Total 265 economically important species belonging to 81 families and 211 genera includes 78 species of trees, 46 shrubs and 141 herbs were records. The dominant families were Poaceae (20 species); Fabaceae (18 species) and Asteraceae (14 species). Twenty eight (28) families were monotypic. The inhabitants use these species as medicine (210 species), wild edible/food (109 species), fodder (88 species), fuel (42 species) for religious purpose (23 species), making agricultural tools (6 species), timber (12 species) and miscellaneous (12 spp). It was found that out of 265 economically important species recorded, 26 were found to be native to the Himalayan region, 10 species native to the Himalayan region and adjacent countries and states, 243 species were non-natives. Out of the total recorded species, one species has been categorized as critically endangered, four ...

It is known to contain iridoid glycosides (picrotin and picrotoxin) which are found responsible for the medicinal effects of Kutki. This study addresses variability at active ingredients level among populations of rhizomes of Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex Benth growing at two different altitudes of Garhwal Himalayas. The plants were collected from two different altitudes, viz. Tungnath (3600 m) and Pothivasa (2200 m) in Rudraprayag district of Garhwal Himalaya, Uttarakhand, India, and analyzed by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography). A considerable degree of variation in amount of active contents was observed. Picrotin and picrotoxin content was found highest in populations collected from Tungnath compared to Pothivasa suggesting that active content accumulation is directly corr...
