Lohit and Tawang Districts of Arunachal Pradesh were surveyed during October 1990 for collection of Saccharum germplasm. Areas around Paye, Hawa Camp and Hayuliang were particularly rich in diversity for Saccharum spontaneum and Erianthus in Lohit district. All morphotypes of S. spontaneum were present in these areas. Erianthus fulvus and Miscanthus nepalensis were extensively distributed in Tawang district. S. spontaneum was sparsely distributed in Tawang.
