Abstract
Sacred and religious places in Khandesh region of Maharashtra (India) are botanised from status of floral elements and ethnobotanical standpoint. This paper particularly emphasized exotic plant species in these places. Total 53 exotic plant species pertaining to 41 genera and 32 families of angiosperms are documented. Their importance in view of native utilities such as ethnomedicine, ornamental, edibles, cosmetics and other miscellaneous use-reports is limelighted. The exotic elements belong to both Old and New Worlds and substantially added sources for human sustenance. These sacred and religious places help conserve the alien plant species and even enrich our traditional knowledge.
