| Abstract: | An ethno-medicinal survey of plants in Tripura state revealed that some less known medicinal
plants have been used by the indigenous tribes. The valid scientific name, family, local name(s),
habit, dosages and traditional formulation of 33 species belonging to 32 genera and 25 families are
enumerated in the paper. The ethnic people of Tripuri and Reang communities of Tripura are
involved in using these medicinal plants. Traditional beliefs, concepts, knowledge and practices
among them for preventing, lessening or curing disease are accessible till now. Still they depend upon
such traditional healthcare and the need for immediate documentation of such knowledge and
conservation of these valuable plants are emphasized to secure it for our future generation. |
