Ethnobotanical Documentation and Phytosociological Analysis of Medicinal Flora in the Sakambhari Hills, Udaipurwati (Jhunjhunu District), Rajasthan, India

Abstract

Presents an ethnobotanical and botanical survey of medicinal plants in Talal Sakambhari District of Udaipurwati District under Jhunjhunu District of Rajasthan State. The Sakambhari Hills are part of the semi-arid Shekhawati environment, which supports diverse plant communities traditionally used in local tribal and village health practices. This study was conducted to investigate local knowledge of medicinal plant uses and to assess the ecological distribution and community structure of these species. 35 species of traditional medicinal plants, belonging to 22 families, have been identified, highlighting the wealth of traditional plant knowledge and the need to conserve these valuable resources, which are often threatened with extinction in the region [1].
