Abstract : Some ethnobotanical information on 53 Euphorbiaceae plant species were collected in ethnobotanical results of surveys carried out in Lubumbashi (DR Congo) and its surroundings from 2000 to 2012. These Euphorbiaceae species surveyed belong to 5 biological types whose mesophanerophytes (38%), microphanerophytes (34%), nanophanerophytes (13%), therophytes (9%) and Chamaephytes (6%). The majority of these plant species are growing in the miombo and forest gallery. These results also show that the roots or their bark (32.75%), the stems or their bark (28.65%) and leaves (26.32%) are the most used parts of plants in traditional medicine. The decoction (43.57%) is the most preparation routes of drug recipes and the drink (43.57%) and the local application (19.29%) are the most used administration routes. Various diarrheal diseases occupy the first place among the treated diseases with a rate of 11.39%, followed by sexually transmitted diseases (10.62 %), various wounds (5.6 %) and abdominal pains (4.05 %).
