Present comprehensive review & field works elucidates the multifaceted significance of medicinal Araceae species in India, encompassing their ethnobotanical, pharmacological, and ecological dimensions. A total of 24 species are systematically examined, highlighting their habit, nutritional value, therapeutic applications, and ecological roles. Our analysis reveals that these species possess diverse bioactive compounds, exhibit a range of medicinal properties, and contribute significantly to ecosystem services. This review underscores the imperative for further phytochemical, pharmacological, and ecological investigations to fully harness the potential of Araceae species, while also emphasizing the need for conservation strategies to safeguard these valuable resources for sustainable utilization.
