An ethnomedicinal survey was carried out from G. Madugula Mandal, Alluri Sitaramaraju District, Andhra Pradesh, India. For documentation of important ethnomedicinal plants and information from the local Nukha Dora primitive community about their medicinal uses. The traditional knowledge of the Nukha Dora primitive tribe's traditional uses was collected through questionnaires and personal interviews during field trips. The identification and nomenclature of the listed plants were based on the Flora of Andhra Pradesh. A total of 40 plant species belonging to 36 genera and 31 families were identified by a taxonomic description and locally by ethnomedicinal knowledge of people existing in the region.
The present study focused on the ethnomedicinal uses of climbers and woody lianas species in Chintapalli Mandal, Alluri sitarama Raju district, Andhra Pradesh, India. A total of 60 climbing and woody lianas species belonging to 48 genera and 25 families were recorded in the ten study plots. Out of 25 families with regard to the number of species found within families, Apocynaceae was the most diverse climbing and woody lianas family in samples being represented by 13 species, followed by Convolvulaceae with (10 species), Fabaceae with (5 species), Vitaceae and Diascoriaceae with (4 species). Four families Aristolochiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Rhamnaceae and Smilacaceae with (2 species). Sixteen Families were represented by single species. Lianas are even rich in the field of ethnomedicine having diverse group of active biomolecules.
A landscape level plant diversity and population inventory was made in High altitude forest of eastern Ghats, Visakhapatnam District, Andhra Pradesh, India comprising mostly dry deciduous and moist deciduous forests. In all the three study sites, two belt transects of 5 × 1000 m size (totaling 1 ha) were laid in each site during 2022–2023 and all trees with ≥15 cm girth at breast height (gbh) were enumerated. Within each transect of 1000 x 5 m, quantitative data in respect of herb species was collected from two numbers of small sample plots each measuring 1m x 1 m. A total of 246 species was recorded on enumeration, of which 54 Trees, 50 Shrubs and 90 Herbs were noted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
