Two of the authors have performed a survey in the district of Kessem-Kabana in the Awash valley for the Nomad Development Project (NOM-ADEP). The result is an inventory of the traditional practices; its purpose is to encourage interest in the medicinal, alimentary and technologic fields. One hundred and nine (109) vegetal species and their uses are described. The majority of the species were collected but a few plants found in the highlands were purchased.
