Asian J For 1: xxxx. The present paper focused on an assessment of angiosperm diversityat Bharsar and its adjoining area conducted during December 2014 to December 2016. A total of 75 families, with 237 species weredicotyledons (66 families) and 37 species of monocotyledons (9 families) collected during the study period. Out of the 75 angiospermicfamilies, Asteraceae contributed maximum share 13.14 % (36 species), followed by Fabaceae 6.16 % (17 species), Lamiaceae andRosaceae both 5.43 % (15 species), Poaceae 4.71%, Ranunculaceae 4.35 % (12 species), Polygonaceae 4.04% (11 species). Floristicsurveys of different regions are extremely essential in order to furnish complete understanding of vegetation of the past and present, aswell as to support various types of studies in botany and allied disciplines. Bharsar happens to be one of the newly developed area andexperiences different types of biotic pressure of plant life which are specially accelerating with the process of developmental activities.Therefore, extensive field surveys were carried out for two year.Read More
