ABSTRACT BACKGROUND OF THE WORK: This paper represents the records of the quantitative data regarding the wetland medicinal plants used by the local Meitei community of Bishnupur district. Quantitative indices such as use value (UV), Informant consensus factor (FIC), and fidelity level (FL) were used to understand the preferences and consensus existing among the informants regarding the wetland medicinal plants used. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 230 informants (135 males, 85 females) and 10 key informants who have traditional medicinal knowledge of the plants were selected for data analysis. Data collection and data analysis were done through frequent survey programs based on open-ended and semi-structured questionnaires. RESULTS: The study reveals that overall, 18 ailments categories were being treated with a total of 56 wetland medicinal plant species belonging to 50 genera that are distributed over 28 families. It was found that the Asteraceae family was the most dominant among all other families followed by Poaceae and Amaranthaceae. The informant consensus factor (Fic) for skeleton muscular system disorder (SMSD) was found to be the highest among all the ailment categories with a value of 0.86 followed by endocrinal disorder (ED) with a value of 0.82 and respiratory system disorder (RSD) with a value of 0.81. The Highest fidelity level was found in Helichrysum luteoalbum (L.) Rchb. with a value of 89 % which was included in the skeleton muscular disorder ailment category. Maximum FL determines high preference and potential of healing among the informant for treating a particular ailment. CONCLUSION: The wetland medicinal plants with the highest fidelity level (FL), use value (UV), and high informant consensus factor (FIC) from the present study indicate the possibilities of occurrence of the high rate of potential phytochemical compounds to carry out pharmacological and biochemical assay which could be led to the discovery of new drugs for the future.
