Abstract

The remote villages and hamlets of Jalgaon district are repositories of indigenous knowledge about plant wealth. A total of 167 plant species with respect to their valid botanical names, family, local name, parts used, recipe, status whether wild or cultivated are presented disease-wise. Their floristic analysis in the region is presented. As many as 35 plant species are exotic which have been integrated with local traditions. Such a study would help to develop a database of medicinal plants and conservation for posterity.  Jalgaon district is a treasure trove of medicinal plant species.  If subjected to modern laboratory scrutiny, it would reveal new drugs or provide alternatives.
