One of the rarest variety of oranges have been found in Tamenglong district. There is no report of the growth of Indian Wild Orange anywhere in the world except the Nokrek Biosphere Reserve in the Garo Hills of Meghalaya.
The team held a biodi-versity assessment and re- search programme at the village from May 5 to 11. It was during this programme that the team came across Wild Indian Orange.
The Wild Indian Orange plant known as Biurengthai to Dailong villagers was first seen by Ahun Pamei, Himkamang Gonmei and Khonachand, Birjit said.
