Abstract


The situation, topography geology arid climate of Salem district are presented. Based on Champion's classification the following types are met with, viz.

The Southern thorn Forest comprises two sub-types namely: (a) Acacia-Pterolouium type and (b) Albi ia-Chloroxylon type. In the Dry Deciduous forests we encounter sub-types of Anogeissus and Shorea talura. The Dry Evergreen mainly consists of Hardwickia binata. The Southern Evergreen has predominantly Syzygium-Wendlandia type. The floristic composition of each type and sub-type is presented in detail.
