The paper enumerates 95 plant species of medicinal importance used by the inhabitants of the villages around the Changthang plateau of Ladakh Union Territory, India. Leaves (27 spp.), shoots (23 spp.), flowers and root (19 spp., each) were utilized in majority cases. Maximum species were used for gastrointestinal diseases followed by cold, cough, flu, fever & headache. Twenty species have been recorded threatened from the Changthang landscape. Habitat degradation, over exploitation and changing environmental conditions have been observed main drivers for decreasing the diversity and populations of medicinal plants in the landscape. Therefore, there is urgent need of formulation of appropriate in-situ and ex-situ conservation and management strategy for preservation of rich medicinal and aromatic plants of the Changthang landscape of the Ladakh Union Territory.

During 2014-2015 one clump of Dendrocalamus giganteus flowered at Garh Mukteshwar Farm, Hapur in Uttar Pradesh, India. Part of the clump flowered during May, 2014 and died in July after yielding little amount of seeds; the remaining part flowered in next year June and died by August 2015 without any seed setting. Past reports and present study showed that occasionally the species also flower completely and die with or without seeds; in some instances, a few flowering clumps rejuvenated to vegetative state. D. giganteus rarely flowered sporadically but not reported gregariously and might have more than one flowering populations (cohorts). A plantation of 165 clumps of D. giganteus was raised through available seedlings and studied their growth performance. The clump height, culm diameter, and number of full grown culms produced per clump in 3rd and 5th year of plantation are presented and discussed. The majority of clumps exhibited satisfactory growth after 5th year of age. No disease and growth abnormalities were noticed in any clumps in the plantation.

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of various grades of Prinsepia utilis (bhekal) seeds on germination and seedlings performance during storage. Freshly collected seeds were grouped into three sub-lots viz. large size seeds (size 10 mm or > 10 mm), medium size seeds (size < 10 mm and > 7 mm), and small size seeds (size < 7 mm) with the help of specified sieves. Seeds of all grades were sown in nursery beds as fresh and after 35 days of storage. Various grades of seeds had shown significant effect on germination percentage as fresh and after 35 days of storage. Large size seeds exhibited significantly higher germination percentage, lower mean germination time, and higher germination values as compared to medium and small size seeds. Only small size seeds significantly exhibited lower germination percentage, higher mean germination time (MGT), and lower germination values as compared to large and medium-size seeds. However, no significant difference was observed in Germination Value (GV) and germination percentage between large and medium size seeds. The large size seeds exhibited a significantly good value of seedling length, the number of leaves, collar diameter, total biomass, vigour index, sturdiness quotient, volume index and quality index as compared to medium and small size seeds.

Amongst the plants which have grasped the aesthete of humans, those categorized within the angiosperm plant family Marantaceae have acquired significance. A list of such plants is being provided along with description for laymen’s ease in identification. Inventorization of further arrowroots and their bio-prospecting will lead to India’s emergence as a key player in horticultural scenario.

A study was undertaken to document supply and value chain of three important medicinal plants Embelia tsjeriam cottam, Celastrus paniculatus and Centratherum anthelminticum. Value chain analysis (VCA) was done from village level, district, regional to national level covering primary producers (n-144), market traders (n-20) and processors. Supply chains for three species were mapped and value chains covering most activities as produce moved across to industries were covered. The study revealed that the three species were mostly extracted from the wild and of these two species Embelia tsjerian-cottam and Celastrus paniculatus were facing depletion. There is an unfair margin to traders, with producers’ shares ranging between 35-50% which is low. Suggestions have been given to mitigate problems in the marketing channel.

The present floristic account of Nandhaur Wildlife Sanctuary (NWS) is mainly concerned with flowering plants and provides first hand comprehensive information. Statistical analysis of the floristic diversity of Nandhaur Wildlife Sanctuary through intensive plant collection revealed that, it is composed of 112 families (Dicots-92 and Monocots-20), 662 species (Dicots-516 and Monocots-146), including infra-specific taxa and also some cultivated species of the angiosperms. The proportion of the dicots and monocots is 3.6: 1, where, Poaceae stands as largest family having 48 genera with 71 spp., followed by Fabaceae with 34 genera and 62 spp. Genus Cyperus with 13 spp. in monocots and Crotalaria with 8 spp. in dicots stand as largest genera in the sanctuary.
