As a biodiversity hotspot covering only 7.7% of the country, Northeast India is home to approximately 50% of India's plant species, many of which are endemic. The region's diverse ecosystems, ranging from tropical rainforests to alpine scrubs, support a wide variety of flora and fauna. The monograph emphasizes the unique cultural heritage and traditional practices of the eight northeastern states, i.e., Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, and Meghalaya, showcasing the integration of indigenous knowledge in sustainable agriculture and herbal medicine. Focusing on Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim, it details the geography, culture, and medicinal flora, including local names and therapeutic uses of various plants. As a vital resource for students and researchers, it aims to preserve the region's medicinal heritage.
