Abstract
The Nubra valley of Ladakh (Jammu and Kashmir) is situated to the North of Leh and constitutes a part of the Indian cold desert of trans-Himalaya. The life forms of the flora of Nubra valley (including Pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms) belonging to 65 families, 257 genera and 439 species have been studied and the biological spectrum has been compared with that of Raunkiaer’s normal spectrum. The thero-hemicryptophytic phytoclimate of the area is characteristic of cold alpine zones.
