| Abstract: | An attempt has
been made to evaluate plants used for medicare by the tribal people of the
Jaunsar area of Garhwal Himalayas. The study reveals the indigenous medicinal
uses of 66 plant species belonging to 52 genera and 41 families by the tribal
people of Jaunsar. Ethnomedicinal uses of 17 species recorded in the paper are
the first report from the region. Documentation of traditional knowledge on the
ethnomedicinal uses of these plants is essential for conservation efforts for
the plant resources and new drug development. |
