Comparative Account of Two High Value Species of Himalayas: Angelica glauca Edgew. and Angelica archangelica Linn.

On the basis of secondary information and primary survey of prospective sites , a comparative account on distribution , status , habitat specificity , morphology , ethonobotanical uses , active principle and threats to the two high value species of the Himalaya , Angelica glauca Edgew. and Angelica archangelica Linn. Is described. Quantification of the species , biology of the species , regular monitoring of the populations and development of propagation protocols is required for in-situ and ex-situ conservation. Further ex-situ conservation of the species can prove beneficial in economic upliftment of the inhabitants and reducing pressure on the natural population of the species.
