Fleurentin J, Pelt JM.

The traditional uses of plants for medicine were studied in the Yemen Arab Republic. To date, 130 medicinal plants have been identified and are presented in a table with the vernacular name, the geographical and ecological distribution, the medicinal use in Yemen and the pharmacological properties. Such a study of traditional medicine demonstrates the close relation between the medicinal plants and pathology.
