| Abstract: | The ferns and fern – allies (FFAs) are the
neglected group of plants as valuable resources in folk utilization by ethic
groups of Manipur. A total of 20 plants belonging to 15 families were
documented and categorized into food (4), medicine (5), abrasives (2), manure
(3), decoration (7) and ritual ceremonies (2) based on their mode of uses.
Plant information on various ethnobotanic uses was collected directly from
villages, local herbal practitioners maibas
and various anthropological literatures. The communication serves to bridge the
gap that existed among the people, and also to catapult FFAs as a sustainable
plant resource, and for more effective strategies for the conservation. |
