Abstract
Nepal, a multicultural country endowed with about 60 ethnic groups within two broad categories distributed along contour lines, paralleling preferred climates, and crops having specific cultural norms and values, has diverse cultural contexts regarding natural resources. Various studies related to dependency of ethnic groups on plant resources in different communities have been previously done in Nepal. There are some studies regarding ethnic uses of plant species in Magar community. Magar, one of the main ethnic groups in Nepal, entered the country around 1100 B.C. They live mainly in Jajarkot, Rukum, Rolpa, Myagdi, Baglung, Pyunthan, Palpa, Parbat, Gorkha, and Tanahu in western and central Nepal, and Sindhuli and Udaypur toward eastern Nepal. In east Nepal, they use medicinal plant species to treat particular diseases/disorders. This chapter deals with an assessment of the use pattern of plant species and documentation of the ethnic uses of plant species among the Magar-Kham.
