Abstract/Description: | The Western Ghats region of Indian subcontinent is one of the main biodiversity hot spots in the world. This region is very rich in diverse edible fruit yielding plant species. The latitudinal position, topography, wide rainfall variation and varied temperature conditions enable inhabitancy of several plant species. The plant diversity of the region may be groups in two categories, the native species and the exotic species naturalized in the region. There are more than 50 native edible fruit species are available in the region. The important species are Garcinia gummigutta, Garcinia morela, Garcinia xanthochymus, Artocarpus heterophyllus Artocarpus hirsutus, Artocarpus laccocha, Carissa carandas, Emblica officinalis, Phyllanthus acidus, Syzygium cuminii , Chrysophyllum roxburghii, Canthium parviflora, Elaeagnus conferta , Elaeagnus latifolia , Securina leucopyrus , Elaeocarpus tuberculatus, Nephelium stipulacum syn.Doratoxylon stipulatum, Flacourtia indica, Flacourtia Montana, Baccouria courtalensis and minor Citrus spp . The majority of these fruits belong to families Apocynaceae, Anacardiaceae. Euphorbiaceae, Moraceae, Sapotaceae,Legominosae and Sapindaceae. The noteworthy exotic naturalized species are Nephelium lappaceum var.lappaceum, Persia americana , Dimocarpus longan , Annona muricata, Citrus reticulata, Litchi chinensis, Garcinia mangotana, Artocarpus altilis , Syzygium sumarangense, Syzygium roseum, Syzygium aqueum , Averhoa carambola, Averhoa bilimbi etc. There is lot of variability in the growth habit, fruiting pattern, yield fruit shape, colour and quality among different collections of these fruits. Some of these fruits were collected and characterized and planted for conservation and utilization in future |
