A Study on Medicinal Flora of Yamunanagar

Ruchi Urana

Abstract: One of the most interesting and valuable pact of study of economic botany lies in the study of medicinal plants. In this we were mainly focused on the distribution of medicinal flora in various regions of the Yamunanagar and its applications in daily life for human use. To get more information regarding medicinal plants in this area we went to Shatavari Vatika and Choundhary Devi Lal Herbal Park from where we got ethno-medico uses of local plants from Aryvedic practioners. We have taken photographs of medicinal plants from root to tip and some close resolution photo of leaves and flowers for proper identification of the plants. After identification of plants economic and medicinal values of plants were mentioned in this study. Due to habitat destruction by humans these plants were conserved by ex-situ method or by propagation.
