  1. GC Good concordance, MC medium concordance, LC low concordance, FK fisher’s knowledge, BR badly recognized. Local importance (based on local observations and literature: [27, 44]: low = not sold, seldom consumed, considered as mistura (trash); medium: not sold, consumed OR sold, not commonly consumed ; high: sold and consumed. Medicinal, but considered as mistura (trash). “DNK” does not know
