Abstract

Aim of the study was to assess the diversity and ground truthing of distribution of family Anacardiaceae in Uttarakhand. In past literature, no precise locality of different species of Anacardiaceae has been mentioned. In the present study, extensive survey was made in the different locations of the Uttarakhand to trace the diversity and distribution of different species of Anacardiaceae. Earlier 16 species from the Uttarakhand have been reported. However, in the present only 12 species belonging to 8 genera species were traced with their exact locations. Out of this, 5 species are present in the plain regions and 7 exist in hilly parts of state. Findings of the study will be of immense use for researchers, students, state forest department officials etc. for tracing locations of the different species of Anacardiaceae for carrying out future research and management work.
