claimThe high number of wild edible plants from the families Malvaceae, Fabaceae, and Rhamnaceae in the Mieso District is likely due to the better adaptation potential of these families across wider ranges of altitudes.
measurementAmong the wild edible plants documented in the Mieso District, the family Malvaceae is the best-represented with 6 species, followed by Fabaceae and Rhamnaceae (4 species each), Myricaceae (3 species), six families (Apocynaceae, Boraginaceae, Cactaceae, Primulaceae, Rubiaceae, Salicaceae) with 2 species each, and ten families with 1 species each.
