elaborate the species diversity of medicinal flora of Changa
Valley. The Study revealed that 41 medicinal plants, belonging to
30 families are used for various ailments. Out of which only two
species belong to Pteridophytes. Herbs with 27 species were found
to be the most used life forms followed by trees with 6 species,
shrubs with 5 species and Climbers with 2 species in descending
order. These plants resources have great ethanobotanical
importance, especially used for curing various ailments through
indigenous system of medicine. Some important medcinal plants of

Viola serpense, valeriana jatamansi, Geranium wallichianum,
