A detailed study of the flora of Singampatti Reserve Forest has not been made so far and four seasonal exploration trips were made for the collection of plants in the year 1957-58.The vegetation of this region consists of the scrub jungle type which extends to a height of about 300 M, the deciduous and grassland regions lying between 300 M to 1000 M and the evergreen forests appearing at a height of about 1000 M. The evergreen forests, however, get changed into the monsoon type above 1500 M. The Kakachi region which forms the highest peak in this area is the typical monsoon forest.
Plant collections were made at various places that had distinctly different ecological conditions and in all a total of 92 families represented by 320 genera, 432 species, native to or naturalized in the forest was found. The families with quite a large number of species are: Gramineae, Euphorbiaceae, Leguminosae, Acanthaceae, Cyperaceae, Compositae, Poly-podiaceae (sensu lato), Rubiaceae, Labiatae and Verbenaceae. These ten families contain 54.4 per cent of the total flora of the forest. The collections include species which are endemic to this area.

The Pachamalais are covered by extensive forests and are situated along the north-western border of Tiruchirapally district in Madras State. The altitude of the hills ranges from 567 m. to 1000 m. The range is surrounded by steep slopes and forms a plateau at the top. This area remained botanically unexplored until three exploration trips were conducted in the year 1958-59 ; a total of 285 species representing 75 families and 226 genera were collected.
The forests of Pachamalais, present a vegetation of the South Indian tropical dry deciduous type and are characterized by populations of Acacia chundra, A. leucophloea, Albizia amara, Anogeissus latifolia, Bauhinia racemosa, Chloroxylon swietenia, Dendrocalamus strictus, Dichrostachys cinerea, Dodonaea viscosa, Mangifera indica, Santalum album, Strychnos nux-vomica, Terminalia arjuna, T. chebula, T. paniculata, Zizyphus mauritiana, Z. xylopyra and climbers like Cardiospermum halicacabum, Dioscorea hispida, D. oppositifolia and Pachygone ovata. The plateau at the top shows a thick vegetation consisting of Capparis zeylanica, Carissa carandas, Clematis gouriana, Cylista scariosa, Gnetum ula, Jasminum rigidum, Morinda umbellata and Zizyphus rugosa.
In the present enumeration the families with the largest number of species are Leguminosae 29, Gramineae 28, Euphorbiaceae 23, Acanthaceae 13, Cyperaceae 13, Verbenaceae 11 and Compositae 10. These seven families contain 42.8 per cent of the total flora of the forest.

The Shevaroys are situated to the north-east of Salem town at a distance of 26 km., the main bill station being Yercaud. Two seasonal explorations were made in the year 1958 and in all a total number of 51 species of ferns representing 14 families and 35 genera were collected.
In Shevaroys, the evergreen moist type of forest is seen where the vegetation is undisturbed and it is interesting to note that all the important fern families are represented here like Ophioglossaceae, Marattiaceae, Osmundaceae, Schizaeaceae, Gleicheniaceae, Hymenophyllaceae, Cyatheaceae and Polypodiaceae (sensu lato). Among the rare and interesting ferns, mention may be made of: Anemia tomentosa (Sav.) Sw, Antrophyum plantagineum (Cav.) Kaulf., Athyrium macrocarpum Bedd., Botrychium daucifolium Wall., B. lanuginosum Wall., Cyrtomium falcatum Presl var. caryotideum Wall., Dryopteris cochleata C., Chr., Hymenophyllum exsertum Wall, Leptochilus decurrens Blume, Lindsaea heterophylla Dry., Lygodium scandens Sw., Niphobolus gardneri (Mett.) Kunze, Osmunda regalis L., Pteris cretica L., P. quadriaurita Retz., var. argentea Bedd., and Trichomanes proliferum Blame.
The classification of Copeland is followed and the salient taxonomic features of the ferns collected are mentioned in the enumeration. Out of the plants listed Pteridaceae is well represented, the next in order being Aspidiaceae and Polypodiaceae (sensu stricto). The collections include a number of species which are new distributions to Salem District.

The Bastar area comes under Bastar district of the Madhya Pradesh and lies south of Raipur between 19°0'-21°0'N and 81°0'-82°0'E. The major portion of this area has more or less remained botanically unexplored so far and three exploration trips were conducted in the years 1958, 1959 and 1961, and a total number of 481 species representing 336 genera and 112 families were collected.
The vegetation at the foot and lower slopes of the hills is of the mixed deciduous type. The undergrowth in these forests is rather sparse. Evergreen forests occur in Kanger Valley, Dharba, Kutumsar and along the upper slopes of Bailadila. The hill-tops, particularly at Dharba and Narayanpur, are rich in grasses and herbs and amidst these terrestrial orchids are also noticed. Since there are a number of tanks, at the foot of these hills and in the plains which are wet and marshy during the rainy season, interesting aquatic and marshy plants are met with.
