Two species are traded in the Lircay: Desmodium molliculum and Otholobium pubescens. Nine categories of use were reported;with the medicinal category registering the highest number of species (17 species) and the greatest number of reported uses (125 reports). The legume of greatest cultural importance is Senna versicolor;which was shown to be the most deeply-rooted plant in the traditional knowledge of the local.
