Synopsis The book deals with CAMP process viz., Systematic study and status survey; assigning taxa to the Current IUCN Redlist category of threat; and making recommendation for research management activities—all contributing to conservation of 125 threatened strict endemics of one of the recognized centres of plant diversity in the Western Ghats of India. Most of the species treated in the text was hitherto imperfectly or little known. Detailed description with illustrations is provided for each species; also the individual taxon data sheets are based on adequate data gathered from threatened plants and their habitats in terms of conservation techniques. The book is the first of its kind in India, and would provide a model methodology for any Biodiversity Conservation Prioritization Project (BCPP).
