Abstract
This study was developed by the Agro-Forestry Experimental Station in Guisa, Granma, to determine, by means of an ethno-botanical study, the uses of the accompanying woody flora in Germplasm Bank Cedrela odorata L. and the community El Congrí, located at 3 ½ km from the central town of the municipality, along the road of Pueblo Nuevo town, belonging to the People´s Council EL Bombón. The study included several semi structured interviews to the community inhabitants and visits to the area, which allowed to list 40 species, belonging to 36 genres, distributed in 22 botanic families. As results, out of the 40 species, 36 species were categorized as medicinal, five are ornamental, 13 are melliferous, and five are used in rituals. This study contributes to the community environmental education, providing data of the medicinal species related with the parts used, what are they used for and the ways they are employed.
