Abstract

Orchids are appreciated worldwide for their unique and beautiful flowers which hold a large commercial and floricultural value. Other than being ornamental, orchids are known to possess medicinal properties as well. Orchidaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants with ~30,000 species reported worldwide. In India, there are over 1000 species of documented orchids and the Northeast region of India is the home to many such orchids. Many of them are rare and endangered species and belong to Appendix I of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). Their existence is highly threatened due to extensive exploitation and habitat destruction and as such their conservation is of utmost importance. One way to conserve such exotic wild species of orchids is through the intervention of biotechnological methods such as tissue culture. The chapter focuses on the up-to-date progress on the propagation and conservation of rare, endemic and endangered important orchids of the Northeast region of India which are of medicinal values. Phytochemicals that have been identified in many of the orchid species are responsible for their therapeutic properties.
