ABSTRACT
Mountains greatly affect the climate of an area because of differences in altitude, latitude, topography and continental position which provide special ecogeographic habitats to diverse plant species having different systematic and pharmacological attributes. The present investigation aimed to explore the ethnomedicinal formulations used by the native hill people living on the Murree and Kotli Sattian situated 50 Km away from the capital Islamabad. An ethnobotanical survey led to the collection of 21 plant families and 34 species distributed among 30 genera. Fabaceae (12%), Plantaginaceae (12%), Rosaceae (9%) and Apocynaceae (9%) were the most common families, accounting for 42% of the reported medicinal plant species of the area. During this investigation, 63% of the collected plant species were used only in ethnopharmacological formulations. The use of extracts (57%) and oral (60%) administration of the drugs prepared from different parts of the plants, especially leaves (23%), were the most common. 526 URs (use reports) were collected and diseases were assorted into 25 major categories. In general, 21 URs were collected against each disease category and 15 URs against each reported plant species. Digestive disorders, respiratory ailments, skin issues along with joint and muscular pains were found prevailing among the hill people, which shows a direct relationship with the climate of the area. The results of this study show that the hills of the Murree and Kotli Sattian are endowed with a high biodiversity and occupants of the hills use a large array of plants to treat their diseases.

摘要
高山由于高度,纬度,地形和大陆位置的差异而极大地影响了该地区的气候,从而为具有不同系统和药理属性的多种植物物种提供了特殊的生态地理栖息地。本次调查旨在探讨居住在距首都伊斯兰堡50公里的Murree和Kotli Sattian上的土著山地居民所使用的人种学方法。一项民族植物学调查收集了21个植物科和34个物种,分布在30个属中。Fabaceae(12%),Plantaginaceae(12%),Rosaceae(9%)和Apocynaceae(9%)是最常见的科,占该地区报道的药用植物物种的42%。在这项调查中,收集到的植物物种的63%仅用于民族药理制剂。最常见的是使用提取物(57%)和口服(60%)施用从植物不同部位制备的药物,尤其是叶子(23%)。收集了526个UR(使用报告),并将疾病分为25个主要类别。通常,针对每种疾病类别收集了21种UR,针对每种报告的植物物种收集了15种UR。山区人群中普遍存在消化系统疾病,呼吸系统疾病,皮肤问题以及关节和肌肉疼痛,这与该地区的气候直接相关。这项研究的结果表明,穆里(Murree)和科特利·萨特(Kotli Sattian)的山丘拥有丰富的生物多样性,山丘上的居民使用各种各样的植物来治疗其疾病。
