The present paper deals with the vascular plants collected from Champaran District, North Bihar, deposited in the Central National Herbarium (CAL). The work presented here does not purport to be a complete one. A Flora of North Bihar could be attempted on the basis of a lot of more field works in due course.

The enumeration includes 552 species, 16 varieties under 362 genera and 84 families. The leading families are Leguminosae with 61 species and 4 varieties, Gramineae with 55 species and 1 variety, followed by Cyperaceae with 30 species, Euphorbiaceae with 29 species and 1 variety and Compositae with 26 species respectively. The arrangement of families and genera is according to that of G. Bentham & J. D. Hooker in Genera Plantarum (1862-1883) and the sequence of specific and infraspecific taxa is according to the arrangement in J. D. Hooker's The Flora of British India (1872-1897). The nomenclature has been checked and revised wherever necessary.
