Based on our decade-long experience of working in this region, we discuss below two main challenges in collection-based floristic and taxonomic studies: 1) access to study areas and associated logistic challenges, and 2) safety in the field.

) and they represent a valuable practice in conserving biodiversity, where local communities preserve a specific site untouched out of reverence for religious or cultural reasons. This conservation method is essential in protecting threatened flora and fauna from extinction as well as preserving socio-ecologically important species. While it is possible to access most sacred groves via research permits from the indigenous guardian communities, collecting samples within the groves is restricted. This presents a significant challenge in identifying species from these sacred groves since voucher collections from these locations are prohibited.

Other logistic challenges include scarcity of paid accommodations and access to basic amenities such as electricity for drying herbarium specimens. The high humidity in this region makes it difficult to dry specimens, especially in areas like Cherrapunji,

). With the region’s needs to focus on development, it is very critical to take active measures in documenting the biodiversity present in this area. Our discovery of six new species highlights the importance of documenting and preserving the flora of this biodiverse region. Here, we have briefly discussed the research challenges in this region to highlight and emphasize the need for an active dialogue towards building local facilities for taxonomic studies such as botanical gardens, herbaria, and tissue collections. Based on our studies in the northeast region we suggest that a collective effort from local communities, researchers, taxonomists, forestry personnel, and policymakers are the need of the hour in order to mitigate biodiversity loss in this region.
