Attempts have been made to provides comprehensive information on the distribution pattern, nativity, classification, cultivation practices and uses of some important medicinal plants of India. The distribution pattern of the species plays an important role for prioritization of the species for cultivation and conservation. It has been noted that cultivation of medicinal plants within the distribution range has received greater success than the cultivation of species outside the distribution range. India has rich diversity in medicinal plants, which needs to be exploited judiciously without disturbing its ecological balance. Undoubtedly, resources need to be harnessed for economic development but simultaneously we have to be concerned about their regeneration, preservation and propagation, so what these are available to us for use on a sustainable basis.
