Hastividyarnava sarasamgraha in the perspective of plant invasion in India
Authors

Abstract
Tracing man-plant relationships in the context of animals particularly gleaned from ancient written scripts has been largely overlooked. This negligence is more severe when the scripts are written in local languages. The present is an attempt to investigate ‘Hastividyarnava Sarasamgraha’ written in old Assamese (Kamrupi) vocabularies in Assamese characters by Barkaith in 1734 (or Saka 1656). The script exclusively contained medicament extended for healthcare of elephants. The present authors particularly paid attention to plant invasion tracing biogeographical regions of the 19 exotic plant species belonging to 18 genera 17 angiospermic families. The importance of tapping the literary source in ethnomedicinal investigation coupled with a focus on plant invasion in India is clearly spelt out.
