Under in situ conservation adopted by FRLHT, 13 Medicinal Plants Conservation Areas (MPCAs) located in Karnataka established by FRLHT with the State Forest Departments have been considered for the present study. Detailed botanical survey has recorded the presence of 933 wild medicinal plant species of the 2000 known medicinal plant species in the Karnataka MPCA network, which includes 58 of the 110 Red Listed species assessed in Southern India. The analysis reveals the presence of higher percentage of medicinal plant species in Dry Deciduous Scrub Forest and a large proportion of these medicinal plants are used in folk systems of medicine. The current study also provides an insight into the floristic diversity, occurrence and distribution pattern across the forest types, which would ultimately help in informed conservation action plans.

The paper gives an account of 100 medicinal plants of the Kanha Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh. Correct botanical name, family name, vernacular name/s (if any) and medicinal uses of plants have been provided.

The paper highlights the importance of 69 medicinal plant species used either alone or in combination with other plants/part(s) to treat various diseases in different parts of India.
