摘要：

Ethnobotanical study of plants revealed that the local community of Ghalegy, District Swat, invariably uses 126
species of 59 families for various purposes. Based on their traditional local uses, fifty- seven species ( 4512%) were classified
as medicinal, forty-seven as fire wood ( 3713%) , forty- five as forage ( 3517%) , twenty- eight as honey bee species
( 2212%) , twenty- seven as vegetable species ( 2114%) , 25 as edible fruits ( 14 wild and 11cultivated) , thirteen as timber
wood ( 1013%) , twelve as ornamental ( 91 5%) , eleven as furniture wood, ten as shelter and thatch makers
( 719%) , ten as fencing ( 719%) , five as poisonous ( 4%) , four as religiousPsuperstitious species, three species used
in making hand sticks and wooden tools ( 21 4%) , three as utensil cleaner species ( 214%) , three as evil repellent and
one as fish poisoning species. The area is in plant resources and traditional knowledge but it needs ecological management
for its sustainability.
