Abstract
The data on medicinal plants in the vegetation of district Mirpurkhas, Sindh was recorded during the month of June 2012. Thirty four families, 51 genera and 53 species were recorded which are used by local inhabitants as a medicine, fodder, fuel and for agricultural purpose. Many of the medicinal plants recorded are used for the treatment of two or more diseases by the local people. The family Fabaceae was dominant with respect to medicinal plants. The precious knowledge of medicinal flora is rapidly vanishing due to the illiteracy among the local people and also due to destruction of the medicinal plants. The present study was designed to convey the knowledge and importance of medicinal flora as well as traditional uses of such plants in daily life.
