Despite numerous explorations and in-depth studies in the Western Himalaya on various themes, many areas still remain under-explored. One such under explored area is Asan conservation reserve. We documented for the first time the diversity of vascular plants of Asan conservation reserve, A first Ramsar site in Uttarakhand, recording the occurrence of 266 species distributed among 214 genera and 80 families within 4 km2 area. Among the enumerated species, 256 are angiosperms and 10 species are Pteridophytes. Of the angiosperms, Fabaceae is the dominant family spanning 22 species followed by Poaceae (18 species), Asteraceae (16 species), and Araceae and Solanaceae consisting of 10 species each. Documenting and understanding this flora is crucial for conservation efforts and scientific exploration. The present study provides an updated checklist of the vascular flora in the Asan Conservation Reserve, throwing light on its botanical richness and ecological significance.

In the East Sikkim district of India, a field survey revealed the presence of 49 distinct bryophyte taxa, with a significant representation from the Pottiaceae, Leucobryaceae, and Grimmiaceae families. Remarkably, this survey contributes 12 taxa as novel records for Sikkim. Among the bryophytes catalogued, 45 belong to the mosses, while four are liverworts, collectively spanning 18 families, which include 15 moss families and three liverwort families. The predominant growth forms observed are characterized by cushions, mats, or turfs, underscoring the adaptability of these bryophytes to diverse substrates and microenvironments. These bryophytes are recognized for their resilience in challenging environmental conditions, making them valuable indicators of extreme climate and the geological composition, including calcium rocks and gneiss, found in the area.

Nahar or Mesua ferrea Linn. (Family Calophyllaceae) is a slow-growing, moderate to large-size evergreen tree species. Arbuscular Mycorrhize (AM) are well-known symbiotic partners that provide specific nutrients thus increase overall plant growth. The present study was undertaken to identify potential AM associates of M. ferrea for enhanced growth and survival. M. ferrea was recorded as a regular mycorrhizal species with high AM diversity at all stages of its lifecycle. Glomus, was the most abundant genus (15 species). The maximum AM species and spores were recorded at seedling stage (31; 96±4.67/100g of soil), while mature trees had the least numbers (11; 80±1.52). Total phosphorus was highest in the rhizosphere soil when number of AM spores was the lowest and root infection percentage was the highest. Glomus constrictum and G. feugianum, recorded with higher density (18.33±3.61and 31.00±7.55 spores/100g of soil respectively) and relative abundance (7.01% and 11.85% respectively), were selected to study their effect on growth and survival of M. ferrea seedlings. G. feugianum was found most suitable species with enhanced height growth (~172%) and seedling survival rate (80%) as compared to G. constrictum, both AM species together and control. Thus, G. feugianum may be used as potential mycorrhizal inoculant for sustainable M. ferrea plantation programme.
Nahar或Mesua ferrea Linn.（石蒜科）是一种生长缓慢、中等至大型的常绿树种。丛枝菌根（AM）是众所周知的共生伙伴，可提供特定养分，从而提高植物的整体生长。本研究旨在确定铁树的潜在 AM 伴生物，以提高其生长和存活率。根据记录，铁线蕨（M. ferrea）是一种常见的菌根物种，在其生命周期的各个阶段都具有很高的 AM 多样性。Glomus 是数量最多的菌属（15 种）。幼苗阶段记录到的 AM 种类和孢子最多（31；96±4.67/100 克土壤），而成龄树的数量最少（11；80±1.52）。根瘤土壤中总磷最高，而 AM 孢子数量最少，根部感染率最高。研究人员选择了密度（分别为 18.33±3.61 和 31.00±7.55 个孢子/100 克土壤）和相对丰度（分别为 7.01% 和 11.85%）较高的 Glomus constrictum 和 G. feugianum 来研究它们对阿魏幼苗生长和存活的影响。结果表明，G. feugianum 是最合适的物种，与 G. constrictum、两种 AM 物种和对照相比，其高度增长（约 172%）和幼苗成活率（80%）均有所提高。因此，G. feugianum 可作为潜在的菌根接种剂，用于阿魏的可持续种植计划。

The aim of present investigation was to carry out the presence of bioactive compounds found in methanolic extract of a leafy liverwort, Plagiochila asplenioides (L.) Dumort. of the family Plagiochilaceae of Marchantiophyta using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). By comparing the retention time and peak area, 16 major phytochemical compounds were identified. Out of which, Azulene, Phytol, Globulol, L (+)-Ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate, and Ethyl iso-allocholate were found to be biologically active. The methanolic extract of P. asplenioides prevails potentially bioactive chemicals that may be significant for phyto-pharmaceutical purposes. The phytochemical characterization of P. asplenioides collected from the Kumaun region of Western Himalayas is being presented for the first time. Future research on compound characteristics, however, will provide invaluable information for developing new drugs.

The state of Uttarakhand has about 4800 species under 213 families, which is about 22 per cent of the total Indian Flora. Most updated information on the floristic account of Uttarakhand is available in a checklist, which includes both wild and cultivated plants, but, without any precise locality. During a floristic survey of Uttarakhand and scrutiny of herbarium specimens, the distribution of twenty-nine species was studied, among them three species, viz., Acacia leucophleoa (Roxb.) Willd., Cordia macleodii (Griff.) Hook.f. & Thoms., and Syzygium heyneanum (Duthie) Wall. ex Gamble have been recorded for the first time in Uttarakhand. Dalbergia latifolia Roxb., so far known under cultivation, is now recorded from Chandi Devi area. Other twenty-three species are rare and restricted in distribution. Localities and a note on each species have been provided. All the species except Acacia leucophloea (Roxb.) Willd. and Acacia modesta Wall., are placed according to current nomenclature (POWO).
