Bodo community of Kokrajhar, of BTAD, Assam for the treatment of Stomach disorders. 50 villages were visited randomly. A total of 200 informants were interviewed, among which 94 were male and 106 were female. The study recorded the uses of 31 plant species belonging to 27
families and 30 genera. Among 31 plant species, 26 were dicots and the remaining 5 are Monocots
Details of the method of Pila preparation and the future prospect of this popular food-additive and its marketability also has been discussed.
antidote to snake bites and insect stings.

Sterculia khasiana Debb. ex Biswas, Mansonia dipikae Purkay. and Sterculia striatiflora Mast. are endemic to India and adjoining areas are naturally growing in this region. Some economically important species including medicinal plants, horticultural and potential ornamental species of this family have been mentioned. Conservation of vegetation in this species rich region against threats from intolerable pressure of development, needs to be solved through the formulation and execution of suitable strategies. A key to the genera and key to the species have been added based on morphological characters for easy identification of these plants.
as a customary landmark of preserving and interpreting the culturally rooted past of the Purul people (Hiimai) amongst the Poumai Naga community. Paoki in Poula (Paddy plantation) festival is a three-day (Ranaiyu, Thaopaiyu and Khanaiyu) long celebration in the month of May wherein only the king of the village advocates the day and date of the festival following Poumai’s traditional lunar calendar in reverse order. The villagers undergo a ponderous sequence of preparation with rituals and careful observation of the interaction between living beings and natural processes within an ecosystem to achieve the success of the festival. The abundant source of water helps to grow huge amount of fishes with distinct taste. The paper discussed different events of the festival along with their social and ecological implications
Some special techniques like colour preservation in herbarium- specimens and the digitization of herbariums are also discussed with details of some easily applicable methods.
Herbaria round the world are recording the planet’s plant diversity and the people of future generations will be enriched about the lost plants of the world as the rate of extinction of species is increasing very fast.
