Joly et al. (1987) Journal of Ethnopharmacology 20, 145-171). A comparative analysis is made between our work and two other recent inventories of plants used by the Guaymi Indians of Panama and Costa Rica. As in Part I, the results of a literature survey are also provided, including medicinal uses, known constituents and pharmacological effects.
