| Research Abstract |
This study described the relationship between paddy field vegetation and local people in Laos, where agricultural chemicals and fertilizer are little applied. Although a variety of plants including rare species such as Drosera indica were recorded, there were few weed species competing with the growth of rice plant in paddy fields. Among 125 wild edible plants sold at markets in Laos, 20 species were collected from paddy fields. Oenanthe javanica and Gnaphalium affine, known as "the seven spring herbs" in Japan, were distributed in wide region from Eastern Himalaya to Japan. These findings have much implication on the environmental conservation in and around human settlements.
