Resources of Medicinal Plant in Macao

摘要:

药用植物对人类健康起着至关重要的作用。以澳门为例，通过野外实地调查和查阅文献，统计到澳门药用植物共152科506属725种，占澳门维管束植物总种数的40.08%。其中菊科、大戟科、蝶形花科所含种类数量位列前三；乔木类、灌木类、草本类、藤本类种数占比分别为25%、18%、47%、10%；药用部位以全草或者全株、根、叶为主。针对目前澳门药用植物应用的主要问题提出了相应建议：加强乡土药用植物资源基础研究，充分挖掘其保健康养作用，增加其在绿色公共空间中的种类与数量。

Abstract:

Medicinal plants play an important role in human health.Through field research and literature review, 725 species belonging to 152 families and 506 genera of medicinal plants were recorded in Macao, accounting for 40.08% of the total vascular plant species in Macao. Among them, the number of species in Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae, and Papilionaceae ranked the top three, and the number of species of trees, shrubs, herbs and vines accounted for 25%, 18%, 47% and 10%, respectively. In addition, whole grasses or whole plants, roots and leaves were the main medicinal parts. Some suggestions on the main problems of the medicinal plant application in Macao are put forward: strengthening the basic research of native medicinal plants resources, giving full play to their health and medicinal effects,and enriching their species and quantities in public green spaces.
