Abstract

A total of 258 angiosperm taxa representing 75 families were evaluated as potential wild ornamentals in Andhra Pradesh, out of the total 845 wild ornamental taxa recorded from a five-year field study. The largest family is Fabaceae with 23 species and the largest genus is Ficus with nine species. Present paper deals with the critical analysis and systematic enumeration of all the 258 taxa in a tabulated form with their botanical names, habitat, habit form, ornamental category, longevity, district-wise distribution and voucher specimens.
