  • ESTUDIOS ETNOBOTÁNICOS EN LA CONURBACIÓN BUENOS AIRES-LA PLATA, ARGENTINA: PRODUCTOS DE PLANTAS MEDICINALES INTRODUCIDOS POR INMIGRANTES PARAGUAYOS JULIO A. HURRELL JEREMÍAS P. PUENTES PATRICIA M. ARENAS Biología urban ethnobotany Paraguayan migration therapeutic plant products pluricultural urban context This contribution includes partial results of a research line on Urban Ethnobotany, which studies the local knowledge about plants, their parts and derivatives in Buenos Aires-La Plata conurbation (Argentina). Medicinal plant products recently introduced in the study area by immigrants from Paraguay are included. The products correspond to ten species: Achyrocline alata (“jateí-ka’á”), Baccharis gaudichaudiana (“jaguareté-ka’á”), Cuphea lysimachioides (“ysypó-peré”), Euphorbia serpens (“tupasý-kambý”), Genipa americana (“ñandypá”), Helietta apiculata (“yvyra ovy”), Lycopodiella cernnua (“itá-potý”), Rhynchosia balansae (“urusú-he’ě”), Stevia rebaudiana (“ka’áhe’ě”) and Victoria cruziana (“jacaré-yrupé”). For each case, their products, reference samples, assigned uses, biological activity and studied effects are indicated. The presence of the products of these species in the metropolitan area indicates an increase in local biocultural diversity of both plants and products and their associated knowledge. 2016 artículo científico 0524-0476 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=685773788004 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6857 Bonplandia application/pdf Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) Bonplandia (Argentina) Num.1 Vol.25
