Abstract
The Garhwal Himalaya is rich in medicinal plant diversity. Several medicinal plants are used to cure various ailments since time immemorial. The present study is an attempt to enumerate the ethno-medicinal use of some rare plants by the rural folk of Pauri and Kot block around the Randi stream catchment area, district Pauri Garhwal. Elderly people and Vaidyas (local herbal healers) were interviewed for their knowledge on the various uses of the medicinal plants found in the adjacent areas. A total of 89 medicinal plants species were recorded and documented along with their botanical name, family, vernacular name, parts used etc. The study emphasizes the herbal potential of Uttarakhand and will also provide a base line for conservation and further scientific investigation
