Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
In the present study, I concluded that the selected flora, from A.V.V.M Sri Pushpam College Campus have good vegetation status and the availability of Medicinal Plants and the uses should be documented. In all nearly 170 species representing 154 genera and 63 families were reported to be medicinal plants. Herb - 75, Tree - 44, Shrub - 37 Climber - 8, climbing herb – 2, climbing shrub – 2 and Creeper-2 presented in this area. The conservationists should take necessary action to protect this flora from plastic pollution. For this, an environmental awareness programme should be conducted to the college students to safeguard this flora from pollution and deforestation. Majority of the collected plants are having the medicinal property. It is interesting to note that such a way of life, particularly with respect to healthcare practices has hardly undergone any change even in the present day.
