Abstract

Kaili market, in a city in Guizhou Province, Southwest China was spontaneously organized by local minority. Lots of Miao medicinal plants were traded here, and there are also various ethnomedicinal plants used by Dong ethnic people, playing an important role for the application, conservation and communication of traditional Dong medici nal knowledge. However, few records about Dong medicinal plants from the market had been reported. Based on the approaches of ethnobotany and taxonomy, six investigations were carried out during 2014-2017. The information of the medicinal plants and the plant samples were collected with assistance from the local people in the medicinal market and surrounding areas during the field investigations. The result showed that a total of 111 medicinal plant species used by Dong people were identified, which belong to 65 families and 100 genera. The number of families containing more than four species includes Liliaceae (6 species, 5.4%), Umbelliferae (5 spp., 4.5%), Compositae (5 spp., 4.5%), Araceae(5 spp., 4.5%), and Gesneriaceae (4 spp., 3.6%). Life forms showed that herbaceous plants constituted the highest proportion (79.3%) represented by 88 species. Using part also showed the diversity, while the whole plants used for treating ailments reached to 50% of the total medicine. By comparing with Miao medicine, Dong people have unique methods and experience to treat diseases, especially focusing on traumatic injury and rheumatism. Their medicinal uses are closely related with regional and national characteristics. Finally, suggestions for sustainable development of the traditional medicinal market in Kaili were proposed in the this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
