Description

Medicinal grasses of India, Volume 1, was conceptualized in 2009 when first time, I visited to Similipal Biosphere Reserve, Odisha, India. I observed that local communities are using grasses for medicinal purposes and thought to document them. This book attempts to provide an insight into the profile of some common medicinal grasses of India. The book will be helpful in identifying them in the field and will aid in their conservation plan and sustainable utilization. I would like to thank my co-authors for providing information on the medicinal grasses of their areas. I am also thankful to the tribal communities, members of social networks related to grasses, and team members of APRF, Odisha.
