Abstract

The present study was aimed to find out the actual status of selected medicinal plant, their relation with other plant species of Rajaji national park and their contribution to make the definite community structure. Several quadrats were laid down to study trees in the different parts of the selected area. On Site 1, three medicinal plant species Cassia fistula, Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, and Bauhinia variegata were found. Cassia fistula was also found on Site 2 with Terminalia arjuna. Sites 3, 4 and 5 showed the presence of Syzygium cumini, Terminalia arjuna and Emblica officinalis respectively.
