Present study deals with distribution, status and conservation of Terminalia coronata (Stapf) Gere & Boatwr. (Syn. Anogeissus sericea var. nummularia King ex Duthie) in India. Terminalia coronata locally known as Indrok/Indroka, is a multipurpose endemic and threatened tree species of fragile and stressed ecosystems of arid and semi-arid regions of north-west India. It has been observed that Indroka mostly prefers to grow in a gregarious form making pure patches in sandy-loam to loamy sand soil of the depressed areas like Naadi (dug out village ponds), Johad (small earthen check dam), valleys or bottom of the hills. Regarding the presence of this tree in Naadi people of Sawant Kua village said the Indroka trees were planted in Naadis because of their fibrous and lateral root system that helps in soil and water conservation. It comes under Indeterminate (I) global threat status of the species as per IUCN (1997), CITES Appendices I and as 'Rare' by Nayar and Sastry (1998), Bhandari (1990), WCMC (1994), IUCN (2002) GEC, MSU and GUIDE (2002). As per IUCN Red List criteria, we have assessed it as Endangered (EN).References
