It is also reported from North-East India but no specimens, or listing in the Floras, were found, and its presence there remains uncertain.

Total Population Size Minimum Population Size: Maximum Population Size: Habitat and Ecology This climbing shrub or liana is found in forests on lower mountain slopes. System Movement pattern Crop Wild Relative Terrestrial Freshwater Nomadic Congregatory/Dispersive Is the species a wild relative of a crop? Marine Migratory Altitudinally migrant Growth From Definition Shrub - size Perennial shrub (any size), also termed a Phanerophyte if >1m or a Chamaephyte if <1m Vines Vines, lianas and creepers Threats The forest habitat of this species faces threats, mainly from conversion for agricultural purposes. For example the tropical seasonal rainforest in southern Yunnan decreased from a cover of 10.9% of the total area of the region in 1976 down to 3.6% in 2003, mainly due to rubber planting (Zhu 2008). Past Present Future 1 Habitat Loss/Degradation (human induced) 1.1 Agriculture 1.3 Extraction 1.3.3 Wood 1.4 Infrastructure development Conservation Measures No specific conservation measures are in place for this species. It was not found in available lists of seed bank or botanic garden species. Further research is needed to establish its habitat status and threats to determine its conservation needs. Surveys are recommended to confirm its current geographical range and population status, as many herbarium specimen records are old. It is likely to benefit from the identification of new, and expansion of existing protected areas. It has been recorded in the Ba Vi area in Vietnam, and the Doi Inthanon area in Thailand, both of which have National Parks.

Possibly Extinct Candidate? Rationale for the Red List Assessment The extent of occurrence (EOO) for this species exceeds the critical threshold. The estimated area of occupancy (AOO) and population are also inferred to exceed the thresholds. It is assessed as Least Concern (LC). However, the forest habitat of this species faces ongoing threats, and research is needed to establish and monitor the current population and habitat status and to confirm the current geographical range.

A sexually dimorphic ungulate of large stature and unique coloration, it is the only species in the genus Boselaphus. It is endemic to peninsular India and small parts of Pakistan and Nepal, has been extirpated from Bangladesh, and has been introduced in the United States (Texas), Mexico, South Africa, and Italy. It prefers open grassland and savannas and locally is a significant agricultural pest in India. It is not of special conservation concern and is well represented in zoos and private collections throughout the world. DOI: 10.1644/813.1.

ABSTRACT Butea monosperma (Family : Fabaceae). This is a moderate sized deciduous tree which is widely distributed throughout India, Burma and Ceylon, popularly known as 'dhak' or 'palas', commonly known as ‘Flame of forest’. The family Fabaceae compromises of 630 genera and 18,000 species . It finds use both medicinally and commercially with each part of the plant having utility. This plant species has been found to display a wide variety of biological activities. The plant is traditionally reported to possess astringent, bitter, alterative, aphrodiasiac, anthelmintic, antibacterial and anti-asthmatic properties . Bark yield red juice known as ‘Butea gum’ or ‘Bengalkino’. Its reported pharmacological properties include anthelmintic, anticonceptive, anticonvulsive, antidiabetic, antidiarrhoeal, antiestrogenic and antifertility,antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, antistress, chemopreventive, haemaggultinating, hepatoprotective, radical scavenging, thyroid inhibitory, antiperoxidative and hypoglycemic effects and wound healing activities. It is powerful astringent and is given in many forms of chronic diarrhoea. Seeds have anthelmintic property especially for roundworms and tapeworms. Flowers yields a brilliant yellow coloring matter due to presence of chalcones. Such herbal medicines may provide potential effect as of compared to the conventional available synthetic drugs, with less or no side effects. Keywords: Butea monosperma, Butin, Palash, dhak.
