A pilot survey was made in seven coastal districts along the Coromandel Coast of Tamil Nadu to know the status of rare and endemic plants. In which six taxa viz. Actinoscirpus grossus and Cyperus clarkei of Cyperaceae, Capparis divaricata of Capparaceae, Falconeria insignis of Euphorbiaceae, Limnophila repens of Scrophulariaceae and Utricularia hirta of Lentibulariaceae were identified as rare showing distributional importance. Nomenclature, description, phenology, distribution status of the state, habitat and notes were provided for easy understanding of the species. Conservation measures targeted at the endemic and threatened plants of an ecosystem will prevent destruction of natural vegetation and efforts must be taken to protect the biodiversity in an area by involving the local communities in preservation and conservation aspects.Keywords
