Abstract :

Jaynagar–1 is a block of South–24 Pargana district in the Indian State of West Bengal. The town of Jaynagar is an ancient place. The name of Jaynagar came from the name of the local goddess "Joychandi". Gradually during the course of time it became "Joychandinagar" and then "Joynagar" or "Jaynagar". Knowledge of medicinal plants and their uses as medicine has been a part of the culture of Bengal since ancient days. Though, very little information exists on the flora in general of our concern area, and medicinal species found within its particular periphery. It is urgent to document this information before such valuable plants gets extinct during the course of urbanization. Identification, mapping using Arc GIS 10.5 and findings of medicinal importance from available literature of the naturally occurring medicinal plants of Jaynagar –1 South–24 Pargana, West Bengal, India is our main concern.
