Additionally, there was a moderate positive relationship (p<0.05, Rho=0.447) between knowledge of medicinal plants and ethnopharmacological use for common diseases. Furthermore, a moderate positive relationship (p<0.05, Rho=0.591) was found between the identification of medicinal properties and the ethnopharmacological use of medicinal plants, and a strong positive relationship (p<0.05, Rho=0.719) was observed between the transmission of ancestral knowledge and the ethnopharmacological use of medicinal plants for common diseases.
