Title: Floral Diversity of India’s North Eastern Region
The ecological or ecosystem diversity of the country is enormous, ranging from
sea level to the highest mountainous ranges in the world; hot and arid conditions
in the northwest to cold arid conditions in the trans-Himalayan region; tropical
wet evergreen forests in Northeast India and the Western Ghats; mangroves of
Sundarbans and fresh water aquatic to marine ecosystems.
 India has 12 biogeographical provinces, 5 biomes and 3 bioregion domains
 One of the 17 megadiversity countries in the world,
 Floral diversity in India is majorly concentrated in the 4 biodiversity
hotspots, namely
 Eastern Himalayas
 Western Ghats (and Sri Lanka)
 Northeast India and Andaman Islands (Indo-Burma) and
 Nicobar Island (Sundaland)
Ecological diversity in India:
India has 12 biogeographical provinces, 5 biomes and 3 bioregion domains (Cox
& Moore, 1993). The country supports a diverse array of habitats or ecosystems
such as forests, grasslands, wetlands, coastal, marine and desert and each with
rich and unique floristic diversity. Forests, grasslands, wetlands, coastal and
marine and desert are the major ecosystems in India. It harbours a total of 47,513
plant species
