Aravalli hills of Ajmer district is lies in the central Aravali hill range of Rajasthan. Aravalli hills in Rajasthan forms a special ecotone between the hilly forest of Aravalli’s and the Thar Desert located in the west of India. The vegetation in the hilly area is a significant component of the floral resources of Rajasthan, which is of immense educational and medicinal value. The present study of traditional knowledge on folkloric medicines shows that 16 herbaceous angiosperm plant species belonging to 11 families are used in daily life by the local community for various diseases. Our study concludes that the wealth of indigenous ethnographic knowledge may also present great potential for research into discovering new drugs to fight disease and other new uses. Ever-increasing human population, human encroachments, global warming, overgrazing are main threats for the vegetation of the area. Which needs instant measures for conservation.
