Abstract
The present paper deals wild vegetable plants was carried out during 2014-15 following standard ethnobotanical methods for documentation of underexploited, non-conventional, traditional and indigenous wild vegetables for further studies leading to sustainable utilization of these resources to overcome malnutrition in vegetarian diet. During present study 25 species belonging to 18 families have been documented. Chenopodium album is the most common and popularly used wild vegetable followed by Ipomoea aquatica and Coccinea grandis in the study area.
