RESUMO
A survey was carried out in the years 2004 and 2006, in Ramgarh Upazila of Khagrachhari District in Bangladesh to record - the medicinal plants of that area and their uses. During this work, 85 species representing 77 genera were found, which are used by Marma, Tippara and Chakma ethnic people and Bengalis living there for the treatment of 60 diseases. Botanical and tribal names of the plants, parts used as medicine and diseases to'be treated with each plant have been presented. The major threats to the medicinal plants have been identified and a number of recommendations have also been made for the sustainable use and conservation of those plants

The composition of the inflorescence and leaf essential oil of Anisomeles indica [L] O. Ktze. from Bangladesh was examined by GC-MS. Seventy-six components were identified in Inflorescence oil and 52 components were identified in leaf oil, accounting for 98.6% and 98.96% of the total yields, respectively. The main component in inflorescence oil was citronellyl propionate [16.12%]; citronellyl epoxide [13.71%]; [+] agathadiop [9.59%] and pinol D [7.58%]. On the other hand, leaf oil contained caryophyllene [62.52%], cadina, 1, 4-diene [5.50%] and triethanol amine [5.14%]. The composition of both oils varied qualitatively and quantitatively

The main components in leaf oil were terpinolene [33.03%]. beta-pinene [8.23%], 8-cadinol [6.86%], y-elemene [4.90%], cedren-13-ol, 8-[4.77%], [+]-cyclosativene [3.43%] and nerolidyl acetate [3.15%]. The compositions of both oils varied qualitatively and quantitatively
