Plants are being used by the human beings, since a very long time. A constant research is being done on the relationship between plants and man. Man's vital interest in plants, primarily as a source of food, shelter, and clothing dates back to the very origin of human civilization. Considering the richness of plant world, the knowledge of plants acquired by man is still meager. The wild plants of the famine affected area were also badly damaged and people explosively remained dependent on such wild plants which were being used during famine period. Approximately 32 plant species are utilized as famine food in the Karauli District. Important plant species are Acacia nilotica, Achyranthes aspera, Capparis decidua, Cenchrus biflorus, Citrullus colocynthis, Cyperus rotundus, Ficus spp., Pedalium murex, Prosopis cineraria, Salvadora persica, Tribulus terrestris etc.
