This study was conducted to analyze and record traditional knowledge of medicinal plants utilized in the five-day traditional market of Gurye. Ethnobotanical data were collected through interviews, informal meetings, and observations using semi-structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed through informant consensus factor (ICF), fidelity level (FL), use value (UV), and network analysis. The 240 ethnomedicinal practices recorded from the five-day traditional market of Gurye for treating 69 ailments were classified into 49 families, 89 genera, and 95 species. The representative families were Rosaceae (10.00%), followed by Moraceae (7.78%) and Araliaceae (6.67%). On the whole, 14 kinds of plant-parts were used and prepared in 19 various ways by the herbalists. The highest values of the informants consensus factor (ICF) were diabetes (0.53), and the lowest values were birth related disorders, veterinary ailments, and cuts and wounds (each 0.00). This study determined 38 species of plants with an FL of 100%. According to use value (UV) the most plants were Cudrania tricuspidata (Carriere) Bureau ex Lavallee (0.88), Cynanchum wilfordii (Maxim.) Hemsl. and Kalopanax septemlobus (Thunb.) Koidz. (each 0.59), and Kerria japonica (L.) DC. (0.53). Finally, using network analysis, Cynanchum wilfordii (Maxim.) Hemsl. was defined as meaningful medicinal plants, while arthritis was defined as significant ailments. The results of this study will be used as basic data for efficient management and conservation of plant resources and the vitalization of the local communities.
