Abstract
One-hundred four plant species used medicinally by herbalists from three southern Ugandan tribes were collected
and identified. The collection includes a large portion of the materia medica of the Abayanda of the southwest region,
as well as species used by herbalists of the Baganda and Bakiga Tribes. Literature searches were performed in
preparation for further collections, and for collaborative laboratory validation of in vitro antimicrobial activity.
Literature data provide support for ethnomedical claims for a number of species used in Uganda for disease
treatment.
