Abstract Arundo donax L. (Giant reed) is a perennial and rhizomatous plant that belongs to the Poaceae family and one of the most widespread species of the genus Arundo. The plant is of general occurrence across the globe. It has been included amongst the worst invasive species of the world because it displaces the native flora and deteriorates the ecological state of lands wherever it grows. The plant also possesses several medicinal properties, and therefore, has traditionally been used by several ethnic groups across the world to cure various ailments. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost 80% of the world’s population relies on indigenousmedicinal plants to cure diseases . With the immense existing potential and rich knowledge about medicinal plants at the ethnic level, the ethnomedicinal system has reinforced the discovery of several therapeutically important drugs such as Quinine and Artemisinin from the Amazon and China, respectively. Thus, the present study aimed to summarize the existing knowledge of ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacological aspects of A. donax L. This research hopefully will provide baseline information for other researchers who intend to work on this plant.
