Abstract(s)
In recent years, the interest in the practical applications of local people's knowledge has been renewed. The potential uses of ethnobotanical information can be used for new marketable purposes. In order to keep alive the ancient relationship of useful flora amongst our people, we carried out ethno-botanical research in the Center of Portugal (Santarem). Useful plants and traditional remedies and other uses are inventoried. Morphological aspects of the most important taxa are registered. A palynological investigation on the honeybee nectar and pollen sources gathering strategies using honey and pollen loads has been developed in the central part of Portugal (Santarem). All the data collection was compared with the results of floristic surveys in the region.
