Distribution and conservation of tejpatra - Cinnamomum tamala Nees..

tejpatra :

tejpatra : Cinnamomum tamala Nees & Eberm.


Geographical distribution:

South slopes of the Hima­layas and the moun­tains of North Eastern India, ex­tending into Burma. The main pro­duction areas are Nepal and Sikkim, but most of the harvest comes from wild or half-domesticated trees. 

ECOLOGICAL ASPECT:

C. tamala is found in tropical and sub-tropical Himalayas, Khasi and Jaintia hills and in eastern Bengal, India.

Plant conservation:

Considering the economic potential and dwindling natural populations of C. tamala in several ranges, this species has been recommended for in-situ as well as ex-situ conservation by several authors. However, in the absence of standard agro-techniques and owing to lack of information on seed germination behavior, conservation efforts have not succeeded so far
