This study encompasses an investigation into the floral diversity and ethnobotanical insights within the Sarkaghat forest range of Mandi District, Himachal Pradesh. Within this region, a comprehensive botanical survey identified a total of 384 vascular plant species, which are further categorized into Angiosperms (comprising 100 families, 278 genera, and 374 species), Gymnosperms (1 family, 2 genera, and 3 species), and Pteridophytes (5 families, 5 genera, and 7 species). Among this diverse array of species, 71 are classified as trees, 97 as shrubs, 209 as herbs, and 7 as pteridophytes. This abundance underscores the significant biodiversity of the area and emphasizes the ethnobotanical relevance of these plants, particularly in their medicinal applications, which can greatly benefit the local population.
