The present book Compendium of Indian Folk Medicine and Ethnobotany (1991-2015) by Vartika Jain&S.K. Jain records ethno-botanical information on 4663 plant species used by different traditional communities/societies of India. This includes 4375 angiosperms from 1607 genera and 288 species from 138 genera of other groups (17 Gymnosperms, 64 Pteridophytes, 2 Bryophytes, 42 Fungi, 2 Algae and 11 lichens). This book also provides an index of over 21000 local names used by different tribal societies in different parts of our country, which will definitely help many researchers to identify a plant species. Abbreviations have also been provided for listing for the name of the different diseases. The book is a much awaited update of Dr. S.K. Jain's most referred "Dictionary of Indian Folk Medicine and Ethnobotany" published in 1991.
