This database was elaborated as part of the North Africa Biodiversity Project, funded by the Swiss Cooperation. Several experts from the region took part in drafting it by preparing a monograph on each species with information on the plant’s morphology, biology and ecology and including information on how that plant is used in North Africa.
Although it contains information on traditional therapeutic uses of the plants, the database is not
a medical tool and the data it contains should only be seen as of botanical, ecological and cultural value.
The experts who helped draft it are specialists in botany, biology, ecology and conservation and do not
pretend to any medical expertise.
