This study is based on survey and field observations covering the Hatundi village of Ajmer district. 66 plant species representing 29 families have been found in the study area and 20 plant species belonging to family Leguminosae were further taken for elaborate study because of its maximum occurrence in the area. At the time of survey, it was learnt that traditional and botanical knowledge is passed on from generation to generation by elders. The knowledge of many people about common medicinally and economically important plants is limited to only a few people and this knowledge will be extinct slowly if not studied thoroughly and documented properly. We will thus, be deprived of many worthwhile facts about the usefulness of plant parts in use by tribals since time immemorial. The uses of family Leguminosae have been listed.
