Proceedings of Shinshu University International Symposium 2010 “Sustainable Coexistence with Forest - Dietary Usage of Wild Plants and Agriculture in Bhutan -”The Researchers from the Graduate School of Agriculture, Shinshu University in Japan and the Council for Renewable Natural Resources Research in Bhutan initiated a joint research project titled, “Wild Edible Plants of Bhutan” in 2005 with financial support from the Ajinomoto Foundation for Dietary Culture. In 2006 and 2007, the project was extended with a financial support from the Toyota Foundation. The objective of the project is to make the species of edible wild plants resources clear and evaluate their associated traditional knowledge in Bhutan. Three surveys during April 2005, April 2006 and July 2007 at different villages, markets and forests were carried out. A total of 62 edible wild plants belonging to 33 families of Magnoliophyta were determined, out of which 46 species has been identified. A total of 22 edible plants species of Pteridophyta were recorded, out of which 7 species has been identified. Many of these plants are believed to affect human health. For example, the leaves of Nasturium offiicinale and Hemerocallis sp. are believed to improve general condition of the blood, leaves of Mentha species and inflorescence of Girardiana palmate are believed to reduce blood pressure and leaves of Urtica dioia are believed to cure tuberculosis. Some wild plants were commonly used as edible in the surveyed area;Plectocomia himalayana, Elatostema sp., Thlaspi arvense, Cymbiduim sp., Justicia adhatoda, Asparagus racemose, Phytolocca acinosa, Houttuynia cordata, Mentha sp., and Colocasia sp. As one of the outcome of the project a book titled “Edible Wild Plants of Bhutan and Their Associated Traditional Knowledge” was published in 2008 which will be used as a reference for the research and development on natural resources of Bhutan in the future.
