Abstract
The marketed freely species of epiphytes of cultural value are identified and the marketing of the same ones is characterized, being valued the incidence of certain physiologic aspects of the species and some human activities on the base of the resource, to define elements that contribute to the sustainable management of this Non-Wood Forest Product of the Cuban forests. 13 species of epiphytes were identified, distributed in some botanical families. Tillandsia fasciculata is reported like the more numeric frequency and the most usual in the commercialization. The results of the realized interviews resume the reported uses in four use categories settled down: (1) ornamental use, (2) cultivate independent, (3) medicinal use, (4) religious labours. The Value Index of General Use calculated for each species express the importance and the consent grade in the use of the same ones for all the interviewees.
