generally used for medicinal purposes were recorded in the survey. In the most of the cases, the underground plants (roots/
rhizomes/tubers) 25% are used for medicinal purposes, 20% leaves, the whole plant 16%, barks 11%, fruits 9%, flowers 7%,

threat due to habitat degradation, over exploitation and unscientific harvesting in the study areas.
