Abstract
Qualitative analysis of 33 mountain tree and shrub species which grow in the Garhwal Himalaya indicated that temperate species are better suited as fuelwood species as they contain high density wood, low ash content and low N-percentage. The fuelwood value index showed that Premna barbata from a tropical area had a high calorific value, low ash content, low nitrogen percentage and thus has the highest value. The most promising species were Pyracantha crenulata, Daphniphyllum himalense, Lyonia ovalifolia, Cotinus coggygria, Cotoneaster affinis and Prunus spp.
