To contribute to the valorization of Corchorus plants, fifteen (15) communities in Côte d'Ivoire have been visited and 432 participants were selected, during an ethnobotanical survey. This survey helped us to identify four (4) different species of Corchorus which are: C. aestuans, C. lobatus, C. olitorius and C. tridens. These different species are grown by farmers in general and also by farmers of vegetables and foods crops. In Côte d'Ivoire these plants are called “Kroala”. Kroala is the name given by Baoulé people from the centre part of Côte d’Ivoire. Krola can be used as main ingredient in the cooking of soups and it can also be used as medicinal plant. At food level, the leaves of different species of Corchorus are used in the cooking of soups for several meals throughout the country. At ethnomedicinal level, these different plant species are used in the treatment of several pathologies such as anemia, constipation... For instance, leaves, roots, leafy stems and seeds of these plant species are used to make several monospecific drugs recipes. For the benefits brought by Corchorus plants to people, the growing of these plants must be encouraged throughout the country.

An ethnobotanical study with phytochemical screening of some Pteridophytes was carried out in the classified forest of Yapo-Abbé in the south of Côte d'Ivoire, in the Agboville Department, precisely in the subprefecture of Azaguié. The objective of this study was to show the different uses of the Pteridophytes of this forest. The approach method is an ethnobotanical survey carried out among the populations of the study area. This survey consisted in drafting a questionnaire beforehand to apprehend the multiple uses of Pteridophytes among the surrounding population and to develop a photo album of Pteridophytes to be presented during the interview. The data collection was carried out using the semi-structured interview method and with the help of an interpreter guide. It identified 19 species of Pteridophytes including six (6) species used as medicinal plants. No other use of these taxa was mentioned. The whole plant is the most solicited or 73.33% for the preparation of medicinal recipes. Various methods of preparation such as decoction (33.3%), kneading (33.3%), softening (20%) and use in the fresh state (13.3%) are used for recipes. single species. There are also different modes of administration of phytomedicaments: drink (42.85%), local application (37.71%), mastication (7.14%) and massage (7.14%). The phytochemical sorting performed on the hydroethanolic extracts revealed that the different drugs of these plants contain sterols, polyterpenes, polyphenols, European Scientific Journal November 2018 edition Vol.14, No.33 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 174 flavonoids, catechin tannins, alkaloids and quinones which give them various therapeutic properties.

Mosquitoes have developed resistance, hence the need for anti-malarial medicines. This resistance calls for therapeutic an interest to therapeutic alternatives, including the medicinal plants. An ethnopharmacological survey was conducted amongst 15 Traditional Healers, recommended by the National Program for the Promotion of Traditional Medicine using semi-structured interviews in the city of Bouna. The ethnobotanical survey conducted in 2019 has enabled the identification of 32 plant species belonging to 30 genera and grouped into 19 families. The most represented families were Fabaceae (5 species) Anacardiaceae (4 species), Annonaceae (3 species), Rubiaceae, Zingiberaceae, Asteraceae, and Combretaceae with 2 species each. The species were mostly trees (63.63%). Leaves were the most frequently used parts of the plants (44.4%). The results of our investigations show that the most used mode is the decoction (42.22%). The oral route (60%) is the most used mode of administration. These species complete the non-exhaustive list of medicinal plants that the populations of Cote d'Ivoire use. It was found out that, people in this area commonly use medicinal plants with trust they have built on the curative outcome witnessed. However, this creates a further work to test for the antiplasmodial activity and to develop of Traditional Improved Medicines (MTAs).

An ethnobotanical survey was conducted to record the various plant families, species, and plant parts used to manage sickle cell disease in the Indenié-Djouablin region eastern Côte d’Ivoire. Nine traditional healers aged 36 to 67 years old were selected in six different villages according to their reputation in knowledge of traditional medicine, their availability and their willingness to share information. A total of 26 species of plants belonging to 20 families were reported to have antisickling activity. Eleven (11) different medication recipes were composed from these 26 species of plants ((Afromonum melegueta (Roscoe) K. Schum., Xylopia aethiopica) mainly). The main plant parts used were stem bark (38%) followed by fruit (18%) and seeds (18%). The majority of the main plants recorded (84.61 %) were wild. From the recorded plants, 65.38 % were trees and 23.07 % shrubs. Most remedies (82%) were made up by decoction and were employed orally (54 %) or by enema (32 %). The potential anti-sickling activity of the plant species recorded during this study could be the effect of alkaloids, polyphenols, quinones and terpenoids compounds found during the phytochemical screening of the 26 plants species.

Abstract. Malan DF, Litta AL, Kougbo MD, Diop AL, Kouassi KG. 2020. Wild edible plants in four Agni tribes of Central-east and Northeast of Côte d’Ivoire: a comparative study. Biodiversitas 21: 4896-4902. An ethnobotany survey was carried out in twelve villages of the four Agni tribes from the Center-east to Northeast of the Côte d'Ivoire, in order to assess the evolution of the knowledge and know-how of these peoples concerning wild edible plants. Frequency of citations and the Smith index of each of edible plants were obtained with data from the survey of 571 informants (279 men and 292 women). Factorial analysis of the correspondences was also performed in order to reveal the similarities between the different tribes. In total, 77 plant species (36 families and 67 genera) were cited as consumed by humans. The most used parts are the fruits (65.38%), and leaves (24.36%). Analysis of the similarities shows that only 18.82% of these species are common to the four tribes. In addition, knowledge related to wild edible plants is gradually degrading, for several reasons, including obsolescence of use and the unavailability of plants due to environmental degradation. Thus, the valuation and protection of these resources would be beneficial to populations.

The floristic condition of the agroforestry systems established on coffee trees in Daloa, in the Central-West of the Côte d'Ivoire has been carried out. Surface surveys and itinerant surveys identified 123 species, 93 genera and 37 families. Euphorbiaceae and Moraceae are the most represented families. The study made it possible to count 52.03% of the species of the Guinean-Congolese region, 27.65% of the transition species (GC-SZ), 11.3% of the indeterminate species, 5.69% of the endemic species West African and 2.44% of the GCI block species. The degree of infestation of plant species evaluated shows that the values vary from 8.33% at Alchornea cordifolia to 79.17% in Spondias mombin. The results also indicated a significant difference between the degrees of infestation of plant species according to the DBH, the age of the coffee plantations. The rate of infestation of plant species is 33.35±9.84% and the intensity of infestation is 2.83±0.60 tufts/plant. The analysis of the degree of infestation among others of Albizia zygia, Cecropia peltata, Cola nitida, Persea americana, and Spondias mombin has made it possible to identify major problems of Loranthaceae infestation sources posed by the presence of these species in coffee plantations.
