Abstract (AB)193 plants from 65 different families have been identified on Rodrigues Island as having a therapeutic value. The botanical description, the local and geographic distribution as well as the origin of each plant species entering the traditional pharmacopeia are reported. As far as possible, the phytochemical composition as well as the pharmacological properties, as reported in the literature, for each species are given in the text. Finally a comparative study on the use of these plants in Rodrigues, with those existing in the other island states of the Indian Ocean has also been carried out.
