  • <p><span>This study is an attempt to explore, identify, enumerate, assemble and document the traditional indigenous knowledge of fibre yielding wild plant species available and utilized by the ethnic people in seven tribal mandals of Parvathipuram Manyam and Srikakulam districts of Andhra Pradesh State in India. It reports 40 fibre yielding wild plant species belong to 33 genera of 20 families in which trees represent 37% (15) followed by shrubs 20 % (8) herbs 27% (11), climbers 5% (2) and lianes 2% (1). The availability of fiber is based on the nature of the plant species and the fibre is obtained from different plant parts i.e. stem, bark, leaves, stilt roots fruits and seeds. The study is useful by documenting the available fibre yielding wild plant species in some tribal areas and it suggests the same in every district of any state in any country for future purposes</span></p>
