Abstract:
Indigenous knowledge, as part of special culture of each region, is experimental findings raised out of adapting to special environmental attributes that is gradually changed to part of social culture of that society. Ethnobatany is nearest methods for studying people knowledge about various practices of their used plants. This study is a part of comprehensive research in field of indigenous knowledge which has been done in Tayebi tribe of Deli kama region (a mountainous valley of summers of Dehdasht town) in Kohkiloyeh and Boyerahmad Province. As a qualitative research in ethnobotany, it used qualitative techniques of gathering data through in depth interview and participatory observation. Totally 189 species has been identified out of which 68 species are with nonforage uses. Thymus, Kakoti, oak were indicator plants of the region. Plants have been used as medicine, food, tools, building industry, extracting industrial oil and juice. Local people have sufficient knowledge about growth time, harvest season, picking method, drying, providing tools out of, extracting juice out of and different medicinal uses. Unfortunately majority of this knowledge is disappearing along with disappearance of traditions. Ethnobotanical researchers can play an important role in documenting and preserving in order to rescue this undocumented enrich folklore before fading in current modernization race.
