Results of ethnobotanical investigations carried out in the plain botanical-geographical regions of Azerbaijan (Kurdamir, Agdash, Goychay, Ujar, Hajigabul) have been shown in the paper. 120 associations are registered, which are the taxon's belonging to 46th families, which are concentrated in 4 plant types (semi-desert, water-wetland-oasis, forest, alluvial-meadow) in the area flora. Poaceae by 21 species is superior to other families and 14 of them are using for their useful properties. Local herbs are used by local communities to treat diarrhea, ear pain, warmth, jaundice, flu, cough, and skin diseases. In addition, snake bites, healing of various wounds in the body, and burns are healed by domestic herbs. The area flora along with medicinal plants also is used for food, feed, fuel and technical purposes. Arid forests are rapidly spreading in the area. However, efforts and knowledge of keeping the plant are on the first stage. Megalopherophytes and terophytes are more in the area. Hemicryptophyte, nanophanerophyte and geophytes plants come in after them. All types of greenery in arid and longevity forests of the area flora are dependent on the participation of trees. This research can be a cause of progress in the field of plant phytochemistry, molecular biochemistry and microbial biology in study of the second metabolites of plants. Ethnobotanical work is very important for these scientific studies, because a great age-old experience comes to light.

Relict trees are survivors of the vast forests that 20 million years ago covered much of Eurasia. Countries and regions known for their relict trees, such as the islands of Crete or Sicily, often have just a dozen or so of the venerable species. Azerbaijan, though, is remarkable as it is home to a whole forest of relict trees. Botanists Emanuel Gerber, Gregor Kozlowski and Evelyne Kozlowski share with Visions' readers their passion for these magnificent reminders of a bygone world and explain why Azerbaijan's relict trees are so important.

Medicinal plants are now becoming more widely used by people all over the world. On the other hand, the trees, especially in the Iranian platform, have not comprehensibly been reviewed in the literature. In this study, the authors have reviewed all important historical and modern literature about the medicinal trees and shrub used in Iranian traditional medicine. We compare the modern and traditional documented herbal medicine of our country and edited them as follow. All data about the terminology (if necessary some etymological information have been provided), local and native names, comparison the modern and traditional terminology and postulations about the plants, description about the medicinal parts of the plant, and finally the proposed medicinal and pharmacological activities of the trees have been presented. The detailed references have been provided for each data. The data were collected and represented as 57 species of trees and shrubs which are reported as spontaneous i...

The article provides information about wild pears spread in the Republic of Azerbaijan. It has been revealed that currently 21 species of wild pears belonging to the Pyrus L. genus are known in the flora of Azerbaijan. 17 species of them have been spread in the area of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. Pyrus zangеzura Malееv., P. vоrоnоvii Rubtz., P. gеоrgica Kuth., P. demetrii Kuth., P. fedorovii Kuth., P. psuеdоsyriaca Gladkоva., P. chosrovica Gladkova., P. mеgrica Gladkоva, P.caucasica var. schuntukеnsis Tuz., P. salicifolia var. angustifolia Kuth., P. salicifolia var. latifolia Alexenko species have been given firstly for the flora of Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. As a result of climate change and anthropogenic factors in recent years in the Autonomous Republic considering the wild pears of Pyrus boissieriana Buhse (CR A2 abc; C1), P. eldarica Grossh.

The aim of this study was historically and pharmacologically reviewing almost all the known medicinal trees mentioned in classical texts of Persian traditional herbal medicine, which are not present or do no longer grow in Iran today. We have reviewed all important historical and modern literature about the medicinal trees and shrub used in Iranian traditional medicine. Then we selected the major references and collected the data. All plants, which were mentioned in classical texts of Iranian traditional herbal medicine, but do not occur or no longer grow in Iran at present. We compared the modern and traditional documented herbal medicine of our country and edited them as follow. All data about the terminology (if necessary some etymological information have been provided), local and native names, comparison the modern and traditional terminology and postulations about the plants, description about the medicinal parts of the plant, and finally the proposed medicinal and pharmacological activities of the trees have been presented. The collected data were represented as twenty-three species of trees and shrubs which were mentioned in classical texts of Iranian traditional herbal medicine, but are not reported as spontaneous in Iran at present. It is interesting that almost all of these plants have been described in the classical texts of Iranian herbal medicine. These data show that Persian scholars knew these trees in the earlier times. We may suppose the following probabilities for this controversy. The Persian scholars may were aware of these plants from Arabic, Indic or Greek-Roman tradition without seeing them closely. But it is known that the usage of the plants was common among Iranian herbalists and scholars in the past centuries. We propose more researches about these plants and the exact cause of their earlier presence and accessibility to the Persians in the history and the lack of their presence today in Iran.

The herbal medicines all over its history have been firmly considered herbs and weeds used as medicines. Although the trees and shrubs have been deep effects on phytomedicine, but according to our best knowledge, there have been no comprehensive studies about the influence of the trees and the shrubs and its extent in the traditional medicine. In this study we have studied these plants in the Iranian herbal medicine from an interesting view, at least for us, that some of these plants which have been described in the ancient documents, are considered as not spontaneous in Iran. The authors have reviewed all important historical and modern literature about 26 medicinal trees and shrubs introduced and cultivated in Iran and also used in Iranian traditional medicine. This means these plants are not spontaneous in Iranian platform. It is interesting that almost all of these plants have been described in the classical texts of Iranian herbal medicine. Some traditional herbalists described...

Background: The Flora of Central Asia is extremely rich, with about 9800 species of vascular plants. Uzbekistan, with over 4500 species, has a central position in the region, and is regarded as one of the main centers of medicinal plants diversity, in particular because of its high percentage of local endemism. About 600 species of medicinal plants have been documented in Uzbekistan for the treatment of numerous diseases, many of them endemic. These plants are still used for the medicinal traits in industrial scale as well as by local tabibs (local practitioner).
