Ethnobotany . Biofunctional Potential of Schleichera oleosa (Lour.) Oken. Many of the plant species play a crucial role in nature for nutrition, food and ecological security but still they are neglected and underutilized. Schleichera oleosa (Lour.) Oken is one of the underutilized plant of the North Eastern U.P., commonly known as Kusum, belongs to family Sapindaceae.
