Notes on the Flora of Alwar - Northeast Rajasthan

Abstract

Statistico-Biological notes on the flora of Alwar comprises the subject of this investigation. Location, topography and environmental complex affecting the vegetation is outlined. Characteristic plants of different habitats have been given. 444 indigenous plants belonging to 292 genera and 84 families have been discussed. The data show a great poverty of monacots and a very poor proportion of species to genera. A comparative study reveals that though this area resembles other investigated areas of Eastern and Western Rajasthan yet it is more complex and approaches that of Mount Abu-the highest peak of Aravalli ranges.
