Abstract: Beverage plants represent a crucial interface between human dietary culture and natural resourcesꎬ possessing
abundant nutritional and medicinal values. As a multi ̄ethnic city in Southwest Chinaꎬ Nanning lies in subtropical regionꎬ
characterized by high ecological diversity and complex cultural backgrounds. These conditions have nurtured a unique
tradition of plant use. Against the backdrop of rapid urbanizationꎬ to gain a deeper understanding of urban residents
utilization of beverage plants and their associated traditional knowledgeꎬ from June 2022 to March 2024ꎬ this study
conducted systematic ethnobotanical fieldwork in both urban and peri ̄urban areas of Nanning Cityꎬ employing methods
such as semi ̄structured interviewsꎬ market surveysꎬ and voucher specimen collection. The investigation was designed to
document species diversityꎬ plant parts usedꎬ preparation methodsꎬ and perceived health benefitsꎬ as well as to
understand the socio ̄cultural contexts in which these plants are used. The results were as follows: (1) A total of 185
beverage plant species were recordedꎬ belonging to 71 families and 143 generaꎬ with a predominance of herbaceous
species. (2) The most commonly used parts were whole herbs and leavesꎬ with hot water infusion and decoction as the
main processing methods. (3) The reported health functions included clearing heat and toxinsꎬ tonifying the bodyꎬ
aiding digestionꎬ and relieving diarrhea — reflecting traditional concepts aligned with local health needs. The results of
this study demonstrate that Nanning City possesses a rich variety of beverage plant resourcesꎬ reflecting the close
integration of biodiversity and multiculturalism. Moreoverꎬ relevant traditional knowledge remains preserved among
certain urban populations. From the perspective of urban ethnobotanyꎬ this paper reveals the current status and
intergenerational trends in the utilization of beverage plant knowledge in urban environments. It calls for promoting the
coordinated development of plant resource conservation and knowledge inheritance within urban contextsꎬ providing
theoretical foundations and practical references for local cultural revitalization and the healthy beverage industry.
