Abstract
An ethnobotanical study was done in the Vellambi forest, Kanyakumari District. A total of 86 plant species belonging to 43 families were reported in the study area. The medicinal plants used by the tribes were arranged by scientific name, common name, family name, plant parts used and theraperutic uses. Out of 43 families, Euphorbiaceae had 10 species which was the dominent family during the study period. The conservation of these species in specific and a search for natural alternatives to these would save way for excarating the hidden medicinal wealth in many other widely avilable plants in the region.
