The article deals with some aspects of ethnobotany of "Pahari" community living in Basohli-Bani region of Jammu and Kashmir State ; it had so far remained unrecorded due to inaccessibility of the area. A combination of sub-tropical and temperate climate has considerable effect on its vegetation and also the inhabitants. The uses of 39 plant species are recorded in this communication. Yams are of common occurrence in this region and are reputed not only as edible but also in home remedies against swellings due to sprains or wounds. The medicinal uses of Rosularia alpestris and Viburnum grandiflorum are reported for the first time.
