description Ethnobotany includes the study of the relationships between people and the surrounding vegetation. Knowledge about plants is transmitted in the community primarily among the family; where cultural background is shared in common activities and imitative processes that begin at an early age. In this paper we make an initial contribution with information about the importance of cultural knowledge that children share about plants in the aboriginal community of Quilmes (Comunidad India de Quilmes, CIQ), located in the Province of Tucumán, Rep. Argentina. The general objective pretends to estimate what kind of knowledge children have about medicinal plants used on a daily basis. From an ethnobotanical perspective, we want to know which place the knowledge of medicinal plants occupies in the children´s “worldview”. As a first instance, we consider that children acquire in their homes a valuable reservoir of traditional knowledge. We also compare the information obtained from school children from different public school sectors in CIQ territory. Four schools located along the national route Nº 40 (RN40) were selected as sample. We observed that there is a gradient in the knowledge of medicinal plants, which was higher among children in the most remote schools in the RN 40 and lower in children from schools that are more in touch with that route.
