Levantamento de palmeiras amazônicas com utilização popular.

Abstract

In the Amazon region there is a vast popular use of palm trees in the most diverse areas. For this reason, we intend to maximize information about their uses, so that later this information can serve the most varied interests of society and in a way that is easy to interpret. The cataloging of species with popular use is being continuously carried out, where the sources of information are concentrated in consultations in some herbariums and libraries in the region and also through excursions in areas of proven traditional use of palm trees by the community, as well as in areas of high floristic diversity of palm trees. The present study contains surveys in order to highlight, as well as group the information obtained. A schedule is being followed that has been partially achieved so far, which includes the cataloging and use of the species, which are accompanied by their botanical and vernacular nomenclatures, class(es) of use(s), part(s) used, product(s) and description of how they are obtained, as well as their habitats and presentation of collection areas.
