Local botanical knowledge in firewood stores of La Plata district, Buenos Aires (Argentina). The present study was carried out in La Plata district, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. This is a diverse area displaying urban and periurban zones, which show abundant public areas planted with trees, spontaneous vegetation in periurban aereas, while in the surroundings of La Plata district there are riparian forests and bushes, Celtis ehrenbergiana forest (called talares), and implanted forest. In the framework of an investigation of urban ethnobotany, thirteen firewood sale sites (called leñeras) were registered and the sellers were interviewed with the objective of recording their botanical knowledge about the commercialized species, those considered more suitable, origin, way of obtaining, way of recognition and classification. A total of 32 ethnotaxa were commercialized as firewood, being the most frequently sold “quebracho colorado”, “itín”, and “eucalipto”. The main destination for firewood is for heating homes and secondly for cooking. The extensive knowledge that the interviewees have about the subject is highlighted, also the diversity of surveyed practices involved in the use of firewood, the supply strategies, and the high variety of species used. El presente estudio se llevó a cabo en el partido de La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. El área es diversa, con zonas urbanas y periurbanas, abundante arbolado urbano, vegetación espontánea en zonas periurbanas, mientras que en los alrededores del partido se encuentran bosques y matorrales ribereños, talares y bosques implantados. En el marco de una investigación de etnobotánica urbana, se registraron 13 sitios de venta de leña (“leñeras”) y se realizaron entrevistas a los expendedores con el objetivo de relevar el conocimiento botánico local sobre las especies comercializadas, las consideradas más adecuadas, procedencia, forma de obtención, modo de reconocimiento y clasificación. Se halló un total de 32 etnotaxa comercializados como leña, entre los cuales los más vendidos son: “quebracho colorado”, “itín” y “eucalipto”. El principal destino de la leña es para la calefacción de hogares y, en segundo lugar, para la cocción de los alimentos. Se destaca el amplio conocimiento que posen los entrevistados acerca del tema, así como también la diversidad de prácticas relevadas en torno al uso de la leña, las estrategias de aprovisionamiento y la elevada variedad de especies utilizadas.
