Abstract
The Kokni tribal residing in Nasik and Dhule districts of Maharashtra
depends on plant wealth for their livelihood. The ethnobotanical study revealed
that plants species belonging to Asteraceae family are used by the tribal as
medicine for curing different ailments and as food. The present paper deals
with floristic diversity of plants belonging to family Asteraceae growing in
Nasik and Dhule districts of Maharashtra. Most of the species were seen in wild
state but few occurred as common crop weeds like Ageratum, while Glossocardia,
was found rarely and occurred mainly on hilly slopes. Parthenium
hysterophorus was found to be the strongest weed in the areas under
investigation. Nearly all the members were herbaceous and grow abundantly
throughout the year in the area under study.
