Abstract

The present paper deals with an investigation of aquatic and marshland flora of Gola Gokarannath tehsil. A total of 164 aquatic and marshland species belonging to 104 genera and 54 families are reported from the area. Their ecological classification, phenology and field numbers are also dealt with. On the basis of dominance six associations viz. Nymphaea-Hydrilla, Nymphoides-Vallisneria, Ludwigia-Scirpus-Eragrostis, Ammannia-Carex-Cyperus, Eleocharis-Cyperus-Scirpus, Limnophila-Cyperus-Ludwigia are observed in aquatic and marshland vegetation of the study area.
