Abstract

Madhya Pradesh is among the States with high forest cover. Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve (PBR) is uniquely located where Northern Moist Deciduous (Sal) and Southern Dry Deciduous (Teak) forests overlap. Several botanical excursions have been carried out fro enumeration of the flora of the Pachmarhi area in recent past. During recent plant surveys we have recorded 28 plants hitherto not reported from this protected area. Plants for which are records have been made are found in Madhya Pradesh and are expected to occur. Since PBR is moist important PA in Central India therefore these additions are worthwhile.
