    Area of Science:

    • Botany
    • Ethnobotany
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Colombian flora has been extensively studied botanically since the 18th century.
    • Plants are widely used in traditional Colombian medicine.
    • Despite extensive use, scientific investigation into the properties of these medicinal plants is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the need for further research into the medicinal properties of Colombian plants.
    • To underscore the importance of the National Herbarium in Bogotá as a resource for botanical research.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on botanical studies in Colombia.
    • Analysis of the current state of research on medicinal plants in Colombia.
    • Highlighting the role of the National Herbarium of Bogotá.

    Main Results:

    • Botanical documentation of Colombian flora is comprehensive.
    • There is a significant gap in research on the properties of plants used in traditional medicine.
    • The National Herbarium of Bogotá houses a substantial collection of 180,000 specimens from 10,000 species.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a critical need to initiate research into the pharmacological properties of Colombian medicinal plants.
    • The National Herbarium of Bogotá is a valuable resource for advancing ethnobotanical and pharmacological research in Colombia.
