Tne indigenous plants wed by the Adibasis for food and medicine were particularly studied. Tne present paper deals with some more important medicinal plants encountered in the area of study. Tnirty-two species are discussed; these belong to 21 families and 29 genera of Angiosperms. Tne botanical name, family, habit, local names (in Telugu, Kui, Saora or OriYa languages), tribal medicinal uses, locality of observation and voucher herbarium specimens are given.
Those tribal uses which do not seem to be recorded in familiar published literature have been marked with an asterisk.
An index to 40 diseases referred in the paper is given.

During the exploration of Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal ethnobotanical information was collected from the tribes of Kondh, Munda, Oraon, Santal and Lodha along with plants. It is found that 20 species under 19 genera and 16 families are used by them for veterinary medicine. It is further discovered that most of them are new to the present day knowledge. Hence an attempt has been made to enumerate all such folklore plants in the present work incorporating its botanical name, local name, locality, traditional uses with voucher specimens deposited in Economic Botany Section of Botanical Survey of India.- Additions to the Indian Grass Flora in last Two Decades

More thmn 100 medicinal plants belonging to 63 genera and 42 families are found in the mangrove vegetation of Sunderbans, West Bengal, India. Seved of these plant-species, e.g. Avicennia marina, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, B. parviflora, Ceriops decandra, Nypa fruticans, etc. are restricted to the marshy deltaic estuary only. After prolonged field work, and comparison with the available published literature it is seen that medicinal uses of 43 species, and one variety such as Aegialitis rotundifolia, Blumea wightiana, Ceriops decandra, Heliotropium curassavicum are practically unknown or less known.
The specimens of these species have been exhibited in crude drug museum of Pharmacognosy Section, Botanical Survey of India, Howrah.

The paper deals with 30 selected species of plants e.g. Costus speciosus (Keen.) Sm., Drynaria quercifolia (L.) J. Sm., Melastoma malabathricum L., Mimosa pudica L., Pedilanthus tithymaloides (L.) Poit., Premna latifolia Roxb., Solanum viarum Dunal, Thelypteris arida (D. Don) Morton, etc. which are used as medicine by some of the tribals like Mech, Rabha and Oraon of the Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal in their traditional system of treatment.
Ethnobotanical field study reveals some interesting information about mode of their uses of plants in various ailments either single or in combination with other plant parts. It has been observed that though these tribes are living under same environment and using the same species of plants for curing disease, their Prescriptions are quite different. This indicates that the tribes are still retaining their own tradition so far as treatments are concerned.
