Abstract

The present investigation deals with the diversity of climbers, trailers and parasitic plants in botanical garden, Botanical Survey of India, Central Regional Centre, Allahabad, U.P. There are 75 species under 61 genera belonging to 27 families. The climbers here discussed were cultivated (as some species of Cucurbits), wild and ornamental. The species were listed according to Bentham and Hooker’s system of classification with their botanical name, family, habit, phenology and uses.
