ABSTRACT
The nomadic behavior of Roma people has allowed their cultural interaction with people from different continents. Brazil has received Roma immigrants since its colonization, and there are currently more than 800,000 Roma people among the Brazilian population. This article describes the ethnobotanical knowledge of two Calon families (Alves a nd Dantas) esta blished in hinterland cities of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil. The survey was conducted with 23 informants (≥ 40 years old, 85% of the target audience) selected through the snowball technique and using semi - structured interviews. The plants mentioned wer e collected, identified and deposited in the IPA and UFP herbaria. The 157 species (85 native) are used for food, condiment, cosmetic, medicinal, ritualistic, technological, veterinary, and other purposes. The useful flora and forms of use are similar to t hose reported by non - Roma communities living in the same region, showing a kind of mimicry adopted by the Roma people, yet maintaining their cultural identity.
RESUMEN
El comportamiento nómada de los gitanos ha permitido su interacción cultural con personas de diferentes continentes. Brasil ha recibido inmigrantes romaníes desde su colonización y actualmente hay más de 800.000 romaníes entre la población brasileñ a. Este artículo describe el conocimiento etnobotá nico de dos familias Calon (Alves y Dantas) establecidas en ciudades del interior de Pernambuco, noreste de Brasil. La encuesta se realizó con 23 informantes (≥ 40 años, 85% del público objetivo) seleccionados mediante la técnica de bola de nieve y mediant e entrevistas semiestructuradas. Las plantas mencionadas fueron recolectadas, identificadas y depositadas en los herbarios IPA y UFP. Las 157 especies (85 nativas) se utilizan para alimentos, condimentos, cosméticos, medicinales, ritualistas, tecnológicos, veterinarios y otros fines. La flora útil y las formas de uso son similares a las reportadas por las comunidades no gitanas que viven en la misma región, mostrando una especie de mimetismo adoptado por el pueblo gitano, pero manteniendo su identidad cultu ral.
