Indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants is scarcely recorded. Knowledgeable people have either died without divulging their knowledge on medicinal plants to others or refuse to part with Indigenous knowledge system for reason best known to them. Probably it was a sort of keeping secrecy. Ethnic people found in the areas are ‘Gond’ Protection of traditional medicinal knowledge is most important in the present scenario. Ayurveda, Unani and Homeopathic systems of medicines rely heavily on medicinal plants and therefore, scientific cultivation of medicinal plants and extensive phytochemical research is being carried out. Present work deals with about 239 medicinal plants in the study areas, details of 34 medicinal plants are given here.
