Introduction
Plants have provided man with all his needs
in terms of shelter, clothing, food, flavours and
fragrances as not the least, medicines. Plants
have formed the basis of sophisticated
Traditional Medicine (TM) systems that have
been in existence for thousands of years and
continue to provide mankind with new remedies.
Some of the oldest known medicinal systems
of the world such as Ayurveda of the Indus
civilization, Arabian medicine of Mesopotamia,
Chinese and Tibetan medicine of the Yellow
River civilization of China and Kempo of the
Japanese are all based mostly on plants. The
ancient cultures are known for their systematic
collection of information on herbs and their rich
and well-defined herbal pharmacopoeias.
Although some of the therapeutic properties
attributed to plants have proven to be erroneous,
medicinal plant therapy is based on the
empirical findings of hundreds and thousands
of years (Gurib Fakim, 2006).
According to OPS (Arias, 1999) a medicinal
plant is (1) any plant used in order to relieve,
prevent or cure a disease or to alter
physiological and pathological process, or (2)
any plant employed as a source of drugs or
their precursors. A phytopharmaceutical
preparation or herbal medicine is any
manufactured medicine obtained exclusively
from plants (aerial and non-aerial parts, juices,
resins and oil), either in the crude state or as a
pharmaceutical formulation (Rates, 2001).
There is ample archaeological evidence
indicating that medicinal plants were regularly
employed by people in prehistoric times. In
several ancient cultures botanical products were
ingested for biomedically curative and
psychotherapeutic purposes (Halsberstein, 2005).
Knowledge of medicinal plants has usually
resulted from trial and error methods, and often
based on speculation and superstition (Hamayun
et al., 2006). The strong historic bond between
plants and human health began to unwind in
1897, when Friedrich Bayer and Co. introduced
synthetic acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin) to the
world. Aspirin is a safer synthetic analogue of
salicylic acid, an active ingredient of willow bark,
and was discovered independently by residents
of both the New and Old worlds as a remedy for
aches and fevers (Raskin et al., 2002). Medicinal
plants have contributed to humanity’s health care,
source of livelihood cultural traditions, and
financial gains, among others (Hamilton, 2004).
However, medicinal plants are constrained by
procedures such as classification, identification,
and characterization.
Some 80% of the world’s population still
relies upon plants for primary health care; even
today in Western medicine, and despite progress
in synthetic chemistry, some 25% of
prescription medicines are still derived either
directly or indirectly from plants (Farnsworth
& Soejarto, 1991). Nearly 50,000 species of
higher plants have been used for medicinal
purposes. They are also used in food, cleaning,
personal care and perfumery. In systems of
traditional healing, major pharmaceutical drugs
have been either derived from or patterned after
compounds from biological diversity (Bisset,
1994). A trend in phytomedicine is the use of
new plant origin bioactive compounds with the
potential for chemical modification, which will
broaden phytomedical importance. Molecular
biology is also being used in this process and
the pharmacological profiles of these
compounds are screened using new research
equipment and new technology (Cordell, 2000;
Cordell & Colvard, 2005; Yaniv & Bachrach,
2005; Pieters & Vlietinck, 2005).
The use of plants in medicines ranges from
crude preparations or extracts, to refined
extracts and single molecular species. In terms
of categories of use this encompasses food
supplements, herbal medicines, botanical drugs
and prescription medicines. Increased interest
in plants as a source of novel pharmacophores
recognizes their chemical diversity and
versatility, not matched by synthetic chemistry
libraries. In spite of the surge of activity in
synthetic chemistry over the last 20 years or so,
almost half the some 850 small molecules
introduced as drugs were derived from plant
sources. Over 100 small molecules derived
either directly or indirectly from plants are
currently at some point in the clinical trials
process (Fowler, 2006).
BARBOZA, G. E. et al. Medicinal flora of Argentina
The beneficial medicinal effects of plant
materials typically result from the combinations
of secondary products present in the plant. That
the medicinal actions of plants are unique to
particular plant species or groups is consistent
with this concept as the combinations of
secondary products in a particular plant are
often taxonomically distinct (Kaufman et al.,
1999). Ecological function of secondary
products may have some bearing on potential
medicinal effects for humans. For example,
secondary products involved in plant defense
through cytotoxicity toward microbial
pathogens could prove useful as antimicrobial
medicines in humans, if not too toxic (Briskin,
2000). In contrast to synthetic pharmaceuticals
based upon single chemicals, many
phytomedicines exert their beneficial effects
through the additive or synergistic action of
several chemical compounds acting at single
or multiple target sites associated with a
physiological process. This synergistic or
additive pharmacological effect can be
beneficial by eliminating the problematic side
effects associated with the predominance of a
single xenobiotic compound in the body (Tyler,
1999).
Ethnobotanical studies have become
increasingly valuable in the development of
health care and conservation programs in
different parts of the world. The green
pharmaceuticals are receiving extraordinary
importance and popularity. Ethnobotany and
ethnopharmacology have contributed to the
discovery of many important plant-derived
drugs. Soejarto et al. (2005) claimed that future
mass bioprospecting effort must incorporate
important consideration about team scientific
expertise (of all relevant disciplines) together
with expertise in a wide range of human
endeavors, including diplomacy, international
laws and legal understandings, social sciences,
politics, anthropology and good common
sense.
Development of medicinal plants relies
very heavily on the knowledge carried by
indigenous peoples and rural societies.
Herrera Vasquez & Rodríguez Yunta (2004)
argued the importance of taking account of
indigenous knowledge or «ethnoknowledge».
9
The pharmaceutical and biotechnological
industries are much interested in using this
knowledge for the discovery, development
and application, within biodiversity, of new
active products on health and new genes with
properties for food improvement (Heinrich &
Gibbons, 2001). In recent years, the plant
remedies used in TM – both in traditional
herbal medicine and in shamanic healinghave received considerable attention for
ethnobotanist, and today the chemistry and
pharmacology of many of these are well
understood (Cotton, 1997). Chemical analyses
and biological assays have begun to play an
important part in ethnobotanical studies and
there are now numerous examples where
scientific analyses have provided objective
evidence to validate traditional plant use, for
example Homalanthus nutans (G. Forst.)
Guill. (Euphorbiaceae), used by samoan
healers against the viral disease yellow fever;
extracts have been found to exhibit potent
antiviral activity, particularly against the
human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1
(Balick & Cox, 1996). As new uses of
medicinal plants are discovered and
popularized, the concern for sustainability is
being increasingly addressed; concern over
the growth in biopiracy also combines with
the critical need for the conservation of
species and their habitat (Science Reference
Services, 2008).
The search for new molecules, nowadays, has
taken a slightly different route where the science
of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacognosy are
being used as guide to lead the chemist towards
different sources and classes of compounds
(Gurib-Fakim, 2006). Plant derived natural
products hold great promise for discovery and
development of new pharmaceuticals
(McChesney et al., 2007).
Since ancient times, medicinal plants have
been harvested from the wild (Mshigeni et al.,
1991; Balick & Cox, 1996; Sheldon et al., 1997;
Dhillion & Ampornpan, 2000; Singh &
Padmalatha, 2004). In many rural communities,
traditional medicine (TM) is still viewed as the
mainstay of primary health care systems
(Bannerman et al., 1983; Manandhar, 1994;
Svarstad & Dhillion, 2000; Manandhar, 2002)
10
Tomo 34 (1-2): 7-365. 2009

due to its effectiveness, cultural preference or
absence of «modern» alternatives (Plotkin &
Famolare, 1992; Taylor et al., 1995; Balick et
al., 1996; Tabuti et al., 2003).
TM is a comprehensive term which
describes medical knowledge systems such as
the traditional Chinese, the Indian ayurveda, the
Arabic unani, or other forms of indigenous or
folk herbal medicine. In countries where the
prevailing health care system is largely
dependent on allopathic medicine, or where TM
has not yet been incorporated to meet national
health care needs, TM is often referred to as
«complementary», «alternative» or «nonconventional» (WHO, 2002).
It is well established that this type of health
knowledge and practice plays a fundamental role
in the health programs of developing countries.
Indeed, for centuries TM has been in certain
communities the unique health care system
available for the prevention and treatment of
diseases. In addition, there has been an
increasing awareness and understanding of the
potential of herbal knowledge for discovering
newer treatments, and for gaining insights into
the socioeconomic, conservationist and cultural
components of society (Alves & Rosa, 2007).
Nonbiomedical healing systems vary across
cultures but conceptually they often focus on
balance and harmony, which may be treated
mentally, physically, or spiritually (Bodeker
1994; Hewson, 1998; O’Connor, 1998), that is
they favor a «holistic» approach aiming at a
systemic model where multiple biological,
psychological and social dimensions are
interlinked, often in combination with the
patient’s active participation in their own healing
and recovery (McGaw et al., 2005). Biomedical
treatment systems are often conceptually
different than traditional systems focusing on
Cartesian dualism, where body and mind are
treated separately and technological and surgical
procedures are often used for the treatment of
physical diseases (Bodeker, 1994; Hewson,
1998).
There is a worldwide trend of increasing
demand for many popular, effective species in
Europe, North America and Asia, growing
between 8 and 15% per year (Grünwald &
Büttel 1996). In Japan, 60–70% of allopathic
doctors prescribe TM for their patients, and in
China, TM accounts for about 40% of all health
care. Forty-eight percent of the populations in
Australia, 70% in Canada, 42% in the US, 38%
in Belgium and 75% in France, have used TM
at least once. In the United Kingdom, almost
40% of all general allopathic practitioners offer
some form of TM referral or access (Bussmann
& Sharon, 2006). A similar situation exists in
Latin America, where large volumes of
medicinal plants are sold in urban markets
(Shanley & Luz, 2003). Regional Office for
the Americas (AMRO/PAHO) reports that 71%
of the populations in Chile and 40% of the
population in Colombia use TM.
Current research in drug discovery from
medicinal plants involves a multifaceted
approach combining botanical, phytochemical,
biological, and molecular techniques. In order
to understand the biological activity of a plant,
be it medicinal, poisonous, or nutritive, it is
necessary to know its chemical constituents.
Thus, they are plant secondary and primary
metabolites (e.g. alkaloids, terpenoids,
phenolics, gums, mucilages, carbohydrates,
amino acids, proteins, fatty acids, glycolipids,
etc.) that organize medicinal plants (Croteau et
al., 2000).
Knowledge of plant bioactivity has been
accumulated by experimentation over centuries
by people living in intimate association with their
environment. Therefore, ethno-directed research
is very useful in drug discovery and development
(Cox & Balick, 1994; Heinrich & Gibbons,
2001). However, accelerated acculturation is
disintegrating ethnopharmacological information
often faster in many areas than the extinction of
plant species, which rampant deforestation
invariably entails (Sanz-Biset et al., 2009). This
problem is particularly serious in the tropical
rainforests (Plotkin & Famolare, 1992). Soejarto
& Farnsworth (1989) stress the special
significance of these tropical areas as sources of
new pharmaceutical agents. Mendelsohn &
Balick (1995) conclude that only one-eighth of
all drugs that can be potentially developed from
the rainforests of the world, have been
discovered. Only the Amazon has approximately
16% of all the plant species that exist today on
BARBOZA, G. E. et al. Medicinal flora of Argentina
the Earth, and this wealth increases towards the
west of the region (Schultes & Raffauf, 1990;
Sanz-Biset et al., 2009).
The use of plants in the practice of medicine
represents one of the biggest human use of the
natural world. There is no reliable figure that
11
represents the total number of medicinal plants
on Earth, and national or regional estimations
vary considerably (Schippmann et al., 2002).

Bioprospecting as the search for value in
the biological world is an incredibly ancient
practice. In a general way, any time that a person
searches for food or other biological value in
their enviroment, they are bioprospecting
(McClatchey, 2005). Bioprospecting refers
Basualdo e t al., 1991; Acosta
Solís, 1992; Mereles, 2009
Arnold et al., 2000
herein to the search for unknown therapeutic
compounds found in organisms. However, this
notion may also imply appropriation of legal
entitlements on indigenous, especially
biomedical knowledge of natural resources. The
1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
establishes sovereign national rights over
biological resources and commits member
countries to conserve them, share the benefits
resulting from their sustainable use, i.e., finding
new drugs, crops, and industrial products, while
conserving the resources for future research.
The World Trade Organization (WTO), by
12

contrast, recognizes ownership of technology
only, rather than knowledge.
Problems associated with biopiracy or
excessive restrictions on research have come to
assume policy prominence in the general
thematic area of ‘medicinal plant conservation
and use’. The fair and equitable sharing of
benefits from bioprospecting is required under
the Convention on Biological Diversity, but it
is not always easy to achieve these ideals in
practice. While experience is accumulated in
how this may practically be achieved, it is
important, at the present time, that controls
imposed on scientific research to prevent
biopiracy or theft of local and indigenous
intellectual property do not unduly restrict
research that has little or nothing to do with
these matters (Hamilton, 2004).
World trade in medicinal plants accounts
for about 30 percent of the total drug market.
This percentage excludes plants used as raw
material sources for the essential oils required
to manufacture cosmetics, food additives and
for other non-medicinal purposes (AddaeMensah, 2000). Most of these medicinal plants
come from less industrialized countries that
supply them as cheap raw materials to the
multinational pharmaceutical manufacturers in
the more industrialized countries. Of 76
compounds obtained from higher plants that are
present in US prescriptions, only 7 percent are
commercially produced by total synthesis
(Farnsworth & Soerjarto, 1991). In 1976,
imports of medicinal plants worldwide were
estimated to be $US 355 million. This rose to
$US 551 million by 1980 — an increase of
over 60 percent within four years (Principe,
1989). But when these medicinal plants are
processed into suitable dosage forms as safe
and efficacious drugs, they are sold to the public
at prices far beyond the affordable range for
the majority of people in the relatively poor
countries. Yet it is the botanic resources of these
same countries that make possible the
manufacture of these drugs for commercial
markets (Addae-Mensah, 2000). Of the drugs
prescribed in developed countries, 25% derives
from about 100 plant species (Comer & Debus,
1996). Natural products also provide the
scaffold molecules to synthesize further
molecules (Miller & Brewer, 1992; Grifo et
al., 1997). The economic impact of medicinal
plants on the structure of local and national
policies is by no means negligible. In the late
1990s, the annual market value of herbal drugs
used worldwide was estimated to be around US
$45 billion. Today, their value ranges from
US $60 billion to US $100 billion (Shasany et
al., 2007).
Sustainable use of wild populations of
medicinal plants requires robust assessment of
the distribution and abundance of target species.
While it is increasingly recognized that
sustainable harvest of wild populations ‘‘is one
of the most misunderstood and misused concepts
in today’s conservation arena’’ (Struhsaker,
1998), and that sustainable use has no direct
connection with the more encompassing concept
of ‘ecological sustainability’ (Hall & Bawa,
1993), in practical terms there are often limited
alternative options available to resource
managers, especially given the long history of
dependence of rural communities on harvesting
from natural habitats, whether officially
sanctioned or not. Ex situ cultivation and
farming of target resource species is the most
preferable option (Cunningham, 1994; Nantel
et al., 1996; Tran et al., 2001; Pfab & Scholes,
2004).
The diversity of life on Earth is dramatically
affected by human alterations of ecosystems and
the reverse is also true: biodiversity in the broad
sense affects the properties of ecosystems and,
therefore, the benefits that humans obtain from
them (Díaz et al., 2006). In general people who
rely most directly on ecosystem services, such
as subsistence farmers, the rural poor, and
traditional societies, face the most serious and
immediate risks from biodiversity loss and this
is a general situation that happen with medicinal
plants (Mertz et al., 2007).
The analysis of extensive databases has
become an important tool evaluating the
knowledge and conservation status of the
biodiversity. A recent assessment (Bramwell,
2003) estimates that 21% of the world’s flora
is threatened. If the latter figure is applied to
previously earlier extrapolation that 72,000
plant species are used medicinally, it leads us
to estimate that about 15,000 medicinal plant
BARBOZA, G. E. et al. Medicinal flora of Argentina
species are threatened at least to some degree.
In Argentina there is no evaluation between
species global richness and the occurrence of
threatened species (Villamil, 2006), only data
from Buenos Aires province exist (Delucchi,
2006). In this province 369 of vascular plants
has been reported as threatened from which 71
has medicinal uses.
In different countries, many medicinal
plants are widely distributed and used across
regions. However, relatively few are cultivated.
Thus, the conservation of these plants requires
that efforts are directed to key habitats,
including secondary forests, disturbed areas
and agrolandscapes (Aguilar-Støen & Moe,
2007). The majority of companies, the massmarket, over-the-counter pharmaceutical
companies as well as the larger herb
companies, prefer cultivated material,
particularly since cultivated material can be
certified ‘biodynamic’ or ‘organic’ (Laird &
Pierce, 2002). Nevertheless, the number of
medicinal plant species currently in formal
cultivation for commercial production does not
exceed a few hundred worldwide – less than
1% of the total number of medicinal plants
used. One explanation why are so few species
cultivated may be found in the observation that
cultivated plants are sometimes considered
qualitatively inferior when compared with
wild-gathered specimens (Schippmann et al.,
2006). Scientific studies partly support this.
Medicinal properties in plants are mainly due
to the presence of secondary metabolites which
the plants need in their natural environments
under particular conditions of stress and
competition and which perhaps would not be
expressed under monoculture conditions.
Active-ingredient levels can be much lower in
13
fast-growing cultivated stocks, whereas wild
populations can be older due to slow growth
rates and can have higher levels of active
ingredients (Schippmann et al., 2006).
Cultivation of medicinal plants is widely
viewed not only as a means for meeting current
and future demands for large-volume production
of plant-based drugs and herbal remedies, but
also as a means for relieving harvest pressure
on wild populations (Palevitch 1991; IUCN
1993; Lambert et al. 1997).
Booming markets with rapidly rising
demands often have devastating effects on wildcollected species. But for example, if the seven
forms of rarity described by Rabinowitz (1981)
is taken in account it is clear that not all species
are affected in the same way by harvesting
pressures: a species which (i) has a narrow
geographic distribution, (ii) is habitat-specific,
and (iii) has small population sizes everywhere,
is more easily over-harvested than species of
any other pattern. Additionally susceptibility or
resilience to collection pressure varies among
species owing to biological characters such as
different growth rates (slow-growing vs. fastgrowing), reproductive systems (vegetative or
generative propagation; germination rates;
dormance; apomixis) and life forms. Species
can be distinguished quite well in their
susceptibility to over-collection if their life form
and the plant parts collected are viewed together
(Table 2). Species most susceptible to overharvest are habitat-specific, slow-growing and
destructively harvested for their bark, roots or
the whole plant. Patterns of medicinal plant use
by local peoples are considered to vary as a
function of plant habitat collection, cultural
changes, and ecological and biochemical aspects
(Albuquerque, 2006).

Many symposiums were organized to
coordinate policies for conservation regulation
management and rigorous scientific research
to enhance and sustain global medicines from
natural resources (Chaves, 2001; Arnason et
al., 2005; Blacpma, 2006, 2007). For example,
the WHO/IUCN/WWF Guidelines on the
Conservation of Medicinal Plants (IUCN,
1993) provided a framework for the
development of national strategies on the
conservation and sustainable use of medicinal
plants and put medicinal plant conservation
on the international agenda for a diverse set
of stakeholders, including national health
authorities, environmental and trade
authorities, conservation groups and policy
makers. The Guidelines constituted an action
plan for the development of IUCN Medicinal
Plant Specialist Group, founded in 1994.
Nowadays new documents have been prepared
(Leaman & Salvador, 2005) referring these
guidelines.
Many important thematic areas of medicinal
plants have been covered by recently published
handbooks: global perspective of medicinal
plants, the evolution of herbal drugs with
civilization, chemical-related information, actual
uses (e.g. cathartic, emetic, carminative,
stimulant, antihelmitic, expectorant, etc.),
specific actions (e.g. anti-mitotic activity or
pupil constriction, etc.), molecular biological
activity under the main chemical headings (e.g.
volatile oils inhibit cancer cells or act on the
central Nervous System), topics such as
antioxidant therapy or aromatherapy,
technologies in plant research (e.g. production,
in vitro cultivation, breeding, etc.), latest
developments in medicinal applications, hopes,
legal issues, conservation, ethnobotany,
challenges connected with the use of medicinal
plants (e.g. phytomedicine and biodiversity,
quality control, clinical use and ethnopharmacy,
etc.) and commercialization (Pengelly, 2004;
Packer, 2004; van Wyk & Wink, 2004; Ross,

Demain, 2005; Daniel, 2006; Ramawat &
Merillo, 2008; Ramawat, 2008; Garrido, 2008;
Dewick, 2009).
In last years many contributions were also
made dealing with macroregions (Roth &
Lindorf, 2002; Gurib-Fakim & Brendler, 2004;
Wiart, 2006; Khare, 2007), countries
(Watanabe et al., 2005; Brouwer et al., 2005;
González Torres, 2005; Libman et al., 2006;
Pin & Céspedes, 2009), special sites and
taxonomic groups (Addae-Mensah, 2000;
Kinghorn, 2002; Tene et al., 2007; Kultur,
2007; Teklehaymanot & Giday, 2007;
Upadhyay et al. 2007; Au et al., 2008; Lulekal

(Kumara et al., 2007; Adams et al., 2007),
health effects of chemical compounds (Okuda,
2005), ethnic groups (Coe, 2008), specific
practices (Ticktina & Paule Dalleb, 2005;
Mohagheghzadeh et al., 2006) and resources
to document, conserve and disseminate
ancient knowledge (Gaikwad et al., 2008).
Halberstein (2005) reported an extensive
bibliography on herbal interventions: 202
books ranging from 1847 to 2005 that reflect
the profuse studies made in this field.
A big progress on the study of medicinal
plants has been made in Latin America in the
last years (Calixto, 2005). Nevertheless,
complete catalogs of native medicinal species
are still missing for many countries.
Argentina is the most extensive temperate
country in South America (Fig. 1). A large part
of its biodiversity can be attributed to the fact
that in this territory different biogeographical
regions converge (Zuloaga et al. 1999, 2008).
The wide expanse of its continental area
(2,791,810 km²), as well as its varied
topographical, climatic and vegetational features,
are essential to the formation of one of the most
diverse flora in the southern Neotropics.
Argentina is bordered by Uruguay, Brazil and
the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Paraguay and
Bolivia to the north, and Chile to the west (Fig.
1). The country is characterized by a wide range
of macrohabitats across elevation and climatic
gradients, from 7,000 m to the coastal plains
and from subtropical to polar climates. Among
these macrohabitats we can find the
phytogeographic regions of Patagonia, Chaco,
Altoandina, and Aconquija (Davis et al., 1997).

Argentina is also one of the 25 most diverse
countries in the world due to their species
richness and endemism (Caldecott et al., 1996;
Zuloaga et al., 2008). In this country, the
Northeast and Northwest regions have the
highest number of families, genera and species,
Misiones and Salta being the most important
provinces (Zuloaga et al., 1999). In a recent
analysis of the taxonomic diversity of the
Argentine Dicots, Juárez et al. (2006) found
that diversity of this group could not be
explained by the area of provinces where they
lived, but it varied through latitudinal and
longitudinal gradients. They showed that the
taxonomic diversity of these plants increases
from high to low latitudes and west–east
longitudes, and that main diversity centers are
located in the Northeast region of this country.
The high diversity of the Northwest provinces
(e.i. Salta, Jujuy, Tucumán) was explained by
the latitudinal gradient: this could be due to
that tropical eco-regions have their limits of
distribution in this region of Argentina, which
added to the others eco-regions generate a high
environmental heterogeneity (Juárez et al.,
2006).
With a rich endemic flora, Argentina has
9938 species (Zuloaga et al., 2008), distributed
in 274 families. Hence, the potential for
developing pharmaceutical bioprospecting
schemes is considerably high, particularly in
ethnopharmacology. From an ethnobotanical
point of view, the Montenegro’s Materia Médica
(1702) was the first contribution about the
medicinal plants from Paraguay and Misiones
(Quintana, 1945) but Plantae Diaphoricae
(Hieronymus, 1882) was the first scientific
treatment and significant bibliographical work
in medicinal plant studies in Argentina; since
then, research on folk medicine has provided
valuable information from different regions.
Detailed compendia of medicinal species native
to or naturalized in Argentina include the
following: Domínguez, 1928; Sorarú &
Bandoni, 1978; Ratera & Ratera, 1980;
Toursarkissian, 1980; Amorín, 1980-1981;
Amorín & Rossow, 1989-1992; Gupta, 1995;
Marzocca, 1997; Rondina et al., 2003; Alonso
& Desmarchelier, 2006. On a regional scale,
many areas have been deeply studied in relation
to their traditional medicine, the following

The first human populations that migrated
to the Argentine territory twelve or thirteen
thousand years ago were originally nomadic
tribes of hunters and gatherers. By the year 1000
A.D., people all over the territory had already
adopted some sort of agricultural and
horticultural practices, using the fertile banks
of some rivers after flood waters receded,
irrigating some valleys in the arid west or
burning patches in the forests of the humid
northeast (Giberti, 2008).
In the 16th C, the Spanish conquerors of the
geographical area comprising Argentina
estimated the native population to be around
half a million. These communities were
characterized by diverse ethnic origin, social
organization and cultural practices. Nowadays
in Argentina the native population is represented
by 18 ethnic groups (Zamudio, 2005)
concentrated in the areas furthest away from
the Pampas region, which occupies the centre
of the country (Table 3). While some ethnic
groups, as the yamanas and sel nam, have almost
disappeared, others still make up important
components of the population in the northwest
(kolla), Chaco (chane, chiriguano, chorote,
chulupi, mataco-wichi, mocovi, pilaga tapiete,
toba), and Patagonia (tehuelches) (Zamudio,
2005).

In contrast to other regions of America the
cultures of these ethnic groups were not very
well developed before the arrival of Europeans,
with the exception of the kollas, of Incan origin.
In Latin America, indigenous health systems
today range from their traditional and isolated
systems, increasingly threatened by deforestation,
mining, and other activities, to systems strongly
influenced by traditional western medicine.
Between such extremes there is a gradient of
intermediate systems. In many Indigenous
communities, TM is still practised, with a link to
allopathic medicine use. In addition to the use of
traditional healers, known as Shamans (more
formally Opygua, Pai, and other denominations),
many families have their own knowledge and
access to medicinal plants for use in emergencies
(Montenegro & Stephens, 2006). The complete
extinction of whole groups of Indigenous peoples,
such as the Tonocotés, Lule-Vilela, Sanavirones,
and Chana-Timbúes in Argentina, has almost
certainly resulted in a loss of rich information
on local medicinal plants and their ecosystems
(Montenegro & Stephens, 2006).

native groups have lost their identity and have
become totally absorbed by the national culture.
This situation is reflected in the use of medicinal
plants by the people. In rural areas it is still
common to go to the ‘curandero´. However,
these days their use of medicinal plants is
distorted, as they often prescribe ‘herbs´ as
cures, but they do so from a ‘westernized´
perspective. The names used often correspond
to traditional hispanic medicine, but the plants
utilized usually have nothing to do with the
original ones (Villamil, 2004).
In reference to NW Argentina Hilgert and
Gil (2007) afirmed that the state of conservation
of the traditional cultures of this region is variable
and somewhat problematic but to a lesser or a
greater extent all the peoples are related to an
hegemonic culture. The Andean medical system,
it is formed by a complex combination of herbal
knowledge, magic elements and propitiatory
rituals. The general cultural picture were
described as a true tapestry of folk practices
where the elements proper of the region and those
that have been introduced by migrations both in
pre-Columbian times as well as after the arrival
of the Spanish are difficult to sort out.

Argentine medicinal plants are threatened
by overharvesting, habit degradation,
unsustainable cultivation practices, and lack of
authoritative information. The most serious
problem in relation to over-harvesting of the
resource, and the consequent impact on its
conservation, appears to be massive collection
for commercialization in urban centres (Noher
de Halac et al., 1985) rather than the effect that
local use by indigenous groups would have on
the plant populations. Understanding the
fundamentals of the use and preservation of such
a natural resource is thus a determining factor
in the development of any research framework.
Among the immediate actions that are
necessary to insure the survival of medicinal
plant species, and the opportunity to use them
sustainably, Villamil (2004) reported the
following: (1) preparation of an up-to-date list
of species used for medical purposes in the
countries of the region; (2) survey of the state
of their conservation using the categories of
threat; (3) legislation concerning trade needs to
be revised and its enforcement strengthened;
development of methods of cultivation; (4)
publicity campaign to instruct the public about
this issue and (5)establishment of a national
seed or germplasm bank.
The objectives of this work are as follows:
1) to introduce a general review of medicinal
plants, 2) to report all scientific data available
for us on ethnobotany, chemical composition,
and biological activity of the native medicinal
flora of Argentina, 3) to identify the plant parts
used, and its application, 4) to consider the
taxonomical richness of the native medicinal
flora, 5) to determine endemism areas of the
medicinal flora, and 6) to evaluate the impact
of the native medicinal flora in bioprospecting.
Methodology
The Argentine medicinal flora is presented as a
checklist where families, species, and infraspecific
taxa are alphabetically arranged. The checklist only
includes native species; naturalized or adventitious
plants were excluded. The selection of the taxa from
the literature was made following three criteria: 1.
when the citation of a taxon specified therapeutic
uses in Argentina; 2. when the citation of a taxon
included the term ‘medicinal’ in describing the
species uses in Argentina; 3. when the citation of a
taxon reported specific medicinal applications, or
the term ‘medicinal’ for Argentina’s bordering
countries.
The information was classified into four
categories: Taxa, Ethnomedical information/
Distribution, Biological activities, and Chemical data.
In the Taxa column, details such as Family, Latin
name, Vernacular name/s when known, Synonyms,
and an Exsiccatum were specified. The nomenclature
of the taxa was carefully controlled following different
databases (Instituto de Botánica Darwinion, 2009),
W3 Tropicos, Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis),
and in some cases, according to the latest revision of
the genera. The vernacular names were taken from
the specimen labels, and according to De la Peña
(1997), Orfila & D’Alfonso (1998), Novara (2003),
Barbarán (2008), Peña-Chacarro et al. (2006), and
Martínez (2008), among others. Synonyms are
mentioned only when these names have been found
in the literature indicating medicinal purposes.
In Ethnomedical information/distribution,
medicinal uses are described according to the plant
parts, and how the herbal is administered (infusion
= hot H2O ext., decoction, juice, etc.). In case the
literature does not indicate the organ used, then Part
not specified is stated. The geographical distribution
and status (native or endemic) of each taxon were
taken from Zuloaga & Morrone (2008), and in some
cases modified according to the latest revision of
the genera. The acronomy for each Argentina
province is: BAI (Buenos Aires), CAT (Catamarca),
CHA (Chaco), CHU (Chubut), COR (Córdoba),
COS (Corrientes), ERI (Entre Ríos), FOR (Formosa),
JUJ (Jujuy), LPA (La Pampa), LRI (La Rioja), MEN
(Mendoza), MIS (Misiones), NEU (Neuquén), RNE
(Río Negro), SAL (Salta), SJU (San Juan), SLU
(San Luis), SCR (Santa Cruz), SFE (Santa Fe), SDE
(Santiago del Estero), TDF (Tierra del Fuego e islas
del Atlántico Sur), TUC (Tucumán).
For chemical data and biological activity tested
in vitro and in vivo, we conducted an electronic
literature search of NAPRALERT (Natural Product
Alert, University of Illinois, Chicago), MEDLINE,
IBIDS (The International Bibliographic Information
on Dietary Supplements), Science Direct, Pub Med,
Bioline International Office Site, CNRS (Centre
National de la Recherche Scientifique), Wiley
InterScience, BioInfoBank Library, InformaWorld,
and CAB Abstracts databases updated to March
2009, in addition to performing hand searches in
other specific literature (Glasby, 1991; Harborne
& Baxter, 1997; Hegnauer, 1973, 1986, 1989,
1990; Hegnauer & Hegnauer, 1994, Eich, 2008)
among others. The keywords used for the electronic

Average number of endemic taxa (average
of provinces) is 28 (24 % with respect the total
116 endemics of Argentina) showing its
importance at the scale of the country. The areas
where the endemic species are mostly found
follow a characteristic pattern: the largest
amount of medicinal endemic species is located
in the provinces of: Catamarca (48.69 % with
respect total 115 medicinal endemics of
Argentina), La Rioja (47.82 %), Mendoza
(46.95%), San Luis (46.95%), Córdoba (45.21
%), and San Juan (43.47 %). When the
relationships are referred with respect the total
medicinal flora per province, Mendoza
(14.28%), San Luis (13. 70%), and La Rioja
(12.67%) are the main important. It appears
that ecoregions of Monte and Chaco have the
highest number of endemisms of medicinal
plants.
According to the data shown, the provinces
with greater diversity of medicinal flora match
the type of species diversity and infraspecific
taxa of the vascular flora reported by Zuloaga
et al. (1999, 2008) and the pattern of Dicots
diversity observed by Juárez et al. (2006): the
Northeast and Northwest regions have the
highest number of families, genera and species
of medicinal plants. In the northwestern region,
the richest area in medicinal species grows 2837 % of the endemics (Salta, Jujuy, and
Tucumán, cfr. Table 6). Misiones, in turn, is
the province with the highest rate of biodiversity
(Zuloaga et al. 1999, 2008), but only with 2.60
% of medicinal endemic species.
It is interesting to point out that the
medicinal endemics are not used profusely.
Even more, 13 of these species are cited in the
literature just as ‘medicinal’ without indicating
a particular use or the organ used (e.g. Schinus
johnstonii, Asclepias flava, Gochnatia
glutinosa, Microliabum candidum, Cnidoscolus
loasoides, etc.). The potential of these plants
has not been evaluated in detail especially in
its chemical compounds (No data: 68 species)
and bioactivity (No biological test: 86 species).
In terms of conservation, 13 endemic species
can be considered endangered since the only
organ used in the majority of them is the root
(Eryngium agavifolium, Hypochaeris
pampasica, Senecio uspallatensis, Trichocline
plicata, Trichocline sinuata, Berberis lilloana,
Berberis grevilleana, Adesmia inflexa, Polygala
stenophylla, and Valeriana ferax). Some species
are very rare with a restricted distribution
(Cyperus spectabilis var. jujuyensis,
Chiliophyllum densifolium, Mutisia saltensis,
Senecio pogonias, S. uspallatensis, Trichocline
plicata, Senna kurtzii, Gentianella imberbis, G.
parviflora, Sphaeralcea philippiana,
Siphoneugena occidentalis) while others need
priorities in conservation practices due to the
progressive destruction of their habitats (e.g.
Polylepis australis, Condalia microphylla,
Lippia spp.).
Discussion
There is an estimated number of medicinal
plants of 40,000-70,000 species in the world
and still there is a lot of traditional knowledge
that has not yet been really explored (Verpoorte,
2007). In Argentina, the composition of the
native ethnopharmacopoeia has increased
considerably specially with the contribution of
detailed ethnobotany studies carried out in
different aborigenous and rural communities
where their healthcare systems continue to rely
on their traditional plant-based medicines
(Martínez Crovetto, 1964, 1965, 1968a, b, 1981;
Arenas, 1981, 1983, 2000, 2003; Xifreda, 1992;
Filipov, 1994, 1997; Del Vitto et al., 1997,

& Yajía, 1998, Méndez, 1998; Pochettino &

et al., 2006; Menseguez et al., 2007; Ladio &
Lozada, 2009; Molares & Ladio, 2009;
Eyssartier et al., 2009). The 1,529 medicinal
species registered in this review, which represent
near the 15 % of the total Argentinean flora,
demonstrate that we have a good source of
promising plants that should be studied in detail.
This value will be still greater if we also
consider the introduced medicinal species.
BARBOZA, G. E. et al. Medicinal flora of Argentina
Many of the industrially and commercially
used pharmaceuticals derive from secondary
metabolism produced by microbes, plants and
animals. About 35,000 (some estimates increase
the number to 70,000), out of 350,000 plant
species known so far, serve medicinal purposes
worldwide, and less than 0. 5 % have been
chemically investigated (Shasany et al., 2007).
The search for potentially active compounds
has been the objective of several research
groups and much progress has been done in the
Argentinean medicinal flora in the last years.
Despite of this, ca. a 46 % and a 58 % of the
species remain unexplored in their chemical
composition and biological activity,
respectively, as it is shown in this paper.
This review showed that nearly 300 uses
have been mentioned in literature although many
of them are more or less similar. With the
purpose to retain information as much as
possible we only mention, from the Appendix
I, 75 of them. General weakness, rheumatic
pains, contusions and myalgia, kidney disorders,
heart disorders, gastrointestinal upsets,
neuralgias, coughs and colds, sexual disorders,
are the most commonly reported indications to
be treated with medicinal plants.
In Argentina, regional works had cited the
gastro-intestinal illness as the most frequent
problem whilst ailments connected with the
nervous systems was the least frequent reported
(Molares & Ladio, 2009). In this review, the
pattern found was not so lineal. This highest
frequency for the gastro-intestinal category has
also been registered in numerous studies carried
out in different human groups throughout the
world (e.g., Milliken & Albert, 1997; Ankli et
al., 1999; Schlage et al., 2000; Hilgert, 2001,
Begossi et al., 2002, Scarpa, 2002). The high
citing frequency of gastro-intestinal uses could
be due to the kind of food ingested, foods not
well preserved hygiene and also the easy
diagnosis of these illness and effectiveness of
different species to deal with them. During the
last century, the traditional diet has undergone
changes, resulting in an increase in the
consumption of refined flour and meat, and a
decrease in the consumption of wild and
cultivated vegetables, leading to an unbalanced
diet, lowing fibre content (Ferrari et al., 2004).
23
On the other hand, many of these communities
have no supply of clean drinking water, their
wells being situated close to latrines, or shared
with farm animals, thus increasing the risk of
ingesting pathogens.
The intensive harvesting of wild plants or
their reproductive organs which evidence
neglects in conservation practices or habitats,
poses an increasing threat to the country’s
medicinal plants (Núñez & Cantero, 2000;
Martínez et al., 2006). Medicinal plants are
directly used from the wild. Their use is usually
not fatal to individual plants, however in many
cases like Hedeoma multiflorum, Minthostachys
verticillata, Julocroton argenteus, Baccharis
crispa, Trixis divaricata subsp. discolor,
Passiflora caerulea, and Equisetum giganteum
(Martínez et al., 2006), in Córdoba province,
heavy or continued exploitation risks the
regeneration of the natural sourced population.
Perhaps the principal threat to medicinal species
is nor over-harvesting but the destruction and
conversion of their habitats to other purposes.
Many types of action can be taken in favour
of the conservation and sustainable use of
medicinal plants. Some of these are undertaken
directly at the places where the plants are found,
while others are less direct, such as some of
those relating to commercial systems, ex situ
conservation and bioprospecting. In the latter
cases, actions taken will not lead to in situ
conservation unless they feed back to
improvements in the field. Probably the single
most important role for medicinal plants in
biological conservation is their ‘use’ to achieve
conservation of natural habitats more generally.
This stems from the special meanings that
medicinal plants have to people, related to the
major contributions that they make to many
people’s lives in terms of health support,
financial income, cultural identity and livelihood
security (Hamilton, 2004).
Land use has increased the rate of species
extinction not only by replacing natural
ecosystems, but also by changing the
disturbance regime. In Argentina land cover
changes associated with agriculture, grazing by
domestic herbivores and deforestation have had
an enormous impact on the structure and
functioning of many ecosystems where
24
Tomo 34 (1-2): 7-365. 2009
KURTZIANA
medicinal plants are one of the main vegetation
components, for example natural grasslands and
native forest in intermountain valleys of
Córdoba province (Cantero, pers. comm.). Other
dramatic changes can be found for Tercero
Arriba county, located in the same province
(33°12’S, 64°W), in the Northern Espinal
phytogeographic unit (Paruelo et al., 2001)
where native woodlands were converted to
introduce summer crops.
In order to set criteria to establish the
conservation priorities of a species, based on
its economic and social importance, and
potential genetic erosion, a national program
on medicinal germplasm conservation needs to
be created. This national program should
include: (1) ethnobotanical studies; (2)
germplasm collection and characterization; and
(3) ex situ and in situ conservation. Some
criteria to define species priority conservation
could be described as follows: (a) species with
proven medicinal value, including those
containing known active substance(s) or
precursor(s) used in the chemical–
pharmaceutical industry, or at least those
demonstrating pre-clinical and toxicological
results; (b) species with ethnopharmacological
information widely used in TM, and which are
threatened or vulnerable to extinction; (c)
species with chemotaxonomic affinity which
produce specific natural products.
Best representative families
The three best representative families with
medicinal taxa in Argentina are Asteraceae,
Fabaceae, and Solanaceae. Members of these
families have been used by man for the
prevention and relief of medical disorders since
the dawn of civilization. Today, they continue
to figure prominently in TM, especially in
developing countries.
The economical and medicinal importance
of the Asteraceae, one of the largest plant
families in the world (ca. 23,000 species; cfr.
Bremer, 1994), has been widely described
(Heywood et al., 1977; Wagner, 1977;
Emerenciano et al., 2007). Chemically, this
family has been extremely studied and an
enormous amount of information on its organic
constituents is now available (Emerenciano et
al., 2007). Among the great variety of chemical
classes isolated from these plants, terpenoids,
coumarins, flavonoids, polyacetylens,
benzofurans, alkaloids, sesquiterpene lactones,
essential oils, triterpenes, diterpenes, cyanogenic
glycosides, and other minor constituents, can
be cited (Hegnauer, 1977, 1989; Emerenciano,
2007). In our country, Asteraceae comprises
ca. 1,490 species (indigenous and introduced)
(Zuloaga et al., 1999), and 272 native taxa (ca.
18 %) have been reported with medicinal uses
(this review). The genus Baccharis is one of
the most important considering its enormous
relevance regarding its medicinal, commercial,
and biological applications (Bastos, 2008).
Thirty six species (37.5 % ) of the 96 growing
in Argentine (Giulano, 2000) have medicinal
properties, and the majority of them has been
studied phytochemically (ca. 70 %) or has at
least one biological activity tested (52 %). Only
four species (B. genistifolia, B. pingraea fo.
angustissima, B. sculpta and B. vulneraria) lack
of chemical data and biological test. Senecio
and Eupatorium are also genera with high
number of medicinal taxa (23 and 20
respectively), and coincidently with Baccharis,
chemical and pharmacological information
together is missing for a few members (cfr.
Appendix I).
The second representative medicinal family
is Fabaceae. The tremendous morphological
diversity of this family due to the large number
of species in the world (over 18,000), is also
evidenced in the production of a large number
of metabolites with considerable structural
diversity (Waterman, 1994). The major groups
of secondary metabolites are N-containing
metabolites (true alkaloids, pseudoalkaloids,
cyanogenic glycosides, non-protein amino acids,
lectins), flavonoids, tannins, furocoumarins,
anthraquinones, terpenes, etc. (Waterman 1994;
Hegnauer & Hegnauer, 1994). The main
importance of the Fabaceae is economical
because of the seeds which are rich in high
quality protein, providing man and animals with
a highly nutritional food resource, besides of
the value for its timber, dyes, resins, gums,
insecticides, fibers, forage, fodder, ground
cover, green manures, etc. (Allen & Allen,
BARBOZA, G. E. et al. Medicinal flora of Argentina
1981). In terms of medicinal interest, more than
30 species had already been reported by
Hieronymus (1882) in our territory, and
nowadays 113 native medicinal taxa are
registered (this review). Among them, ca. 42 %
lacks of chemical information and ca. 65 % of
pharmacological activity. However, much
progress has been done in these aspects in some
species, such as Bauhinia forficata var. pruinosa
or Erythrina crista-galli, or the Acacia species.
In relation to Solanaceae (ca. 2,500 spp.),
members of this family are valued in traditional
and herbal medicine for treatment of a wide
range of ailments on a global scale. Its
contribution to medicine and drug therapy
makes it one of the top-ranking families of
drug-yielding plants (Roddick, 1991).
Solanaceae provides a) drugs used in
conventional chemotherapy, b) plants used in
traditional/herbal medicine, and 3) plants used
as a source of precursors of pharmaceutical
steroids (Roddick, 1991). As occurs in
Asteraceae and Fabaceae, this family is also
diversified in the production of secondary
chemical compounds, being the main ones:
alkaloids (simple pyrrolidines, Nacylpyrrolidines, pyrrolidine-type nicotinoids,
tropanes, calystegines, pyrrolizidines),
tryptophan–derived alkaloids, phenylalaninederived metabolites (phenylethylamine,
phenylpropanoid acids, phenylethanoid
alcohols, phenylmethanoids, capsaicinoids,
hydroxycoumarins), hydroxycinnamate
conjugates (hydroxycinnamoyl glucose esters
and O-glucosides, chlorogenic acid, NAcylramines), flavonoids, lignans, terpenoids
(monoterpenoids,
sesquiterpenoids,
diterpenoids, triterpenoids, phytosterols,
steroidal sapogenins/saponins, steroidal
alkaloids), and fatty acids and their derivatives
(Eich, 2008). The medicinal members of
Solanaceae in Argentina comprise 52 taxa, and
with the exception of the Solanum species, two
species of Fabiana, and Grabowskia obtusa,
the remaining ones have at least chemical or
pharmacological information. The most
promising species is Fabiana imbricata «palo
pichi», in which many pharmacological studies
have been focused (Alonso & Desmarchelier,
2006 and bibliography herein)
25
Among the remaining families that
contribute with more than 1 % of medicinal
taxa, Verbenaceae, Lamiaceae, Myrtaceae and
Apiaceae are of central importance because of
its aromatic members. The essential oils
composition of several members of these
families, with the exception of Apiaceae, have
been reported to be effective as virucidal,
antibacterial, antifungal, trypanocidal,
acaricidal, nematicidal, fumigant and repellent
against head lice, or to have analgesic,
antioxidant, anti-diarrheic, spasmolytic,
hepatotoxic, choleretic, antispasmodic, antiinflammatory, cytoprotective, anti-allergic, and
lymphoproliferative activity (cfr. Appendix I).
Medicinal and aromatic plants are a diverse
group of plants with potential to contribute to
economic development (Juliani et al., 2007).
Zygadlo & Juliani (2003) and Juliani et al.
(2007) reported the increasing commercial
demand of herbal, medicinal and aromatic plants
in Mid-Western Argentina. Many species
included in Appendix I integrate the lists of
species given by these authors.
Conclusions
-
The recognized native medicinal flora of
Argentina consists of 1,529 taxa. One
hundred and fifteen taxa are endemics.
-
Knowledge about the chemical composition
and the biological activity of the medicinal
flora needs to be further developed. More
than 45 % of the species has not yet been
chemically analyzed, while 58 % has not been
tested pharmacologically on any subject
considering the information available for us.
-
Asteraceae is the richest family among
medicinal taxa (272) and medicinal
endemics (36).
-
The northwestern and northeastern regions
show the greatest diversity in terms of native
medicinal flora.
-
The provinces of Salta and Jujuy have the
highest number of medicinal taxa in
Argentina (795 and 756 taxa, respectively).
-
The Monte ecoregion is the richest area in
medicinal endemics. With respect the total
26

KURTZIANA
medicinal endemic of the country,
Catamarca has the highest percentage of
endemic species (48.69 %) in its medicinal
flora; at the same time Mendoza has the
highest number of endemics (14.55%)
respecting the medicinal flora per province.
Formosa is one of the poorest areas in
endemics medicinal plants (1.73%). Tierra
del Fuego has not any endemic.
-
Chemical constituents and biological activity
are aspects scarcely explored in the
medicinal flora of Argentina, probably due
to a combination of lack of appropriate
policies and laws to support the use of
medicinal plants to fulfill healthcare needs,
and low interest in their research among the
scientific community. Therefore, due to its
rich flora and empirical background which
should not be ignored, pharmaceutical
bioprospection is a promising ground.
-
Relatively few native medicinal plants
species are cultivated. The great majority is
still provided by collection from the wild.
This trend is likely to continue over the long
term due to numerous factors: most
medicinal plants are traded locally and
regionally rather than internationally, the
costs of domestication and cultivation are
still high, and land in mainly used for
cultivation of food crops. Wild collection
practices are the unique secure valuable
income for many rural households.
-
For threatened and profitable medicinal plant
species, like Minthostachys verticillata,
Hedeoma multiflorum, Achyrocline
satureoides,
Passiflora
caerulea,
Acantholippia seriphioides, Lippia
turbinata, Baccharis crispa, cultivation is a
conservation option because the constant
drain of material from their populations is
much higher than the annual sustained yield.
If the demand for these species can be met
from cultivated sources the pressure on the
wild populations will be relieved. In these
cases, the need for strict conservation of
remaining populations, improved security of
germplasm ex situ and investment in
selection and improvement programmes is
extremely urgent. With respect to economic
viability, as many other endangered species,
as Gentianella parviflora, do not qualify for
cultivation they will enter cultivation only
with the help of public domestication
programmes. For all other harvested
medicinal species the priority conservation
option is sustainable harvest from wild
populations.
-
Due to the richness and distribution of
medicinal flora in Argentina, the importance
of preserving the prevailing natural and
seminatural ecosystems of our territory needs
to be directly addressed. Overharvesting, land
conversion (deforestation and clearing for
agriculture, and urban development) poses a
serious threat to many medicinal plants,
especially given the small population density
of some species or their restricted distribution.
For these reasons, approaches to wild species
collection that engage local, regional, and
national collection enterprises and markets
in the work of conservation and sustainable
use of medicinal species are urgently needed.
The ecoregions that deserve special attention
due to the number of species collected are
the following: Puna, Yungas Chaco, and Altos
Andes, finally the Monte ecoregion deserves
especial attention mainly due to its
endemisms. A national program on medicinal
germplasm conservation needs to be created.
