| Abstract: | An ethnomedicinal survey was carried out to
collect information on the uses of medicinal plants used by the tribal people
of some selected areas of Birbhum district of West Bengal and Dumka district of
Jharkhand. A total of 28 ethnomedicinal plants have been recorded here which
are used in formulation of 10 different ethnomedicinal preparations for curing
10 types of diseases and ailments. Many of these ethnomedicinal preparations
are new as they have not been recorded earlier in standard literature . Studied
taxa have been considered under 28 species, 27 genera and 25 families of
flowering plants. Finally, the investigated plant species have been enumerated
according to the formulation prescribed by the medicine men, along with
botanical names, families, local or tribal names, parts used and mode of
administration. |
