Abstract
A plant survey is usually conducted for examining a certain geographic area, analysis of existence of specific species and assessing of habitat appropriateness of those species available in that specific study area. A survey of medicinal plants in a given location helps in the comprehension of overall ecological circumstances by classifying the recorded plants into distinct biological life forms. The current study focuses on survey of ethnomedicinal plants in Pudurnadu. Pudurnadu is a village in Tirupattur district, Tamil Nadu, India, about 54 miles south of Vellore city. One of the effective ways to plant drug discovery has been discovered through ethnomedicinal survey. In our study, we recorded 146 medicinal plant species belonging to 59 families for the treatment of various ailments. The objectives of this study were to identify a rare medicinal plant in our study area and evaluate the phytochemical and antibacterial properties with several extracts of Bryophyllum pinnatum which was determined using the Agar well diffusion method against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis).
