Plants become of conservation concern when they suffer a population decline. This decline in population may be due to several factors namely:

(1) destruction and fragmentation of natural habitat
(2) Over-harvesting of specific species

Under the above circumstances, species that could be particularly vulnerable to declining could be 

(a) endemics
(b) species in all India trade
(c) species of phylogenetic distinctiveness

This website therefore profiles the medicinal plants of India that are in all India trade with tags on those that are endemic and those that have a phylogenetic distinctiveness.

Tags have also been given to plants notified under CITES, plants notified under negative list by the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India and plants that have been assigned an IUCN threat status.
