Abstract

The present study represents the information about the treatment of various skin diseases by the tribals of Papikondalu forest, Andhra Pradesh, India. A total of 19 medicinal plant species belonging to 19 genera and 16 families were recorded. The documented medicinal plants were labeled alphabetically with their voucher specimen number, family name, vernacular names, parts used and mode of administration. Majority of the plant species described in the present paper was used in the treatment of abscess, septic ulcers, scabies, ring worms, allergy and pimples. The documentation of these medicinal plants against such diseases reveals that these ethnic people are still dependent on local vegetation for their life care.
