ABSTRACT
In the past, humans had to rely more on natural resources. They relied so heavily on plants for food and medicine that they tapped into the commercial and medicinal possibilities of many different kinds of plants. The earliest references to the use of plants for medicinal reasons in Hindu culture may be found in the Rig Veda, often regarded as the oldest reservoir of human knowledge. Many studies on India's unique flora have been published by ethnobotanists from different parts of the nation. However, this is why Chhatarpur is so understudied. Therefore, the present study has included many field surveys in various locations throughout the state of Chhatarpur, 2020–2021, to examine and record ethnobotanical data.
