Keywords:
Abstract
An ethno botanical study was conducted from 2009 to 2012 to investigate the uses of threatened medicinal plants by local tribal people in Eastern Madhya Pradesh. The results obtained revealed that 27 plants were used as a cure of 15 ailments belonging to Leguminosae (Fabaceae) family. All the plants collected from the study area were either endemic or threatened. The need for the conservation of these threatened plants cannot be over emphasized as most tribal people in the study area depend mostly on Plants of these species. Proper conservation and management plans are suggested to conserve the medicinal plant resources before it lost forever.References
