This paper presents the results of a study found in the Sambhal district of Utter Pradesh in India on the range of different plant species along with their vernacular names, customs and occurrence. This research is the first of its kind carried out to show the current status of plant diversity in the district. A total of 134 species of medicinal plants belonging to 65 families in this area have been described in current research. The study also recognises that because of the very rapid rise in the human population and their increased desire for more use of natural resources, the ecological equilibrium is being disrupted. In planning for the conservation and sustainable use of available resources, proper understanding of plant diversity can also play an important role.
