本文调查了阿鲁纳恰尔邦阿帕塔尼部落使用的药用植物的财富。阿帕塔尼人传统上定居在印度东喜马拉雅地区阿鲁纳恰尔邦下苏班西里地区齐罗山谷的七个村庄。本研究记录了Apatani村庄使用的158种药用植物。这些药用植物分布于73科124属。药用植物科以菊科最多，有11属19种，其次为菊科、茄科、唇形科和天南星科。在Apatani组的村庄中，使用地上植物部分治疗疾病的比例（80%）高于地下植物部分。在地上部分植物中，叶在大多数情况下（56种）使用，其次是果实。不同的地下植物形式，如根，块茎，根茎，鳞茎和假鳞茎被Apatani用作药物。约有52种疾病是用这158种药用植物治愈的。本研究的结果在不断变化的社会经济背景下进一步讨论。
This paper investigates the wealth of medicinal plants used by the Apatani tribe of Arunachal Pradesh. Apatani have traditionally settled in seven villages in the Ziro valley of Lower Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh in the Eastern Himalayan region of India. The present study has resulted in the documentation of 158 medicinal plant species used by the Apatani group of villages. These medicinal plant species were distributed across 73 families and 124 genera. Asteraceae was the most dominant family (19 species, 11 genera) of medicinal plants, followed by Zingiberaceae, Solanaceae, Lamiaceae and Araceae. For curing ailments, the use of aboveground plant parts was higher (80%) than the belowground plant parts in the Apatani group of villages. Of the aboveground plant parts, leaf was used in the majority of cases (56 species), followed by fruit. Different belowground plant forms such as root, tuber, rhizome, bulb and pseudo-bulb were used by Apatani as a medicine. About 52 types of ailments were cured by using these 158 medicinal plant species. The results of this study are further discussed in the changing socio-economic contexts.
