Abstract :

Sendhwa tehsil is smallest town of Barwani district & situated in the south west corner of Madhya Pradesh. It is located 16 km from Maharashtra & Madhya Pradesh Border. It is declared as tribal district. The present study was aimed at determining the vascular plant species richness of the Govt. PG College Sendhwa dist. Barwani, Madhya Pradesh campus. For this, the species richness data was obtained by both secondary sources and intensive surveys from 2017–2019. College campus is extended over 9 acres of land. The campus area are the representative of climax vegetation and exhibit the diversity of species such as trees, climbers, epiphyte and other shade loving herbs. Botanical gardens are the storehouses of valuable medicinal and other plants having high economic value. The data from the primary and secondary sources resulted in the documentation of 100 species belonging to100 genera under 42 families. Arboreal species richness recorded till date (100) in the campus accounts for 0.18 % of that of the entire Sendhwa City. There are 100 wild and naturalized species in the 18 sq km which gives species density of 0.18 %. Leguminosae and Poaceae were the dominant dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous families respectively. Although the botanical garden over the past years has lost 80% species, it still houses rare species such as Cynoglossum zeylanicum (Vahl) Brand. Considering the rapidly changing urban land use in the city, much attention should be paid towards the conservation of these green spaces, for which such studies provide baseline data.
