Detailed Solution

Himalayan Yew is a medical plant. It is found in some parts of Arunachal Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. The chemical compound, taxol, taken from the roots, bark, twigs, and needle of the tree, is one of the best anti-cancer drugs in the world. It has increased the demand for trees. Over-exploitation has led to the drying up of several trees in the forests. Besides being useful in cancer treatment, it is used as traditional medicine. It is presently added to the endangered category by the IUCN.
