Abstract

In an extensive ethnobotanical survey (130 informants) of the medicinal plants of Israel, 16 species were found to be used for hypoglycaemic treatments. The list includes Achillea fragrantissima (Forssk.) Sch.-Bip, Ammi visnaga^* (L.) Lam, Atriplex halimus L., Capparis spinosa L., Ceratonia siliqua L., Cleome droserifolia (Forssk.) Del., Eryngium creticum^* Lam., Inula viscosa^* (L.) Ait., Matricaria aurea^* (Loefl.) Sch.-Bip, Origanum syriaca^* L., Paronychia argentea Lam, Prosopis farcta^* (Banks et Sol.) Macbride, Salvia fruticosa^* Mill., Sarcopoterium spinosum (L.) Sp., and Teucrium polium^* L.; eight of them (marked with an asterisk) are first recorded here as used for this purpose.
