Technical strategies based on the natural yield of drug innovation, ethnomedicines and traditional pharmacology is reemerging to caring good base as striking discovery train. The current declined in the number of new molecular entities from the medicinal industry, unique anticancer agents are being required from traditional medicines. According to recently published data, this article reports a detailed review of ethnomedicinally important anticancerous medicinal plants. It
