The areas in vicinity of Tuwa village have been intensively explored from 1964-1968. During this period 539 angiosperms were collected of which 409 are dicotyledons and 130 monocotyledons. There are five new records for erstwhile Bombay Presidency and one new species.The vegetation is dominantly a scrub forest type but some components of dry deciduous forests are but rarely met with. A comparison of the flora of the present area is made with that of Pavagadh hill with a view to bring out differences between the two areas which are topographically different.

Abstract


The areas in vicinity of Tuwa village have been intensively explored from 1964-1968. During this period 539 angiosperms were collected of which 409 are dicotyledons and 130 monocotyledons. There are five new records for erstwhile Bombay Presidency and one new species.The vegetation is dominantly a scrub forest type but some components of dry deciduous forests are but rarely met with. A comparison of the flora of the present area is made with that of Pavagadh hill with a view to bring out differences between the two areas which are topographically different.
