Although one does not find an abundance of flora and fauna in Kumaon, they are remarkable for their sheer variety. The biological diversity is very important in many respects. One finds the Haldu (Adina cordifolia), Khair (Acacia catechu) Sagon/teak (Tectona grandis), Sal (Shorea robusta), Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo) and Poplar (Populus deltoides) trees in the Tarai - Bhabar region.
The Lesser Himalya is full of the Chir and blue pine (Pinus roxburghii, P. wallichiana), Banj (Quercus leucotrichophora), Tilonj (Q.dilatata), Kharsu (Q. semecarpifolia), Utis (Alnus nepalensis ), Deodar (Cedrus polycarpos) etc. belong to sub Alpine and Alpine zones. There are at least a dozen varieties of the rhododendrons blooming in Kumaon.
Species which have come from outside e.g. Eucalyptus and the Kuri (Lantana camara) have now become a part of Kumaoni flora. |
