FIELD OF SPECIALIZATION: Floristic, Taxonomy
SPECIAL INTEREST: General Floristic
PRESENTLY WORKING ON FAMILY / TRIBE / GENUS OR FLORA OF (AREA):
a. Flora of India-family –working on Xyridaceae, Typhaceae and Ruppiaceae
b. Flora of Neora Valley National Park (2016-2021):
Neora Valley National Park (NVNP) falls within the Darjeeling Himalaya and was established in 1986 for in-situ conservation of area rich in high diversity of floristic elements with considerable numbers of endemic plants. The varied climatic conditions from tropical to temperate and altitudinal variation have rewarded the NVNP with luxuriant forests of Eastern Himalayan regions. It lies between 26°52'3''-27°7'3'' N latitude and 88°45'-88°50' E longitude. It covers an area of 159.9 km2 of hilly terrain and has an elevation ranging from 300m to 3100m.
During 2016-2019, eight field tours were undertaken. 1092 field numbers were collected and of which 953 field numbers have been identified. GPS data and photographs of each plant are taken and waypoints of collection site indicated in map. Four rare species (Cardamine circaeoides Hook. f. & Thomson; Codonopsis gracilis Hook.f. & Thomson; Synotis rufinervis (DC.) C. Jeffrey & Y.L. Chen and Synotis vagans (Wall. ex DC.) C. Jeffrey & Y.L. Chen.) reported as new records for the state flora; one curious rare root parasite (Rhopalocnemis phalloides Jungh.) reported; Epipogium japonicum Makino reported as new to India and Oreorchis patens Lindley as an addition to the flora of Eastern Indian Himalaya.
