ETHNOBOTANY
Ethnobotany is a branch of ethnobiology, and is also known as economic botany (with economics understood in a broad sense of the word). The subject centres on botany and overlaps with archaeology, anthropology, ecology, geography, geology, history, and zoology. Ethnobotany can be very broadly defined as the study of plant and human interactions.
