Abstract

Abstract This paper presents documented potential ethno-medicinal plants of family Euphorbiaceae. Use of different plants for medicinal purpose is very common among the tribal communities of southern Bankura of West Bengal. In this present study, the 13 plant species of Euphorbiaceae were found effective in curing some common diseases. These plants are enumerated with binomial names, vernacular names, parts sued, habit ethno-medicinal uses by different tribes. Religious and cultural faith, poor economy and lack of modern medicinal facilities in the study area seem to be the cause of utilization of those plants.
