Abstract

Detailed botanical survey was carried out in Anapady Medicinal Plants Conservation Area (MPCA) during November 2003 which resulted in the documentation of 442 taxa of flowering plants including several endemic and threatened ones. Screening of literature showed that 58 taxa are additions to the flora of Palghat district. Of these, Desmodium zonatum Miq., Digitaria tomentosa (Koenig ex Willd.) Henrard and Peperomia pseudo-rhombea C.DC. form new reports to the state of Kerala. 34 of these taxa belong to the category of Red Listed medicinal plant species.
