Bioknowledgy of the Ecuadorian Flora. Some medicinal plants and their uses.

Medicinal plants in

Ecuador add up to 3118 species, 75% being

native, of these, 80 were investigated by the

PUCE-KRIBB project, finally 30 species were collected in this publication for being the most

promising. We hope that this book contributes to new research on

active ingredients that at some point will be used for the preparation of

phytopharmaceuticals, for the benefit of society in general.
