General Information about the Medicinal Plants in the Aravalli Ranges, its Conservation in the Form of Aravalli Biodiversity Park, India

The Aravalli Range also spelled Aravali is a mountain range in Northwestern India, running approximately 670 km 430 mi in a south west direction, starting near Delhi, passing through southern Haryana and Rajasthan, and ending in Gujarat. The highest peak is Guru Shikhar at 1,722 metres 5,650 ft . In Rajasthan, the range runs from Khetri in the northeast to Khed Brahma in the southwest Within Rajasthan for a length of about 550 kilometers. Aravalli's is the oldest range of fold mountains in India. Geologically, Aravalli range can be traced back probably close of the dharwar times and is composed of rocks belonging originally to the Delhi system, folded in a synclinorium occupying the site of the geosynclines which have been deeply eroded. The Aravalli range and Hilly Region has been further sub divided into two smaller physiographic units 1. North Eastern Aravalli Range2. Central Aravalli Range3. The Mewar Rocky region and Bhorat Plateau4. Abu Block RegionThe standard ethnobotanical methods were followed. The plants were identified by available literature and flora. The data was collected though a series of field investigations. The systematic and random sampling methods were employed to study different locations. Ethnobotanical information was gathered using semi structured interviews. The paper records count 53 important plant species of medicinal value from different families. Most of the plant species belonged to family Fabaceae followed by Moraceae and Asteraceae. The study revealed that Aravalli hills Gurgaon has much useful medicinal floras, that local people can use the parts of the plant in disease treatment and can modify, the ways of formulation application administration and ingredients used in preparation.
