Abstract
Sacred groves are the places, where numbers of plants are conserved and preserved and providing primary health care of surrounding people. Koraput district of Odisha is a tribal dominated area and has rich tradition of nature conservation through cultural and religious practices. Though maximum number of sacred groves has been reported from Koraput, there is hardly any scientific documentation of ethno-medicinal plant species in them. The present study has documented 30 ethno-medicinal plant present in different sacred groves of Koraput, which are distributed in 28 genera belonging to 21 different families in a systematic manner. Most of the medicinal plant species are distributed under the family Asteraceae followed by Combretaceae and Rutaceae. The plant part used for the medicinal purposes and the ailments related to the plants have also been recorded during the study.
