Abstract


The vegetation, and flora of Knedbrahma region of north Gujarat are discussed and the preliminary data based on two years survey are presented in this paper. 554 species have been enumerated which comprised 448 dicotyledons and 102 monocotyledons. Two new records for India namely, Desmodium neo-mexicanum A. Gray and Dalechampia scandens Linn. var. cordofana (Hochst.) Muell.-Arg. have been reported from this area under study. Five species such as Polycarpon tetraphyllum Linn., Melhania futteyporensis Munro ex Mast., Indigofera angulosa Edgew., Pulicaria crispa (Forsk.) Oliv. and Operculina petaloidea (Ghoisy) Van Oost., not mentioned in Cooke's flora of Presidency of Bombay (1901-1908) have been reported from the area.
