Ethno botany is the study of how people of a particular culture and region make the use of indigenous plants.Ethno botany has its roots in botany, the study of plants. Botany, in turn, originated in part from an interest in finding plants to help fight illness. In fact, medicine and botany have always had close ties. Many of today's drugs have been derived from plant sources. To discover the practical potential of native plants, an ethno botanist must be knowledgeable not only in the study of plants themselves, but must understand and be sensitive to the dynamics of how cultures work. Indigenous knowledge refers to knowledge system embedded in the cultural tradition of regional, indigenous or local communities. These kinds of knowledge are crucial for survival. The indigenous knowledge is based on the accumulation of experiences and observations over the generations. Indigenous plant being evolved along with the indigenous people during generations had close relationship. They seem to be complementary to each other. Traditional knowledge is generally passed orally or through songs, stories, rituals, legends etc.
