title: Traditional phytotherapy in the Roccamonfina volcanic group, Campania, southern Italy.
abstract: An investigation of the medicinal plants used in the Roccamonfina volcanic group is reported. The phytotherapy appears to be still utilized consistently; approx. 70 entities distributed among 39 different families are used. The chemical components and pharmacological behaviour of most of the species are very well known, however, an accurate phytochemical and pharmacological study seems necessary for some of them.
