Abstract

---

Present study was designed to find out the mycorrhizal status of some selected medicinal plants of family Lamiaceae growing in KPK (Khyber Pakhtunkhawa). The mycorrhizal infections were present in all studied species. Typical Arum and Paris type mycorrhiza are recorded for the first time from the family Lamiaceae. The number of studied plants with Arum type was higher than Paris type while two plants were recorded with intermediate type. Variations in the percentage of general VAM infection ranged from 55-100%.
