 The study documented the ethnobotany of the Kashmir Himalaya, focusing on the symbiotic relationship between plant and cultural diversity, as well as the support provided by cultural memories, ecological awareness, and social norms. It also evaluated the cross-cultural use of the flora in the region, and identified the key indicator species utilized by each ethnic group using multivariate statistical analysis. The study found that the gujo, bakawul, bahari, and Kashmiri ethnic groups shared similarities in terms of the plant's use, but also exhibited differences in the indicator's use. The study also revealed new uses for the following species, raw roots of jurinidolomiae used for tooth cleaning, seeds of verbascamthapsus applied for respiratory diseases, and flowers of sosiria simpsoniana given to anyone as a good luck wish.
