Abstract :

 

The present paper deals with the study based on floral survey of the land proposed for Ash dyke area by National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd, Korba to acquire 496.273 hectare land including 244.849 hectare forest land nearby lake Dhanras in Bilaspur district of Madhya Pradesh (Now Chhattisgarh). According to Forest Conservation Act 1980, the forest clearance is strictly prohibited without studying the flora and fauna of that area to know their status. NTPC had applied for the forest clearance of 244.849 hectare revenue forest area under the provision of Forest Conservation Act 1980. The main objective of study was to find out the rare and endangered flora and fauna of the proposed area. We observed and identified 340 plants species. These plant species were collected during different seasons. After collection of these species, they were preserved and kept in the SFRI Jabalpur (MP) herbarium for record. It was noticed that regeneration status of tree species were very poor. Other species occasionally present in this category are belonging to Shrub groups. We have recorded 9 families of monocotyledons with 47 genera and 78 species from study area. As far as dicotyledons are concerned 59 families with 172 genera and 236 species were recorded.
