Bibliographical Review on the Botanical Studies in Tripura

This paper "Bibliographical Review on the Botanical studies in Tripura" presents most probably all the literature that refers to the plan life in Tripura. No work of any appreciable size was ever published on any aspect of plants in this territory. In absence of such a work the author had to go through the chronological narratives on the rulers of the land, historical accounts, administrative reports, and litirary publications on Tripura for materials on botanical aspects. Such a search resulted in finding out several interesting records of Tripura plants. All these isolated references, however trivial may be, have been referred to in this paper. The views expressed by the author in course of the review of references, are based on his constant field and herbarium study on the vegetation and flora of Tripura for five years. For this reason he could not agree with the views expressed by the casual observers on the vegetation of Tripura.
