Abstract: Present study was done to investigate the ethnobotanical knowledge in south Kerman which contains 7 cities. Data were collected from 129 herbal healer using semi-structured questionnaires and open interviews. Information including local name, scientific name, ailments treated, part used, mode of preparation, and life form were recorded. A total of 251 plant species belonging to 63 families were identified and recorded as the medicinal herbs. Identification of the 103 plant species as the medicinal herb for the first time in this region was the highlighted result of thisg; study. Gastrointestinal, skin, general and unspecified, and respiratory diseases, respectively ranked as the most utilized ailments category for medicinal plants in this region. Asteraceae, Apiaceae, and Lamiaceae, respectively were the top medicinal plants families. Also, Ferula, Artemisia and Nepeta were the mostly used plant genera.
