An implementation of the quantitative ethnobotany indices in R. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use platform for ethnobotanists to assess the cultural significance of plant species based on informant consensus. The package closely follows the paper by Tardio and Pardo-de-Santayana (2008). Tardio, J., and M. Pardo-de-Santayana, 2008. Cultural Importance Indices: A Comparative Analysis Based on the Useful Wild Plants of Southern Cantabria (Northern Spain) 1. Economic Botany, 62(1), 24-39. <doi:10.1007/s12231-007-9004-5>.
