Abstract: In the present work I present a socio-philosophical look at the functions and utilities of medicinal and ornamental plants, as well as their symbolic representations of the orixás in the religions of African and Afro-Brazilian matrices with a focus on umbanda, in addition to cataloguing the plants observed in the field research, as well as their scientific and popular/regional names of the main plants used. Thus, the results point to the confirmation of the various functionalities and representativeness of herbs and plants, whether medicinal or ornamental, presented here, above all considering that plants are not always mere "tools" of beauty of a space, they have specific functions according to the culture or the place they are in.
