From the Palnad basin in the north to the Tirupati hills in the south the Nallamalais run a distance of 430 km with an average width of 30 km. Five botanical tours were conducted in these regions during the period from 1963 to 1965. Out of 977 numbers collected, 908 numbers ranging over 596 taxa have been confirmed.
