Abstract

This paper provides a brief account of 31 plants associated with herbal remedies among the Hayas, a tribe of Kagera region, Tanzania. Reports from informants were obtained during field studies in June 1987. For each species are given the botanical name, vernacular name, collection number, locality, habit, dis-tribution and medical uses. The data are compared with information from literature for medical uses, and listed isolated constituents and pharmacological effects. The Hayas have had a rich herbal folklore, but this is fading due to increasing acculturation and depletion of plant cover.

Pour chaque espèce se présent nom de botanique, nom de vernaculaire, nombre de rassemblement, localité, I’habitude, reépartition et medicales usage. Les données sont comparée avec les informations obtenuées de littéraire pour medicales usage et rapport sur isolé constituants et les effets de pharmacologie. Les Hayas a eu une riche folklore herbal, mais ce disparaitre de plus en plus de acculturation et du epuisement de converture des plantes.
