The Grassy Scrub Vegetation of Khandwa Plateau, Madhya Pradesh

Abstract

This paper deals with a floristic and ecological account of the grassy scrub vegetation of Khandwa plateau and its environs. Our knowledge regarding the vegetation of this tract is scanty and, therefore, the present study was undertaken by the author during the years 1958 and 1959.

 The physiognomy of the vegetation during the year is discussed. General observations on plant communities and ecological aspects of the vegetation are added. At the end, an Appendix gives an annotated list of 248 species of plants, comprising the grassy scrub vegetation of the area.
