About the Book
The North-Eastern region of India stands as one of the largest centers of genetic diversity for plants of economic importance. Home to 50% of the species found in the subcontinent, the region is often referred to as the "Cradle of Flowering Plants" due to the presence of numerous primitive flowering plants. Despite its immense botanical wealth, the area remains largely unexplored, with existing information about its plant life being rudimentary and scarce.

This book offers a small yet insightful glimpse into the biodiversity of this region. Sudhir Kumar has carefully compiled valuable details about the plant wealth in the North-East, highlighting the variety of plants with economic and ecological significance. This compendium serves as a useful starting point for anyone interested in exploring the botanical richness of North-Eastern India and offers an essential resource for researchers, botanists, and conservationists.
