Abstract :

Area under present study �reserve forest of Vadgam taluka of Banaskantha district, North Gujarat� has been untouched in respect of its floral and ecological studies except present study even though being one of the flora rich regions. In consequence along with systematic identification and documentation of the flora, research to identify the status of lifeform classes of angiosperms found in the study area was of concern for the reason to obtain their eminence in comparison of Normal Biological Spectrum (NBS) and to reveal about its phytoclimate nature. Keeping this objective in the front during the research, results obtained in the end showed that characters of therophytes along with cryptophytes were dominant over other lifeform types of angiosperms in the study area. Based on this fact, the forest community of Vadgam taluka may be configured as crypto-therophytes in respect of its phytoclimate type.
