An attempt has been made to prepare a detailed account on ethnomedicinal uses of exotic plant species of Madhya Pradesh. In the present paper the ethnomedicinal uses of 63 exotic Angiospermic plant species belonging to 32 families and 58 genera are described used by local tribes of the state. For each species the information regarding botanical names, family, local names, nativity, parts used and ethnomedicinal uses have been provided. 40% exotic plants came from America alone.
