Abstract
Mentha (Mint) is a genus of flowering plants in the Labiatae (Lamiaceae) family. Mints are aromatic, almost exclusively perennial, and rarely annual. Mint and its medicinal uses have been cited in many traditional manuscripts and since Mentha species have different medical properties and recognition of these species considering the characteristics mentioned in traditional manuscripts is difficult, we decided to elaborate the corresponding names in traditional medicine and characteristics of 4 native and one hybrid common species of Mentha in Iran including M. spicata, M. longifolia, M. pulegium, M. aquatica and M. × piperita. The results of this work help the traditional medicine researchers to recognize themedicinal properties specified in traditional manuscripts for each Mentha species.

Abstract
“Esparzeh”, is a genus from the Plantaginaceae family, which has been identified in traditional Iranian medicine as a plant with different seed colors including white, red and, black, and different names like “Esfarzeh”, “Aspghul”, “Asphiush”, “Ghatouna” and “Bangou”. In this paper, we attempted to determine the suitable scientific name(s) for Esparzeh according to its characteristics described in traditional manuscripts. Results showed that characteristics mentioned in traditional manuscripts for Esparzeh match with two endemic and prevalent species of Plantago in Iran, P. ovata Forssk. and P. psyllium L., and can be individualized by the suggested names, “Esparzeh” for P. ovata Forssk. and “Esparzeh barhangi” for P. psyllium L..

Abstract
Ethnobotany is a method of scientific monitoring of the information available in public beliefs. The science deals with application of plants in the daily life of an ethnic group. A major part of the information used in ethnobotanical studies is related to the data obtained from the natural course of life of an ethnic group and their viewpoints toward plants. The data is generally in mind and language of the people, and has an oral structure. In this regard, prior to performing any ethnobotanical study, the gap between the oral information in people’s life and data scientifically selected in the research methodology should be addressed. This gap would also bring about the question whether an ethnobotanical study and its findings are scientific or not. In the current study, we have provided some answers to the principles of beginning an ethnobotanical study and emphasis on considering these studies as the foundation of further studies.
