Himalayan soap pod tree (Gymnocladus assamicus) : an ecologically and economically important tree on the brink of extinction / Dr. Baharul Islam Choudhury, Dr. Mohammed Latif Khan. - 1 online resource (xiii, 173 pages) : illustrations, maps, charts
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Biology, distribution and population status of Gymnocladus assamicus -- Phylogeny and phylogeography of the genus Gymnocladus and its close relatives -- Reproductive ecology of Gymnocladus assamicus -- Seed biology and modes of regeneration -- Seedling dynamics and ecology of Gymnocladus assamicus -- Conservation and management of plant biodiversity in the Eastern Himalayan region with emphasis on soap pod tree (Gymnocladus assamicus).
Access limited to subscribing institution.
The book with six chapters contains detailed information about G. assamicus and discusses its current distribution, population status, ethnobotanical uses and other ecological parameters. Major intrinsic and extrinsic factors that might be responsible for population decline are described. More importantly, the book reported a very rare mating system known as 'androdioecy' in which male and hermaphrodite individuals co-exist in the natural population. Overall, the book highlights the story of a critically endangered tree species with a unique biological and socio-cultural importance and will serve as a case study and reference for other similar species both locally and globally.
