AbstractFreelisting and dietary recalls are frequently used methods in ethnobotany to assess wild edible plant (WEP) knowledge and use. Though these ex-situ interviewing methods are practical to perform and may yield large datasets in a short time, they are known to be limited by the informant’s memory and cognitive bias. Alternatively, the much more laborious walk-in-the-woods method may be used, in which informants point out edible plants in-situ. Few studies, however, examine quantitatively how these different methods influence results. In this study, we assessed how these methods capture the diversity of wild edible plant knowledge and use among the Baka, a group of forager-horticulturalists from southeastern Cameroon. We show that within a single population, and when data on consumption frequency are collected simultaneously, the walk-in-the-woods method results in more detailed information of WEP knowledge and use than do freelisting or dietary recalls. Our in-situ method yielded 91 species of WEP, much more than the ex-situ methods of freelisting (34 spp.) and dietary recalls (12 spp.). Our results imply that previous studies based only on ex situ surveys may have underestimated the importance of WEP for local communities. We propose that future studies on WEP knowledge and use frequency should rely on mixed methods, taking an in-situ method as the starting point of their approach.

The Dhankuta district, situated in the Eastern part of the country, is a hot spot for floral diversity. The vegetation zone ranges from sub tropical Sal forest to cool temperate alpine forest. The study of wild edible plant of this area was an attempt to highlight the types of wild edible plants found and their mode of use in local people. Present study records 132 species of wild edible plants belonging to 63 families and 103 genera. Fruits are the most common edible parts of the wild edible plants followed by leaves, young shoot, root or tuber, seeds, flower, whole plants, bark, nectar, nuts, inflorescence and buds.

The Rajis are one of the endangered indigenous people distributed in western part of Nepal enriched in their own mother tongue, culture, beliefs and practices. Owing to lack of proper documentation, the traditional knowledge of uses and practices on wild edible plants by such an endangered community is about to extinct. This paper aims to present the traditional practices and use of wild edible plants by Raji people in Nepal. Our study found that a total of 67 wild edible plant species included in 56 genera and 38 families used by Raji people. Out of them 62 species were angiosperms, one species was Gymnosperm and 4 species were Pteridophytes. The results of study show that Rajis have their traditional way to use different parts of wild plants such as seeds, fruits, leaves, shoots, roots and tubers in the forms of vegetables, pickles, juice, and raw or as fruits.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v2i3.10969 Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol. 2(3): 243-252
