Documentation of the indigenous knowledge through ethnobotanical studies is important for the conservation of knowledge of traditional medicines preserved in tribal and rural communities of various parts of the world before it is permanently lost. In order to document the traditional knowledge and utilization of the medicinal plants present in Kadambur hills, by the Irula tribes, an exhaustive survey was carried out for 5 months from November 2015 to March 2016.
