The paper presents the distribution and relative abundance of 123 taxa including 118 species belonging to 47 genera of the family Rubiaceae in Assam and North East Frontier Agency. The family is best represented in the tropical and subtropical evergreen and semievergreen forests, comparatively less abundant in deciduous forests and gressland vegetation, most poorly represented in temperate altitudes and altogether absent from subalpine and alpine situations. Hedyotis macrophylla Wall., Ixora finlaysoniana Wall. ex G. Don and Borreria ocymoides DC. have turned. up as new records for Eastern India. Similarly, Nauclea gageana King and Ophiorrhiza caudipetala C. B. Clarke not recorded by Hooker (1880, 1881), Cooke (1904), Gamble (1921), Haines (1922), Mooney (1950) and Kanjilal et al. (1939) in their respective floras, have also been collected from this area. The specie of economic importance have also been listed under different categories on the basis of utility.Full Text

The paper presents the distribution and relative abundance of 167 taxa belonging to 47 genera of the Compositae in Assam and North East Frontier Agency. The family is best represented in the tropical evergreen and semi-evergreen and again, in subtropical pine and mixed forests; it is much less abundant in temperate altitudes, very rarely extending up to sub-alpine zone in NEFA. Of the species enumerated, the number of species found common to other countries are indicated against each: Burma (45), Malaya (16), Java (25), China (25), Japan (24), Ceylon (21), Philippines (7), Africa (17), Australia (5), Europe (5) and America (5).
Ambrosia artemisiifolia Linn., Eupatorium trapezoideum Kunth, Erigeron annuus Pers. and Petasites albus Gaertn. appear to be new records of species for India. On the other hand, these species viz. Ainsliaea angustifolia Hook. f. & Thom., Brachycome assamica Clarke, Cnicus griffithii Hook. f., Inula kalapani Clarke etc. appear to be endemic to Assam and NEFA.
