Currently ethnobotany has been a subject of wide interest for research in developing and developed countries. It has also been incorporated as a part of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programmes in several universities in India and several other countries. Many Indian scientific organizations/funding agencies have recognized ethnobiology as an important thrust area under their R&D programmes. Being a tribal dominated country, the scope of this subject becomes much more in India. A large number of ethnobiological aspects have been studied in India during the last five decades, including the inventories of a large number of medicinal plants, phytochemical analyses of a good number of species, traditional conservational methods etc. In spite of various studied aspects, still a lacuna was felt regarding emerging and new trends which could provide some new directions to researchers in this subject. The present book is an effort in this direction. The book has been dedicated to the doyen of Indian ethnobiology, Dr. S.K. Jain, FNA, popularly known as 'Father of Indian Ethnobotany'. The book comprises very important articles written by notable ethnobiologists/botanists on different aspects of ethnobotany. Since ethnobotany is considered to be incomplete without knowledge of taxonomy, therefore, some thought provoking articles on taxonomy are also given.
