This paper embodies the ecological observations made along the exposed riverbeds and the immediate banks of the rivers Jamuna and Ganga at Allahabad during thé months of April to June in 1962 and 1963.

The physical features, climate and soil of the area are discussed.

Botanical composition of the vegetation and the relative abundance, preference for habitat, types, and phenology of the important species are given.
