| Popis: | Musa flaviflora Simmonds, a kind of typical species of banana grows wildly in North East Region of Assam. This species of Musa is confined only a few pockets of North East Region of India including Eastern part of Assam with a poor population size. Therefore, conservation of this plant through proper scientific investigation is urgently needed. The present study was conducted to find out the habited status of this species through ecological niche modelling (ENM), which helps to conserve this plant with proper scientific investigation in future. On the other hand, though earlier worker does the taxonomy of this species, it is not clear. So, in this present investigation a detailed taxonomic description of Musa flaviflora with its predicted location was find out through ecological niche modelling (ENM) for improving the conservation status of the species. |
