The present study shows that 692 species of angiosperms under 469 genera belonging to 115 families are found in Jhabua district. Out of these 150 species in 102 genera and 20 families belongs to Monocot and 542 species in 367 genera and 95 families belongs to Dicot. The tribal of the district are totally depends on the forest resources for their livelihood. Due to some natural and manmade factors several species are struggling for their existence, proper conservation and management plans are needed to save the natural resources especially medicinal and dwindling plant species of the district.

Total area of the district is 6,792 Kms. The Total population of the district as per 2001 census is 13, 94,345. Most of the village habitants of Jhabua belong to tribal communities like Bheel, Bhilala and Pataya. Out of these tribes Bheel and Bhilala stand high in strength, scattered in most of the villages of the district. The Bhil tribe is one of the most important and the third largest tribe of India (Fig. 2). The name has been derived from Dravidian word bil or vil meaning bow because they always keep bow and arrow for hunting. Bheel and Bhilala tribes live close to the forest and are largely dependent on the wild biological resources for their livelihood. They consume leaves, Fig. 2: Bhil Tribe family 147 Acad. J.

Chaubey, Archana Sharma and G. Krishnamurthy State Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur - 482008 (M.P.), India E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Madhya Pradesh is rich in plant wealth and endemic flora. As a part of conservation programme, institute has established an arboretum-cum-botanic garden in 1976, covering an area of 7.34 ha. The garden complex includes various sections situated in the campus and nursery. The main forest botanic garden is situated in 4.25 ha area and houses a wide array of forest flora including trees, shrubs, climbers and herbal plant species in various sections. Of the total species planted, over 50% were threatened and ascribed with conservation value. The garden was of scientific and educational utility. The institute provides diploma and degree courses in collaboration with Universities and colleges. The institute forest botanic garden has been registered under the network of Indian Botanic Gardens in 2005. It was one among the 140 Botanic gardens of India registered by Botanic Garden Conservation International under BGCI-Investing in Nature-India programme. Detailed online information was available on the IBGN website (http//www.ibgn.org). SFRI-BG is unique in terms of its scientific arrangement of plants. The species wise conservation status and uses pertaining to ethnic, medicinal and economic importance were described here.

Undulating topography characterized by low hills, narrow valleys, well defined plateau and plains is the general physiography of the tract which separates the fertile Gangetic plains of Utter Pradesh in the north from the broad table land of Deccan in the south. The elevation varies from over 61 m to 1438m above mean see level. The major protion of the Catchments of many important rivers like the Narmada, the Mahanadi, the Tapti, Wainganga, the Son, the Chan hal and the Manvi lie in Madhya Pradesh.

The main intent of the present study is to gather complete information about the diversity of medicinal plants found in Sihawa Gram Panchayat (GP) of the Dhamtari district. Sihawa GP has a hilly terrain, a wild enclosure that is suited to the diversity of medicinal plants. In this study, the medicinal plants found there are listed along with their scientific name, local name, family, habit, parts used, and related traditional knowledge as told by the local tribes living there. Total 71 medicinal plant species with 60 genera distributed among 38 families were identified, following taxonomic literature and standard methods. Fabaceae family registered as the largest family with 13 species (18%). The tree showed their maximum presence with 46% and followed by herb 25%, shrub 23%, and a minimum of 6% climbers (4 species).
