Ethnobotanical studies in different regions and pertaining to different tribes of India were taken up; which is served as a real and true introduction to Indian ethnobotany. There are many more books have been written under heading medicinal and ethnomedicinal plants of India, but those books could not fulfil all the requirements of research scholar and readers.
