ABSTRACT

The studyexamined the utilization of wild plants for medicinal purposes and traditional plant knowledge in the Uttar Pradesh (U. P.) population. Data was obtained through conversations with neighbors. The traditional healers and the local community came up with a list of the traditional names for these plants. An extensive range of customs, ceremonies, and therapeutic applications linked to native plant species are included in Uttar Pradesh’s ethnobotanical knowledge. The profound bond that exists between communities and their natural settings is reflected in this knowledge, which has been passed down through the years through oral traditions and hands-on learning. Ethnobotanical knowledge also contributes to rural economies and communityresilience bysupporting traditional livelihoods like farming, herbal medicine, and handicrafts. In Uttar Pradesh, communities uphold sustainable lifestyles firmlyanchored in regional ecosystems through the integration of native farming methods and plant-based resources.

Key words : Ethnobotany, medicinal value and plants.
