Se relacionan los nombres cient&iacute;ficos de    cada especie, su agrupaci&oacute;n en familia, su representabilidad taxon&oacute;mica,    as&iacute; como las propiedades que les son atribuidas en la zona de estudio.

Las muestras seleccionadas estuvieron constituidas por personas   de uno y otro sexos y diferentes edades, que inclu&iacute;an vendedores   y conocidos curanderos de la zona.          <P>Seg&uacute;n los resultados de las encuestas, las plantas fueron clasificadas   y agrupadas en familia. Para la denominaci&oacute;n del nombre cient&iacute;fico   se utiliz&oacute; La <I>flora de Cuba, de Le&oacute;n y Alain,</I><SUP>2</SUP>   el <I>Diccionario bot&aacute;nico de nombres vulgares cubano</I> de <I>Roig,</I><SUP>3</SUP>   <I>Plantas medicinales arom&aacute;ticas o venenosas de Cuba</I> de <I>Roig,</I><SUP>4</SUP>   y <I>Estudio sobre la medicina tradicional en Cuba I</I> de <I>Fuentes   y Granda.<SUP>5</SUP></I> Los casos dudosos fueron consultados al Jard&iacute;n   Bot&aacute;nico Nacional y al Centro de Ecolog&iacute;a y Sistem&aacute;tica   de la Academia de Ciencias de Cuba.   <H4>   RESULTADOS</H4>   Seg&uacute;n las encuestas efectuadas, se determin&oacute; el nombre cient&iacute;fico   de las plantas, la familia a que pertenecen y la acci&oacute;n terap&eacute;utica   atribuida m&aacute;s frecuente en las zonas de trabajo (anexo).   <H4>   DISCUSI&Oacute;N</H4>   Como resultado de la encuesta fueron relacionadas 112 plantas medicinales,   las que se agruparon en 105 especies pertenecientes a 100 g&eacute;neros   y 59 familias, de las cuales las <I>Aster&aacute;ceas, Lami&aacute;ceas   y Rut&aacute;ceas</I> son las m&aacute;s representadas con el mayor n&uacute;mero   de especies 7, 6 y 7 respectivamente, lo que concuerda para las 2 primeras   con los resultados encontrados por <I>Fuentes</I>, 1985, en otras regiones   del pa&iacute;s. Siguen en orden decreciente las <I>Euforbiaceas, Malvaceae,   Paceae y Solanaceae</I> con 4; las <I>Apocynaceae, Salpindaceae y Verbenaceae</I>   con 3 y fi-nalmente las <I>Amarantaceae, Annonaceae, Piperaceae y Vitaceae</I>   con 2; las restantes familias est&aacute;n representadas con una sola especie.          <P>De acuerdo con las entrevistas efectuadas, se les atribuyen a estas   especies propiedades terap&eacute;uticas para 27 afecciones diferentes,   donde las gastrointestinales -diarreas, espasmo, resfriados, &uacute;lceras,   par&aacute;sitos, etc-, ocupan el primer lugar de las dolencias m&aacute;s   comunes en la zona y para las cuales se recomienda el uso de 30 especies   en diferentes formas. Para las afecciones catarrales -tos, gripe, dolor   de garganta, neumon&iacute;a, etc- se indican 25 especies y para las de   la piel 20.          ]]></body>

<body><![CDATA[The results of a survey carried out among the inhabitants from 7 localities     in the province of Pinar del Rio that allowed to establish the traditional     use of 112 medicinal plants, which are used in 27 different affectations,     are presented. The scientific names of each species, their family grouping,     their taxonomic representativity, as well as the properties that are attributed     to them according to the zone under study, are given. The results agree     partially with those obtained by other investigators in different zones     of the country.     <P><I>Subject headings</I>: PLANTS, MEDICINAL/classification; PLANTS MEDICINAL.   <H4>   REFERENCIAS BIBLIOGR&Aacute;FICAS</H4>      <OL>       <!-- ref --><LI>   <FONT SIZE=-1>Fuentes VR, Rodr&iacute;guez M, Poucheaux M, Cabreras L,   Lara S.
