Abstract

The current study based on the broad survey on the floristic composition of Jnana sarovara campus Nandihalli, post-graduate centre of VSKUB. This research enumerates total 204 plants species belonging to 156 genera 61 families. Among the collected plant families dominant are Fabaceae with 23 species (11.2%) stands first followed by Euphorbiacae with 17(8.3%), Poaceae 15(7.3%), Apocynaceae 11(5.3%) and Lamiaceae 8(3.9%). Dominant plants species were Parthenium hysterophorus, Lantana camara, Rostellularia procumbens, Senna uniflora, Dactoyloctenium aegyptium. Also documneted the pteridophytes plant species like Adiantum Philippense, Perkinsonia Aculata, Madhuca Longidolia. Among the species this shows IUCN RED LIST, PG Center, Nandihalli. As per research paper most of collected species belongs to , LC 82 (40%) , EN 2 (0.9%), DD 1(0.4%). The survey reveales that, the Herbs 102 speies (50%) are dominant followed by the shrubs 50(24.5%), trees 37(18.1%), and climbers 15 (7.3%). Majority of the documented plant species were used against several diseases, either alone or in combination with other plants. Herbal medicine offers safe, gentle and effective treatment. It does not just treat the isolated signs and symptoms of disease but treats the whole of us – physically, mentally because the healing cannot be fully achieved unless all are addressed .

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

“Floristic diversity” can be defined as the diversity of indigenous plants present in a specific area during a particular time period. India is a country rich in a wide variety of Biodiversity. Most of the plants that grow here serve a high medicinal purpose . In India, from the pre-medieval age, holds a possession over natural medicine. Traditional uses of floristic diversity are the foremost vital part of indigenous information system, which is widely practiced by human populations all across the world. This knowledge has been transferred orally from generation to generation.

Floristic studies is nothing but exploring the region by identifying plants and grouping them, data collection of plants present in the region and counting of them. These studies have gifted mankind with the knowledge of plants which are economically important and of high medicinal value. From the ancient time plants are used as food, fodder and medicinal purpose. Studying floristic diversity helps in understanding ecological interactions, conservation needs, and the impacts of environmental change of plant communities. By analyzing floristic composition, researchers can assess biodiverity, monitor changes in plant communities, and identify conservation priorities. It serve as a crucial tool for understanding ecological dynamics and managing natural habitats effectively.(Gowramma, B., Kyagavi, G., Karibasamma, H., & Ramanjinaiah, K. M. 2020)

II. MATERIALS AND METHODS

A. Study area

The plant species were collected during 2023-2024 from Jnana sarovara Nandihalli post-graduate centre,VSKUB located at about 8 KMs from Sandur Town. Sandur talluk is located in the central part of Ballari district and Eastern part of Karnataka state. Sandur is 565m above sea level and lies between 15°00' and 15°15' N latitude and 76°20' and 76°55' E longitude. The total geographical area is 1,243,95 Sq.km. Sandur has a tropical savannah climate which lies on the border of semi-arid type of bellary and hospet,This lush green campus is situated in a valley is surrounded by Hill ranges and spans over a vast expanse of 242.65 Acres area. The climate of the study area is cooler due to its elevation and has recorded a maximum temperature of 42 degrees and a minimum of 6 degrees. It receives 750mm of precipitation but has seen more than 1000mm of rainfall.

III. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

The Floristic composition of nandihalli reveals total 204 plant species belonging to 156 genera 61 families were documented of plant species in nandihalli. Among the plant families Fabaceae 23 species(11.2%) is dominant one followed by Euphorbiacae 17(8.3%), Poaceae 15(7.3%), Apocynaceae 11(5.3%), Lamiaceae 8(3.9%), Malvaceae and Amaranthaceae 7 (3.4%), Asteraceae 6(2.9%), Convolvulaceae, Rubiaceae and Acanthaceae 5 (2.4%) species each in fig 2.

Among the species this shows IUCN RED LIST, PG Center, Nandihalli. As per research paper most of collected species belongs to , LC 82 (40%) , EN 2 (0.9%), DD 1(0.4%) LC - Least Concern, VU - Vulnerable, EN - Endangered, DD - Data Deficient. fig 3.

Habit of plant shows majority were the herbs 102(50%) are dominant ones followed by the shrubs 50(24.5%), trees 37(18.1%), climbers 15(7.3%). Total 204 plant species were tabulated including botanical names, vernacular names, IUCN status, habit and their uses fig 4.

In terms of the life form the majority of the plants belongs to perennial (84%), and annual(14%), biennial(2%) fig 5.

Conclusion

The current study provides the basic information about the medicinal uses of plant species and provides the information about the distribution and description of plant species which is usefu for further research and field work in sandur region. It is conducted that, 204 plant species are documented in the study area which belongs to 156 genera 61 families were documented of plant species in nandihalli. Among the plant species the dominant plants are - Parthenium hysterophorus,Lantana camara, Rostellularia procumbens, Senna uniflora, Dactoyloctenium aegyptium. And Among the plant families Fabaceae is dominant one followedby Euphorbiacae, Poaceae, Apocynaceae, Lamiaceae, Malvaceae, Amaranthaceae, Asteraceae, Convolvulaceae, Rubiaceae, Acanthaceae. And in that field we also documneted the pteridophytes plants like - Spathodia Companualata, Adiantum Philippense, Perkinsonia Aculata, Madhuca Longidolia . These plant species can be used for the various purposes like medicinal uses and can also be used for the cosmetics, fragrances and food. Hence, these plant species could be taken up for further pharmacological and clinical studies useful in the formulation of novel drugs for diabetes, jaundice etc.
