%X The ethnobotanic database PHARMEL on African medicinal plants. This data bank was created in 1986 with the help of the "Agence de Coopération Culturelle et Technique" (ACCT), an international Agency covering 40 french speaking countries and working for the development of cultural and technical relationships between them. PHARMEL (PHAR for pharmacopea, ME for medicinal plant and L for traditional) has the two main following aims : to gather together the data concerning the uses of medicinal plants in folk Medicine (mainly in Africa) and synthesis this information ; to promote a network with local or national databanks having facilities to exchange their data between them and so increase the total volume of treated and thus available data. In order to standardize the collection and capture of the complex data included in the traditional prescriptions, a booklet was published in 1989 by the ACCT with all the codification concerning the characteristics of used plants, the different methods of drug preparation and administration and finally therapeutic indications (disease type or physiological effects). Furthermore, a user friendly software for data capture has been developed. Now, PHARMEL contains the data issued from the traditional prescriptions. This is included in books or papers published by ACCT and other authors concerning ethnobotanical knowledge of the 21 following countries : Benin, Central Africa Rep., Comores, Congo, Gabon, Mali, Maurice, Niger, Seychelles, Togo, Canaries Islands, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Burundi, Rwanda, Zaïre, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Madagascar and Dominique.
