The traditional therapeutic applications of plants are best understood through the lens of ethnobotany. There is a substantial amount of information about medicinal plants in India due to the country's great biodiversity and unique cultural past. The research was conducted in Adilabad district during the 2019–2020 academic year. The significance of medicinal plants was assessed using the fidelity level, the use value, and the informant consensus factor. A total of 73 plant species from 61 genera and 29 families were identified as having been utilized for ethnobotanical purposes. Usefulness ranged from a high of 4.0 against jaundice to a low of 1.16 for treating asthma. Rheumatism had the greatest ICF score (1.0), whereas antiseptic had the lowest (0.16).
