Abstract: Ethnobotanical investigation of traditional medicinal plants used by the Santal community at Sadar Upazila of Chapai Nawabganj district, Bangladesh was recorded.

A total of 151 plant species under 131 genera and 64 families have been documented which are used for the treatment of 102 categories aliments/diseases. For each species scientific name, local name, habit, family, ailments to be treated, mode of treatment and part(s) used are provided.
