Abstract
    The province of Surigao del Sur in Southern Mindanao island, Philippines, has a vast flora of medicinal and a good number of endemic plants. This study assessed the anecdotal therapeutic uses of plants in this province. Sixty-six plants were randomly collected from a mountain range occupying three municipalities. Ten informants were surveyed about the self-care uses of these plants which include ten endemic species and are mostly represented by the family Rubiaceae. Species richness and diversity indices are highly correlated. Vitex negundo gave the highest informant consensus factor and fidelity level. Datura metel, Vitex negundo and Mimosa pudica gave the 3 highest use values. Decoctions are the most commonly used dosage forms. This study documented the ethnomedicinal uses of plants in Surigao del Sur.
