In India, 68 million people belonging to 227 ethnic group and comprising of 573 tribal communities spread over 19% of the total area of the nation. There are 45,000 species of wild plant out of which 9,500 species are ethnobotanically important species. Of these 7,500 species are in medicinal use for indigenous health practices. Ethnobotanical work done in India in the last few decades has led to the publication of inventories and documentation of plants and their products used by the aboriginals for various purposes.
