Abstract
One hundred and thirty two species were collected from the research area. These species were spread into 65 families, among them 61 families were angiosperms, 54 of them were dicot and 7 were monocot, while 3 families were pteridophytes and one was gymnosperm. Poaceae was the leading one with 13 species, followed by Solanaceae with 7 species and Polygonaceae with 6 species. All these species were divided in to two categories viz. medicinally important plants and species of multiple uses. A total of sixty (60) plants belonging to 43 families were medicinally important, among them 40 were angiosperms, in which 37 were dicot and 3 were monocot, while 2 were pteridophytes and one was gymnosperm. One hundred and four (104) species belonging to 55 families were of multiple uses, in which 52 were angiosperms, among them 47 were dicot and 5 were monocot, 2 were pteridophytes and one was gymnosperm (Table no. 1).
