Abstract

During ethnopharmacobotanical explorations conducted in the villages around the University Campus, 57 species belonging to 35 families could be recorded. These species are presented along with their vernacular names, family and the mode of administration. The results display the vast biodiversity and the various uses of the plants for curing the common ailments and some specific diseases of the local communities. This ethnomedicinal study indicates that the area holds great potential for further pharmacological investigations.
