Topic

The course includes 6x2 lectures and 3x4 practice (field work). The aim of the course is to practice the correct identification of medicinal plants, knowledge of main morphological characters, habitat, collection place, and therapeutical use. The course gives a general overview on the most frequent medicinal plants, protected and produced species, as well as various vegetation types in the Mecsek mountain and its environment. In addition, the effect and relationship between abiotic factors and secondary metabolites of plants are also discussed, which can provide recommendations for collection place and habitat of plants.
