Abstract
A survey of the Nigerian middle belt (Niger, Kwara, Kogi, Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, and Federal Capital Territory Abuja) vegetation was done to collect information about medicinal plants in the region. More than 100 medicinal plants found in the region were collected, photographed, and identified by two botanists in the herbarium of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. This album includes details of the plant species such as the families, botanical and common names, medicinal uses, part(s) used, mode of preparations of herbal formula, and toxicity.
