Plants of Bihar
Sir J.D. Hooker (1848) was the first Botanist to study the flora of Parasnath hills, Bihar. It was in 1921-1925, when Mr. H. H. Haines did a pioneering work by
publishing monumental work entitled “The Botany of Bihar and Orissa”. Forest Research
Institute is fortunate that Mr. Haines served as a Forest Botanist during 1906-1907 in the
then Imperial Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun. After Haines’ work no
comprehensive work has been published on flora of present Bihar State.
Bihar is one of the state of india with rich floristic diversity.
Till date no work has been carried out for the assessment of quantitative status of
different plant species in the region. It is first time in the district that quantitative
assessment of vegetation is done. Authentic identification and latest nomenclature of
species for biodiversity assessment of the area have been provided. Photographs have
also been provided for each species for easy identification. Medicinal plant wealth of the
district has also been explored and illustrated in the report. It gives me immense pleasure
in writing the foreword of this study. The authors deserve accolades for bringing out this
comprehensive report.
The study will be extremely useful for the Officers and Field Staff of Bihar Forest
Department for easy identification of plant species and assessing their quantitative status
in the state. It may also be an important document for preparation of future working plan
for the forest division as well as formulating strategies for conservation and judicious
utilization of the floristic resources
These are just a few examples of the plants found in Bihar. The state has a rich flora and fauna, and its varied landscape provides habitats for a wide range of plant species.
