We made an inventory of vascular plants of Bankapura Peacock Conservation Reserve, located in the Haveri district of Karnataka.

These include 116 dicotyledons and 23 monocotyledons, 1 pteridophyte and 1 gymnosperm. Fabaceae is the most dominant family as it contributes about 17% of the total flora.
