文摘

In the last three decades, several vernacular names of medicinal plants related to manufactured drugs names have been recognized in ethnobotanical surveys throughout Brazil. The medicalization may be the primarily responsible process for the rise of that type of vernacular names of Brazilian medicinal plants differentially for each geopolitical region of Brazil. We attempt to trace the regionalization of medicalization on vernacular names of medicinal plants through ethnobotanical studies carried out in Brazil since the 1980s. Articles were consulted in nine journals published between 1980 and 2014. Richness estimation by Jackknife 1 and correspondence analysis by contingency tables were performed, both by the occurrence of medicalized names collected in the surveys for each region. The South region presented the highest number of reported and estimated medicalized names, in addition to present the highest number of medicalized names in exclusive occurrence. Northeast and Southeast regions presented a great similarity of medicalized names probably due to the migration flows occurring in both regions over the twentieth century.
