“…During the field surveys, threats operating including extraction of the species for medicine, encroachment for agriculture, road construction, grazing and tourism-related activities were also noted. The information on germination and growth is based on published literature ( Raina et al, 2003 , Butola and Samant, 2006 , Gujree, 2007 , Tomar et al, 2012 , Dhyani, 2012 , Sourabh et al, 2015 , Bano et al, 2018 , Dhyani et al, 2013 , Dhyani et al, 2018 ). To record the phenological behaviour of the species, individuals of each species were tagged and monitored for sprouting, fruiting, flowering and senescence for a calendar year.…”

During the last few decades, human-driven activities have led to indiscriminate habitat destruction and exploitation of many plant species in Kashmir Himalaya. As a result, many species have become threatened and are struggling for survival. Of particular concern are the endemic and critically endangered species which have the highest risk of the extinction, hence warranting immediate conservation actions. Therefore the current study was carried out to understand the distribution, ecology and conservation implications of the four critically endangered endemic plants of Kashmir Himalaya. Habitat distribution modelling showed that the suitable potential areas for the species occurred from subalpine to alpine meadowlands with an elevational range of 1500–4600 m asl. The output of the MaxEnt model and field surveys have revealed that their highest potential distribution is in Panchari, Khrew, Ramnagar, Pahalgam, Gurez, Sonamarg, Gulmarg and Kishtwar forest ranges. Based on the field explorations and herbarium records, Saussurea costus (Falc.) Lipsch have 27 distribution areas, Gentiana kurroo Royle 18, Lilium polyphyllum D. Don 12 and Aconitum chasmanthum Stapf have 15. Precipitation of the driest month and annual mean temperature played an important role in the distribution of the studied species. The species started their lifecycle with the onset of the spring season, flowered in summer, fruit in autumn and senesce in the winter season. Under natural conditions, the number of days required for germination ranged from 180 to 210 where cold stratification played a pivotal role. Since last few decades, the populations of these species have been shrinking in their natural habitats due to over-exploitation for medicinal purposes and habitat destruction through amplified humanoid interferences like the expansion of agricultural land, road building, grazing and urbanization. Thus there is an urgent need to come up with positive strategies to save whatever is left and plan long term rescue measures not only to protect these species from extinction but also to reintroduce them along with framing the plans to supply sustained raw materials for medicine.

Asthma is generally a long-standing inflammation of airways. This constantly recurring inflammation is basically analogous to airways with hyper-activity i.e, overemphasized airways. The review paper was based on the plants possessing anti-asthmatic potentials with the aim of centralizing the ailment of asthma. The literature was extensively searched through various scientific and reputed platforms i.e., Scopus, PubMed, Google scholar etc. The asthma has become the most common ailment; and is spreading at a very rapid pace. Almost, most of the population has become engrossed in this disease. So, the motto of this paper is to decipher more information regarding the asthma as well as focusing on the utilization of more and more herbal products in place of synthetic medications. It deals with complete study about plants like Grewia asiatica, Dactylorhiza hatagirea, Lilium candidum, Lilium Polyphyllum possessing anti-asthmatic properties. It laid upon the isolation of active chemical constituents from such plants and recognizing the key element that possess the pharmacological activity of anti-asthmatic agent. It suggests for future researchers as a boon targeting their research in the cognizance of recognizing the treatment for asthma.

“…Distribution of the species is restricted to the Himalayan region and it is sparsely distributed from Afghanistan to North-West Himalaya in India. In the Indian Himalaya, the species is surviving with a few populations in Himachal Pradesh (Pulga-Kullu, Dhauladhar and Shimla), Jammu and Kashmir (Chatru and Doda) and Uttarakhand (Chakisain, GargiaPithoragarh, Chakrata, Raithal Harsil, Gangotri, Valley of Flowers, Kaddukhal and Dhanaulti) [1][2][3][4][5][6] . Bulbs are used for the preparation of various traditional and modern medicines and have an increasing demand in traditional and pharmaceutical industry.…”
