COMPLETED PROJECTS:

1. STUDIES ON RUSSULALES OF SIKKIM HIMALAYA: PART I – WEST DISTRICT (2008-2011): A total of 42 spp. of mushrooms under two families (Russulaceae and Hericiaceae) were documented. While dealing this work eight new species, 11 new records for India were described.

2. STUDIES ON WILD MUSHROOMS OF NORTH SIKKIM (2011-2014): A total of 110 spp. of wild mushrooms belonging to 25 families and 50 genera were documented. While dealing this work 19 novel species were described.

3. STUDIES ON WILD MUSHROOMS OF EAST AND SOUTH SIKKIM (EXCEPT AGARICACEAE, HYGROPHORACEAE, BOLETACEAE, SUILLACEAE AND CANTHARELLACEAE) (2014-2018): While working on this project 28 new species under 10 genera were discovered.

COMPLETED PROJECTS:

1. Completed an Annual action plan project titled “Floristic diversity of Great Indian Bustard Wildlife Sanctuary, Maharashtra” during 2010-2013. A total of 434 plant species were documented from this semi-arid grassland habitat. 

2. Completed an Annual action plan project titled “Floristic diversity of BRT Wildlife Sanctuary (Tiger Reserve), Karnataka” during 2013-2018. A total of 1350 plant species were documented. Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino (Cucurbitaceae) and Habenaria sahyadrica K.M.P.Kumar, Nirmesh, V.B.Sreek. & Kumar (Orchidaceae) collected from this sanctuary formed new distributional records for Karnataka. Vanilla walkerae Wight, an orchid species was rediscovered after a lapse of 110 years. Xenikophyton Garay, an endemic orchid genus of peninsular India, after critical study was merged under the genus Schoenorchis Reinw. ex Blume.
