Abstract
A total of 209 species were documented where 181 species were used against 379 diseases/ailments from a village common forest of Rangamati, Bangladesh. Leaves were reported as most utilized plant part while herbs were dominant. Diversity indices revealed that the study area was rich in diverse medicinal plants. Collected voucher specimens were deposited in the Chittagong University Herbarium with an accession number.

期刊介绍:
Bangladesh is a humid, subtropical country favouring luxuriant growth of microorganisms, fungi and plants from algae to angiosperms with rich diversity. She has the largest mangrove forest of the world in addition to diverse hilly and wetland habitats. More than a century back, foreign explorers endeavoured several floral expeditions, but little was done for non-vasculars and pteridophytes. In recent times, Bangladesh National Herbarium has been carrying out taxonomic research in Bangladesh along with few other national institutes (e.g. Department of Botany of public universities and Bangladesh Forest Research Institute).
