Over a period of nine days (10-18 November, 2013), the authors conducted discussions, fieldwork and interviews with local researchers, forestry officials, village leaders, and farmers in Guwahati City and Karbi Anglong district, in Assam State, Northeast India. Our aims were to determine the potential, feasibility and practical requirements for ethnobotanical field research and plant collection in the region, with particular regard to cultivated aroids and their wild relatives (Colocasia spp., Alocasia spp., and others). The locations, habitats, abundance, vernacular names, and uses of wild and cultivated aroids were noted. We examined a range of environments in and around Guwahati City, Karbi Anglong (a lowmountain district where swidden farming is still practised), and the large island of Majuli (located in the Brahmaputra River).
