A majomkenyérfától az ördögbordáig. A gyimesközéploki általános iskolások jelenkori növényismerete
From the Baobab to the Fern. Primary Schoolchildren's Knowledge about Plants in Gyimesközéplok (Lunca de Jos)

Summary/Abstract: The current paper is based on a research carried out at the Majláth Gusztáv Károly Elementary School in Lunca de Jos, Harghita County, Romania, between 2017-2018. The research highlights the students’ changing knowledge on plants and herbs and the sources of this knowledge. At the same time the analysis focuses on the parents’ knowledge on the local flora as well and also reflects on knowledge transfer between the children/youth and the middle aged from the village. Based on the collected data, the paper also contains an ethnobotanical presentation of a culturally determined keystone species, the European spruce (Picea abies).
