Description of sampling:
Relevant literature was compiled through a literature search in the web of knowledge database via the “topic” search feature including all databases available in the portal using a designated search string. Delimitation of relevance was done by screening of title and abstract by two independent reviewers. Relevant information was extracted from the generated literature. Plant uses were then categorised into one of 22 use categories.
