The status and distrubution of Jurinea dolomiaea Boiss. (Dhoop) in different habitats has been assessed using stratified random sampling. Belt transects of 20 × 2 m were laid to quantify the availability of Dhoop. Highest density (27,215 individualslha), frequency (86%) and biomass (1,687 kg/ha) were found in the undulating meadows and least in the rocky habitats, where the density, frequency and biomass were 3,125 individuals/ha, 26% and 193 kg/ha respectively. Patterns and processes of Dhoop extraction by the local people are discussed in the light of conservation implications.

Extensive floristic surveys were carried out at Tungnath area in Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary during 2007-2011. During the survey a total of 433 plant species belonging to 234 genera under 71 families were recorded along the sub-alpine and alpine region (2800-3680m amsl). Of which 349, 42, 18, 13, 5, 6 and species were herbs, shrubs, grasses, trees, sedges and climbers, respectively. Among dicotyledonous families Asteraceae was the largest family represented by 42 species followed by Rosaceae (30 species), Ranunculaceae (25 species), Polygonaceae (24 species), Scrophulariaceae (17 species) and Apiaceae (17 species), whereas Orchidaceae (29 species), Poaceae (19 species) and Liliaceae (13 species) were the major families among the monocotyledons. Some uncommon species viz., Balanophora involucrata, Cypripedium spp., Calanthe manii and Eleutherococcus cissifolius were recorded for the first time from the area. The species categorised under various threat categories (rare, endangered and threatened) e.g., Cyananthus integer, Dactylorhiza hatagirea, Balanophora involucrata, Fritillaria roylei, Jurinea macrocephala were also recorded during the survey.Keywords
