An ethnomedicinal survey was carried out among the ethnic group of Valmiki tribes inhabited in Munchingaputtu Mandal, Alluri Sitaramaraju District, Andhra Pradesh during 2022-2023. A total of 68 plant species belonging to 60 genera and 34 families of ethnomedicinal plants were reported. All the plants need to be evaluated through phytochemical investigations to discover their potential as drugs. The study shows a high degree of novelty in the use of plants among the tribal people reflecting the revival of interest in traditional medicine.
