According to the IUCN Red list of threatened species, a global database of Plant species to track at risk species, Rhynchosia heynei is a herbaceous under shrub, an important, indigenous, threatened forestry species of tribal medicinal plant species belonging to the family Fabaceae. Adivasi tribal people (chenchu, lambada) living in the Eastern Ghats hill ranges have used R. heynei leaves extensively for antibacterial agents, rheumatic aches, arthritis, and skin ailments. The findings could be widely applied in medicinal chemistry and pharmacological analysis to aid in the development of new antibacterial medications. The seeds were ground and cooked, and either the decoctionwas taken as orally or the fresh leaf paste was topically applied to cuts and wounds. In vitro tests of Rhynchosia heynei concentrate revealed antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Terpineol, camphene hydrate, germacrene-D, humulene, linalool, and other important constituents in R. heynei essential oil may be responsible for the plant's medicinal properties.
