Abstract

A comprehensive research was carried out of fern-allies and ferns known to occur in Maidan Valley of Dir Lower Khyber Pakhtun Khwa Pakistan, which we have documented the medicinal value of selected ptridophytes. Out of the total number of taxa (taxa of fern allies and taxa of ferns) recorded from the selected area, a significant proportion is medicinally important. The highest number of medicinally important taxa amongst these, the genera Dryopteris (07) and Asplenium (06). For each taxon included is provided the botanical name, family, common parts used, chemical constituents and medicinal properties.
