This survey has been concerted on the valuation of ethno medicinal attribute of 45 ethnomedicianal plants and antifungal effects of 8 most popular plants in practice by the people of Tanawal, Pakistan. As so far there is no data regarding this aspect about Tanawal area of Himalayas. Questionnaire was developed to interview of locals of different age belonging to different cultural groups regarding ethno botanical information through conversation. Photography of plants has been done for easy identification and to show real habitat and on the basis of highest U.V the Antifungal activity was conducted against Fusarium and Helminthosporium. The agar tube dilution method was used for antifungal activity of extracts as reported by Choudhary et al. Test samples (methanolic extract, Ethanolic and n-Hexane) for antifungal assay were prepared from stock solution (20mg/1ml DMSO). Media for fungus was prepared by dissolving SDA (MERCK) (6.5 g/100 ml) in distilled water. The people employed leaves, whole fresh herb and flowers in most of their recipes. Healers mostly treat gastrointestinal ailments using herbs. The extracts of Olea ferruginea L., Schinus molle L., Nerium oleander L. were vigorous against tested fungal strains (22.3, 20.5, 19.8 zone of fungal growth) while Celtis australis L. Zizyphus nummularia also shown the remarkable activity. Thus all species are of having great ethno medicinally significance and popular among the area and exhibit a great potency to show the antifungal activities (39--19.8 cm) in them.
