Corrigendum to “Phytotherapy of Polish migrants in Misiones, Argentina: Legacy and acquired plant species” [J. Ethnopharmacol. 153 (3) (2014) 810–830] Monika Kujawska a,b,n, Norma I. Hilgert a a Instituto de Biología Subtropical, Universidad Nacional de Misiones, Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales, Asoc.

The authors regret that during the final edition of Table 1 an error occurred. It happened due to involuntary press of an enter button, or alternatively due to PC incompatibility of the first and the second author. In consequence, the information in columns 3, 4, 5, and 6: plant parts used, health problem, modes of preparation and administration, number of citations since Mentha spicata L. line were shifted and moved. The structure of the table is fine, and all the information is there, but it is not in the right place and order. Therefore, the best possibility to correct this error is to publish the whole Table 1 once again. Please find the correct table below.
