        abstract = {This paper presents the medicinally important macrophytes of Pitkata beel a freshwater flood plain wetland. The Pitkata beel is located in Kamrup district of lower Assam. The Macrophyte community comprised of 25 species belong to19 families. The study showed 12 plant species have medicinal properties namely Acorus calamus L, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms., Hydrilla verticellata (L.F.) Royle., Ipomea aquatic Forssk., Lemna minor L., Ludwigia adscendens L., Mentha aquatica L, Nymphaea stellata, Polygonum amphibium L., Sagittaria sagittifolia L, Trapa bispinosa L, Typha latifolia L, The study indicates the importance of conservations of aquatic vegetation of flood plain wetland in Assam. The conservation efforts of aquatic vegetation will facilitate the conservation of medicinal plants too.},
