Rhododendrons of Eastern Himalayas under Threat

Though home to 97 per cent of the Rhododendron species and sub-species in the country, indiscriminate felling and loss of habitat in the north-eastern states has left many of these flowering plants vulnerable to extinction. A recent publication, Rhododendron of North East India: Pictorial Handbook, by scientists of the Botanical Survey of India has documented and stressed the need to protect the many unique varieties of Rhododendron found in the region, with 18 species endemic to India. The publication points out that studies and records suggest that there are 132 taxa (80 species, 25 sub species, and 27 varieties) of Rhododendron found in India, of which 129 are found in the north-eastern India alone.
