neighborhood flora starts with human civilization. Besides food, feed clothes
and shelter, plants are important source of drugs. These plants or its parts
therefore used either directly or after processing by the native people
against various diseases, disorders and ailments. A survey was conducted on
the tribal district of Malkangiri of Orissa to identify and record various
ethno medicinally important plants and their medicinal uses. In the present
investigation there are 134 species of plants belong to 69 families and 128
genera are recorded and
used in various ailments by different tribes of Malkangiri
district of Orissa.
INTRODUCTION Ethnobotany is an age-old process starting from human civilization .The
present paper deals with the result of exploration of ethnomedicinally
important taxa growing in the tribal locality of Malkanagiri district.The
district is named after its headquarters town Malkangiri .During formation of
Orissa Province in 1936 Malkangiri was a "Taluk" of Nabrangpur
sub-division of Koraput District of Orissa.In 1962 it was upgraded to a
subdivision of Koraput district. The present Malkangiri district got its
identity as an independent district due to reorganizations of districts of
Orissa as per notification on During the ethno-botanical study among the tribes of the district the following information has been colleted. Frequency, locality of collection and local names of plants have been given for each species. Regarding the folklore claims mostly such information has been gathered from local ‘Baids is given in this paper and the information does not seem to have been recorded in the works of Chopra et al. (1956, 1969), Dastur (1951, 1961) and Wealth of India (1948-1972). MATERIALS Ethnobotanical surveys have been carried out in various tribal pockets of Malkangiri district. First hand information on ethnomedicinal plants were collected in the field and confirm through the tribal healers their location in various forest patches .The plants are arranged family wise followed by botanical name of the plant, locality,ethnomedicinal use in briefs and local name (Warrier,P.K.et al.1993) .The voucher specimen have been deposited in the herbarium of Departments of Botany of P.N. College,(Autonomous) Khurda-752057 ,Orissa,India. RESULT Malkangiri is one of the tribal rich districts of Orissa famous for its Bonda a primitive tribe which are unique in their ethno cultural heritage and far from the modern civilization and mostly depend on the forest and forest produce for their livelihood including the other tribes.Malkangiri is one of the richest botanical treasures in Orissa is under intense biotic pressure owing to forest fire , practice of podu cultivation by the tribal groups ,over exploitation of medicinal plants for drugs and conversion of forest to agricultural lands. These factors of degradation result not only in the depletion of certain valuable interesting medicinal taxa but also leads to substantial reduction in the density and genetic diversity of forest cover. (Tiwari et al, 1999). This rapid damage to natural habitats, thus threatning the very survival of several indigenous species. The present investigation is carried out by the intensive field exploration and interaction with the tribal people for nearly three years to identify the ethnomedicinal plants and their uses. The data when crosschecked with the published literature, it was found that most of the uses are either less known or not recoded earlier. During the survey 134 species belong to 128 genera and 69 families have been collected ,critically studied and mentioned in the paper. The present study was unique in nature so far as the information is concerned. All the medicinal herbs reported in the paper are being employed as herbal drugs in various pharmaceutical preparations. During the study it is observed that the family Fabaceae are dominantly used by the tribals to cure their various ailments followed by Asteracea, Malvacea and Euphorbiaceae, Rubiaceae and Mimosaceae, Apocyanaceae, Acanthaceae, Verbenaceae, Menispermaceae,Sterculiaceae,Tilliaceae, Convolvulaceae, Caesalpiniacea, Moraceae, Zingiberaceae, Amaranthaceae, Lamiaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Solanaceae, Boraginaceae, Ascleiadaceae, Mollaginaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Combretaceae, Rhamnaceae, Meliaceae, Rutaceae, Flacourtiaceae, Cleomaceae, Dillieneaceae and others. It is also found that their are certain species which are discontinuous in distribution and presently occur in the scheduled habitats which are rather becoming endangered/rare either on account of habitat loss or any other factors. So this study will help conserve and to restore the genetic diversity of medicinal plants which are immense potential in indigenous system of Indian medicines.
