Estudio etnobotánico de la flora en el barrio San Francisco de Uliví, laderas Romerillo, Chingilalo y Pucara de la parroquia Panzaleo, cantón Salcedo, provincia de Cotopaxi

The present research was carried out due to the loss of ancestral knowledge associated with the use of plants, and with this the disappearance of the tourist and cultural potential. For this reason, the ethnobotanical study of flora was developed in the San Francisco de Ulivi neighborhood, in the canton of Salcedo. The methodology applied was field research, where it began with the selection of key actors, registration of cultural processes, selection, collection and identification of plants. As a result, the selection of key actors and the implementation of the interview were obtained. For the inventory we worked with the files of the INPC, of the four area called knowledge and uses related to nature and the universe, as a result thirty-nine cultural processes were obtained. Finally, in the inventory of botanical species, fifty-five plants that are part of the cultural processes were identified. With the results obtained proceeded to interpret the sensitivity to change, with ninety percent is in a "high" state since the new generations are not interested in appropriating the knowledge of their grandparents and parents, ten percent is in "medium" and low is with zero percent, on the other hand, in type of management it was obtained that eighty percent is in the wild and twenty percent is cultivated. In the conservation status of the species, four percent is in least concern, that is two plants have been studied. On the other hand ninety-six percent represents the unevaluated, with a total of fifty-three. Finally, the information obtained was systemtized in an ethnobotanical guide where the ancestral knowledge and the taxonomy of the plants were reflected. It is concluded that the San Francisco de Uliví neighborhood keeps knowledge and great botanical variety of ancestral uses. It is recommended to carry out more research projects where the main stakeholders are the inhabitants of the place
