An ethnobotanical study was conducted in Bustamante municipality, Nuevo León State, with the aim of knowing the species of plants that are used by the inhabitants of the region, as well as to know what kind of uses they give them. Visits to the municipality were held and a total of 52 people interviewed on the knowledge of plants and their use, which were collected and photographed for their taxonomic identification. Statistical tests of abundance and diversity and a similarity index of species and their use were applied. A total of 95 species in 84 genera and 44 families and 16 different kinds of use were recorded. The best represented genera were Agave and Acacia, and the Fabaceae family. The species with highest number of uses was Prosopis glandulosa first and Ebanopsis ebano in second place. The best represented categories were medicinal, food and ornamental. The stem, trunk and branches are parts of the plant mostly used by the people. The vegetation of the submontane shrubland was represented by the largest number of species of ethnobotanical use in the region. People of Bustamante have extensive knowledge on the use of plants and establish their own processes in transferring this knowledge over time.
