Forested patches with single tree to diverse forms of flora protected by the local people with some customary myths and taboos associated are called sacred groves (SGs). Removal of biological resources is strictly restricted from these isolated patches and thus SGs are playing a significant role in the conservation of biodiversity. Present communication reports on such sacred groves of Blocks Gangajalghati, Bikna and Onda in Bankura district of West Bengal from where 37 SGs are reported. Altogether, these 37 SGs hold a total of 46 plant species belonging to 24 families with various functional values. Of them, 24 are medicinally important, 13 produce timber, 3 are ornamental trees, 2 shade trees, 9 produce edible fruits, 2 are sacred trees and 20 species belong to the non-timber product (NTP) genre.Keywords

Report of any threatened taxon is important from both taxonomic and conservation point of view. Pterorana khare is a vulnerable species of frog. It has been reported from a few disjunctive pockets of all the North-East India states, except Tripura. Besides, there are single reports of this species from Bangladesh and Myanmar. In Assam, this species was previously reported from Nameri National Park on the north bank of River Brahmaputra, while from the south bank, we are reporting it for the first time, based upon specimens collected from Barail Wildlife Sanctuary.Keywords

The Himalayan Tortoiseshell, Aglais caschmirensis aesis (Fruhstorfer, 1912) is reported for the first time from Meghalaya, North-East India, from a single specimen collected from Nongkhyllem Wildlife Sanctuary. The present paper bridges the existing distribution ‘gap’ of the species to include Meghalaya which is in between Sikkim and Nagaland, besides revising the altitudinal distribution of the species to include a lower elevation.Keywords
