Traditional medicine has its own great importance in Indian society. This communication presents information on the traditional uses of thirty trees collected from the various areas of district Bijnor (U.P.). The present study attempted to discern if traditional plant use and availability of important common medicinal plants are maintained in today's urban environment.
