The use-value (UV) index:

UVc=ΣU_{is}/ns

where U is the sum of the total number of use citations by all informants for a given species, divided by the total number of informants (ns).

The fidelity level (Fl),

FI=Np/(N×100)

where Np is the number of informants that reported a use of a plant species to treat a particular disease, and N is the number of informants that used the plants as a medicine to treat any given disease.
