Description | This article documents the vascular flora of Kalau island, located in the Bernardo O’Higgins National Park, protected area within the Kawésqar ancestral territory. This is a first approach to the available ethnobotanical use by the Kawésqar people of vascular plants from Kalau Island. 80 vascular plants are registered; 79 of them are native (99%), with 29 being endemics for Chile and Argentina. Main uses are: 43% food; 30% building material for huts, canoes, ropes, and containers; 21% fuel; and 13% medicinal. Drymis winteri is the plant species with more registered uses. The most common medicinal use cited is wound healing. |
