The author had collected information on many lesser known leafy and other edible plants used by the local tribal communities of N.E. India and compiled it in the form of a Status Report of Leafy and Edible Plants of North East India . He claims to have seen many of these plants in the local markets of North Eastern States. Most of these plants are collected by the locals from the wild and are lesser known outside the region. The author had compiled information on 278 plant species of edible-leafy and other edibles (roots, rhizome, fruits, nuts or young fonds) with finer details. All such plants are excellent candidates for developing valuable functional foods, nutraceuticals or providing valuable chemicals or genes of economic or other interests. The author, who spent a good part of his life in this region was able to observe and interact closely with the local communities. The report compiled by him is, therefore original, authentic and authoritative. This book will serve as an excellent reference source for researchers and well as for those engaged in conservation, bioprospecting and sustainable utilization of biodiversity.
