Background & Aim: Since traditional knowledge is base of producing new herbals and other natural products, and old people of ancient cities know about characteristics of such herbals, therefore, death of such people will gradually causes demolishing of their knowledge about herbals. Therefore, it seems it is necessary to register and save such information. The goal of this research is to study and survey about ethnobotany of herbals among people live in Sirjan city in order to learn about way of using these herbals in this area through traditions and customs.Martial & Methods: In this research, at first, the mentioned area divided into different parts by means of geographical maps and then a questionnaire prepared to collect the natives' information about using which parts of herbals in what cases and how to use them. After that, herbals grown in different areas were moved to pharmacy department of Kerman when collected, dried and their herbarium made.Results & Discussion: Finally, 77 species of herbals collected from different areas of Sirjan and registered after identification of each species and their related information (using cases, how and which parts). Due to different cultures of using herbals between natives of Sirjan and other areas of the country and different ways of using various herbals and existence of special herbals in this area, remarkable results about native knowledge of natives using herbals in this area obtained.Conclusion: Considering high potential of herbals in Sirjan, the results of present research and other scientific surveys in this field can provide conditions for better application of herbals in order to prepare products of higher effects and lower harms.
