| Abstract: | Andaman and
Nicobar Islands represent a biological paradise for plant biodiversity.
Medicinal plants of these islands also represent a typical Malayan flora. About
52 medicinal plants are found to be endemic. The present article encompasses a
glimpse of a few important medicinal plants from Bay Islands along with the
folk knowledge gleaned through recurrent survey. Enormous prospect in drug
discovery is discernible from these species. |
