英文摘要：

Four quantitative methods developed in recent years in ethnobotanical studies have been introduced in this paper.Among these methods,the measurements of informant consensus factor,utilization frequency and quality use agreement value are mainly used to understand the cultural importance of a certain plant to a given ethnic group,and the measurement of similarity index is very useful to understand the strategies of using plant resources between different communities.
