RESUMO
Reportamos por primera vez la presencia de Epidendrum suinii Hágsater & Dodson (Orchidaceae, Epidendroideae) para Perú basada en colectas de la región San Martín (parte septentrional oriental del territorio peruano). Incluimos una clave que permite diferenciar las especies de Epidendrum del grupo Cuchibambae que habitan en Perú.
We report for the first time the presence of Epidendrum suinii Hágsater & Dodson (Orchidaceae, Epidendroideae)for Peru based on collections from the region of San Martin (northern eastern part of the Peruvian territory). We include a key to recognize the species of Epidendrum of Cuchibambae group that grow in Perú.
RESUMO
A study about the useful species of the genus Passiflora (Passifloraceae) found in a mountains province of Angaraes (Huancavelica, PeruÌ) is presented. The methodology used was based on guided visits and semi-structured interviews to 50 informants who lived in the province of Angaraes. Seven species grouped in five categories of use were reported. Categories with a higher quantity of reported usage were food for humans (95 reports) and medicine (65 reports). The category with greater diversity of species was fodder (6 species). The part of the plant used most often was the fruit (80%). Two species were described as cultivated and five have been recorded as in wildlife state. The species with greater cultural importance were P. tripartita var. mollissima and P. pinnatistipula, since their fruits are much appreciated by the locals and commercialized in province fairs, demonstrating that the cultivation of these plant resources is the main livelihood in the region. Finally, a key is included in order to allow the identification of each of the species of Passiflora which inhabit in the study area.
Se presenta un estudio sobre las especies uÌtiles del geÌnero Passiflora (Passifloraceae) de una provincia andina de Angaraes (Huancavelica, PeruÌ). La metodologiÌa utilizada se basoÌ en visitas guiadas y entrevistas semiestructuradas a 50 informantes de la provincia de Angaraes. Se reportaron siete especies agrupadas en cinco categoriÌas de uso. Las categoriÌas con mayores reportes de uso fueron alimento para humanos (95 reportes) y medicinal (65 reportes). La categoriÌa con mayor riqueza de especies es alimento para animales (seis especies). La parte utilizada con mayor frecuencia es el fruto (80%). Dos especies fueron descritas como cultivadas y cinco han sido registradas en estado silvestre. Las especies con mayor importancia cultural fueron P. tripartita var. mollissima y P. pinnatistipula, siendo sus frutos muy apreciados y comercializados en las ferias de la provincia, lo cual demuestra que los pobladores dependen de sus recursos vegetales para su subsistencia. Finalmente, se incluye una clave que permite diferenciar las especies de Passiflora que habitan en la zona de estudio.

Se presenta un estudio etnobotaÌnico sobre las Leguminosas (Fabaceae) silvestres de uso medicinal de una regioÌn altoandina del PeruÌ (distrito de Lircay, provincia de Angaraes, departamento de Huancavelica). La metodologiÌa se basoÌ en entrevistas semiestructuradas a 33 informantes clave, calculando el iÌndice de Importancia Cultural. Se registran 12 geÌneros con 17 especies. Todas las plantas poseen por lo menos un nombre vernaÌculo y tienen usos adicionales a la categoriÌa medicinal. Dos especies son comercializadas en Lircay: Desmodium molliculum y Otholobium pubescens. Se reportan nueve categoriÌas de uso, siendo la categoriÌa medicinal la que presentoÌ mayor nuÌmero de especies (17 especies) y la que tuvo maÌs reportes de uso (125 reportes). La Leguminosa con mayor Importancia Cultural es Senna versicolor, lo que demuestra que es la especie maÌs arraigada al conocimiento tradicional de los pobladores locales.
What follows is an ethnobotanical study of wild medicinal Legumes from a high Andean region of Peru (district of Lircay, province of Angaraes, department of Huancavelica). The methodology was based on 33 semi-structured interviews with key informants, and the Cultural Importance Index was calculated. A total of 12 genera with 17 species were recorded. All of the plants possessed at least one vernacular name and in addition to their medicinal function had other uses. Two species are traded in the Lircay: Desmodium molliculum and Otholobium pubescens. Nine categories of use were reported, with the medicinal category registering the highest number of species (17 species) and the greatest number of reported uses (125 reports). The legume of greatest cultural importance is Senna versicolor, which was shown to be the most deeply-rooted plant in the traditional knowledge of the local.
