Abstract

Madhya Pradesh is rich in floristic as well as ethnic diversity. It comprises 50 Districts and forest covers 30.9% of the total area of the state. More than 41 tribal communities reside in or around the forests and depend mainly on forest resources for their daily requirements like food, fodder, fibre, gum, resin, tannin, wood, medicines, dye etc. Presently, there are a number of ethnobotanical studies being carried out in different tribal inhabited localities of Madhya Pradesh. The paper deals with the 91 weed species of probable medicinal potential, belonging to 79 genera and 38 families from Madhya Pradesh. These taxa are used for curing various ailments among the different ethnic societies.
