Abstract: The study of ethnomedicinal plants was carried out with the Mara tribe in the Saiha district of Mizoram. In the present study 38 plant species belonging to 28 families were involved. The ethnomedicinal plants were used by the traditional users to treat different diseases. The importance of documenting ethnomedicinal plants in the region is important because of rapid loss of biodiversity due to anthropogenic activities and will help in conservation of the valuable used species.
