The present study documented the ethnobotanical and medicinal uses of plants from an ecologically fragile cold desert area of Lahaul-Spiti (Himachal Pradesh, India).
Local people use plants for curing the stomach troubles, pain reliever, cough, gastric disorders, and aphrodisiac and other household purposes.
In addition, chromosome numbers, male meiosis, and natural propagation were also investigated in these ethnobotanically used plants.
Present investigations also form the basis for exploitation of intraspecific chromosomal variation/new cytotypes recorded in some of the presently studied species to detect biochemical diversity in the medicinally important plants.
For documentation of ethnobotanical information, personal observations and interviews were conducted with medicine men, hakims, farmers, shepherds, local healers, and old aged people.
This study identified 40 plant species under 33 genera belonging to 17 families which have been used locally for curing various diseases and other purposes.
All the chromosome counts are new to the study area.
On worldwide basis, meiotic chromosome counts of n=14 and n=8 in Rosularia alpestris and Corydalis govaniana, respectively, are the first ever reports.
The present study indicates that the people of the area possess good knowledge about the different uses of plants in the area.
It has been noticed that due to the lack of interest among younger generations in the preservation of invaluable ethnic knowledge, there is every possible chance of losing such a rich heritage of knowledge.
It is very urgent to conserve such invaluable ethnic knowledge before it gets lost.
