| Abstract: | Plants have been associated with health, nutrition
and overall care of mankind since time immemorial. Madhuca indica J. F. Gmel. (Family - Sapotaceae) is deeply associated with the culture and
livelihood of tribal people in North Maharashtra. It provides them food,
medicines, feed and medicines for their livestock, apart from its miscellaneous
utilities. It is boon for the poverty ridden forest dwellers. However, this
species has received hatred from the non-tribals in past and even in present
times. This trend has culminated into marginalization of this plant in wild
populations in this region. However, the aborigines concerned are conserving it.
This paper highlights its traditional uses by these tribal people. |
