Bhimbetka World Heritage Site in Madhya Pradesh is quite important both from archaeological and biodiversity point of view. There are over 700 rock shelters with world's oldest Stone Age rock paintings, which are surrounded by a thick cover of primeval forests supporting a rich biodiversity. The forests of the area are typically dry mixed deciduous type with preponderance of Mitragyna parviflora, Terminalia alata, Careya arborea, Chloroxylon swietenia, Sterculia urens, Ficus mollis, Lannea coromandelica, Anogeissus latifolia, Schleichera oleosa and Diospyros melanoxylon trees. An analysis of floristic diversity revealed that there are 201 species of flowering plants belonging to 157 genera and 56 families. The legumes are most dominant in the area in respect to number of species (36 spp.), followed by families like Malvaceae (13 sp.) and Euphorbiaceae (12 sp.). An assessment of economic potential of the flora has also been made based on the first hand information generated from local inhabitants mainly Gond adivasis. The economically potential species are categorised into different groups based on their uses. Rare and endangered species have also been identified based on the status evaluation of their populations.Keywords

Seeds of 9 species of Medicago have been investigated under light and scanning electron microscope to find out the systematic significance of spermoderm pattern. Under light microscope, the surface is smooth in all the species except M. monantha and M. orbicularis where it is tuberculate. Under scanning electron microscope, majority of species viz., M. laciniata, M. lupulina, M. minima, M. orbicularis. M. polymorpha var. vulgaris and M. × varia show tuberculate (papillose) pattern while M. edgeworthii, M. monantha and M. sativa show false reticulate, reticulate and rugulate patterns respectively. The nature of tubercules differs from species to species and thus spermoderm pattern can be used in the identification of plants at specific level.- The Identity of Trigonella Upendrae Chowdhery & R.

The critical study of the type specimens of Trigonella upendrae shows that it is neither a TRIGONELLA, nor a new taxon in Leguminosae. It is a MEDICAGO belonging to M. saliva and therefore, treated here as its synonym.- Patfern of Morphological Diversity within Aconitum heterophyllum Wall. Ex Royle (Ranunculaceae) in India

Aconitum heterophyllum exhibits a wide range of inter and intra population variability throughout its natural range of distribution. Three distinct geographical and ecological groups have been recognised within the species which constitute 3 varieties. These are A. heterophyllurn var. heterophyllum, A. heterophyllum var. bracteatum and A. heterophyllum var. roylei. An exhaustive account of the morphologicd variation within the species and a diagnostic key to the varieties with an enumeration have been presented. Each species has been provided with correct name and citation, synonyms, type specimen, distribution, list of specimens examined and notes.- Variation in Podophyllum hexandrum L. (Podophyllaceae) in Himalaya

Present study deals with the variation pattern among the populations of Podophyllum hexandrun L. Both intra-as well as inter population variation mainly in hight of plants, length of internodes, length of petioles, leaf incision, margins and pubescence, length of pedicels, colour of flowers, size of fruits and number of seeds have been observed. Some of these variations are continuous and unstable. The variety P. hexandrum var. jaeschkei has been reduced here as synonym under P. hexandrum for the first time.- Two New Additions to the Genus Astragalus L. (Leguminosae papilionoideae) of India
