It is pointed out that 30 species of Fern and Fern-allies were enumerated by Vasudeva and Bir in 1987, but in the present survey, only 25 species could be located. Thus, 5 species have become extinct. It is pointed out that several other taxa arealso at the verge of extinction. Some possible factors for their extinction are pointed out and some conservational strategies are suggested.

Abstract: Most of the tea gardens in Himachal Pradesh (India) were in dilapidated state due to negligence since decades. In 1983, with the establishment of this lab of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in Palampur, the activities of rejuvenation of the tea industry in Kangra valley were initiated on the basis of intensive extension work and research. As a sequel, the tea production in this state increased by about 2.5 times during the past 15 years. The quality of the tea of this region also distinctly improved along with production. This paper presents a report on the strategies and status of development in these tea gardens.

Abstract: Different morphological characters and chlorophyll content of leaves, at both vegetative and flowering stages are reported for thirty selected small flowered cultivars of chrysanthemum. These have been categorized on the basis of their flower type for the preparation of chrysanthemum check list. This would help in identification of varieties and selection of desirable characters for vaiety.

These are gaining importance in social forestry programmes on account of a) faster growth and short rotation cycles, b) multiple uses, c) capacity to check soil erosion , d) little or no post plantation care, e) development of newer and alternative bamboo products, and f) a source for income generation at the village levels. World 's largest bamboo reserves exist in India with 29 genera spread over a hundred species. However, their over exploitation for use in paper industry and joss sticks has put tremendous pressure on the natural bamboo strands and situation has become quite an alarming one with the lack of organised efforts for bamboo rehabilitation . It is, therefore, imperative for individuals and organizations to not only conserve bamboo resources but also expand the area under bamboo cultivation. The present paper makes an attempt to highlight some of the possible conservation strategies to save this 'green gold ' forests from total annihilation.
