Present study was intended with the aim to document the pre-existence traditional knowledge and ethnomedicinal uses of plant species in the Palas valley. Data were collected during 2015-2016 to explore plants resource, their utilization and documentation of the indigenous knowledge. The current study reported a total of 65 medicinal plant species of 57 genera belonging to 40 families. Among 65 species, the leading parts were leaves (15) followed by fruits (12), stem (6) and berries (1), medicinally significant while, 13 plant species are medicinally important for rhizome, 4 for root, 4 for seed, 4 for bark and 1 each for resin. Similarly, thirteen species were used as a whole while twelve species as partial for medicinal purpose. Further, it is concluded that every part of plants such as bulb, rhizome, roots, barks, leaves, flowers, fruit and seed were used for various ailments. Moreover, among 65 plants species, 09 species are threatened and placed into Endangered (EN) and Least Concern (LC) categories of IUCN. The recorded data are very useful and reflects the significance of the Palas valley as medicinal plants resource area.
本研究旨在记录帕拉斯山谷植物物种的既有传统知识和民族药用用途。在2015 - 2016年期间收集数据，以探索植物资源、其利用情况以及本土知识的记录。当前研究报告了40个科57属的总共65种药用植物。在这65种植物中，主要入药部位是叶（15种），其次是果实（12种）、茎（6种）和浆果（1种），具有药用价值；而13种植物的根茎、4种植物的根、4种植物的种子、4种植物的树皮以及1种植物的树脂具有药用重要性。同样，13种植物全株入药，12种植物部分入药。此外，得出的结论是，植物的各个部位，如鳞茎、根茎、根、树皮、叶、花、果实和种子，都用于治疗各种疾病。此外，在65种植物物种中，有9种受到威胁，被列入国际自然保护联盟的濒危（EN）和低关注度（LC）类别。记录的数据非常有用，反映了帕拉斯山谷作为药用植物资源区的重要性。
