A wide array of medicinal plants in India, primarily used by locals for health care, have found wide acceptance and adoption globally (either directly or processed) due to distinct advantages of good results, low or no side-effects and ease of access to general public. Indigenous and traditional systems of medicine in practice since historical times have shown potential (direct or indirect as immune-boosters) against many dreaded ailments including the recent global pandemic of COVID-19. With prediction of sixth mass extinction, there is worldwide concern as majority of these plants, collected from natural stands, are also facing threat of extinction. Since 1990s concerted efforts have been directed towards assessment of threat status, the basic requirement for prioritizing conservation activity to various species of plants and animals. In literature there is staggered information regarding list of threatened plants, including medicinal plants of India, compiled at either state level or national or international level. Analysis of these publications led to collation of a consolidated list of 84 species and the same is presented here. A brief account of conservation efforts in India at national level and supportive policy framework is also included. This compilation is aimed to serve as a comprehensive reference especially for beginners, researchers, conservationists, foresters, pharmaceutical professionals as well as policy makers.

印度的各种药用植物，主要​​由当地人用于保健，由于效果好、副作用低或无副作用以及易于获得一般药物等明显优势，已在全球范围内（直接或加工）得到广泛接受和采用上市。自历史时代以来，实践中的土著和传统医学系统已显示出对抗许多可怕疾病的潜力（直接或间接作为免疫增强剂），包括最近的全球大流行 COVID-19。随着第六次大规模灭绝的预测，全世界都在关注这些从自然林分收集的植物中的大多数也面临灭绝的威胁。自 1990 年代以来，人们一直致力于评估威胁状况，这是优先保护各种动植物物种的基本要求。在文献中，有关受威胁植物（包括印度的药用植物）清单的信息交错排列，在州级或国家级或国际级编制。对这些出版物的分析导致了 84 个物种的综合清单的整理，此处提供了相同的清单。还包括对印度在国家层面的保护工作和支持性政策框架的简要说明。本汇编旨在为初学者、研究人员、环保主义者、林务员、制药专业人士以及政策制定者提供全面的参考。对这些出版物的分析导致了 84 个物种的综合清单的整理，此处提供了相同的清单。还包括对印度在国家层面的保护工作和支持性政策框架的简要说明。本汇编旨在为初学者、研究人员、环保主义者、林务员、制药专业人士以及政策制定者提供全面的参考。对这些出版物的分析导致了 84 个物种的综合清单的整理，此处提供了相同的清单。还包括对印度在国家层面的保护工作和支持性政策框架的简要说明。本汇编旨在为初学者、研究人员、环保主义者、林务员、制药专业人士以及政策制定者提供全面的参考。
