喜马拉雅森林是最重要的药用植物来源，并为当地人民提供有用的物种。Kedarnath野生动物保护区（KWLS）位于Garhwal喜马拉雅地区的内部。本研究是在KWLS的Madhmeshwar地区进行的，目的是了解药用植物的生态状况，并进一步关注这些植物在研究区的民族医学用途。采用沿着海拔梯度随机取样的方法，收集民族药用植物的生态信息。本研究中所遇到的植物的药用特性的信息是通过问卷调查产生的，并与相关文献进行了比较。结果表明，该地区共有药用植物152种，其中草本103种，灌木32种，乔木17种，隶属于61科123属。共有18种植物属于稀有、濒危（极度濒危）和易受伤害类别。本研究记录了药用植物的传统用途，它们的生态地位和这些植物在最大的保护区Garhwal喜马拉雅山的重要性。本研究可作为药用植物的基线信息，并可能有助于进一步加强这一重要资源的保护。
Himalayan forests are the most important source of medicinal plants and with useful species for the local people. Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary (KWLS) is situated in the interior part of the Garhwal Himalayan region. The presented study was carried out in Madhmeshwar area of KWLS for the ecological status of medicinal plants and further focused on the ethnomedicinal uses of these plants in the study area. Ecological information about ethnomedicinal plants were collected using random quadrats in a random sampling technique along an altitudinal gradient in the KWLS. Information on medicinal properties of plants encountered in the present study was generated by questionnaire survey and was also compared with relevant literature. A total of 152 medicinally important plant species were reported, in which 103 were found herbs, 32 shrubs and 17 were tree species which represented 123 genera of 61 families. A total of 18 plant species fell into the rare, endangered (critically endangered) and vulnerable status categories. The present study documented the traditional uses of medicinal plants, their ecological status and importance of these plants in the largest protected area of Garhwal Himalaya. This study can serve as baseline information on medicinal plants and could be helpful to further strengthen the conservation of this important resource.
