The present study was conducted in Morgah Biodiversity Park, Rawalpindi during 2006 to enlist the economic importance of medicinal plants with their medicinal properties and uses. The inhabitants of the area have to use the medicinal plants for various purposes and have for a long time been dependent on surrounding plant sources for their food, shelter, fodders, health care and other cultural purposes. However, changes in their life style seem to be responsible for the decline of practice in the local use of herbs for medicinal uses. It is therefore important to record the ethno botanical uses of these plants before the information is lost. The ethonobotanocal data were collected through questioners by interviewing local communities, local Tabib and Hakims. In total 40 species belonging to 39 genera and 32 families were recorded which were used medically by inhabitants of the area.
