Abstract

Todgarh-Raoli Wildlife Sanctuary is located in central position of Aravalli range. It has its own importance and specific characteristic endowed with unique biodiversity. The plants resources of this sanctuary were studied and analyzed in this paper. A total of 301 angiospermic species belonging to 231 genera under 84 families were investigated. Herbs were dominated flora followed by tree, climbers and shrub. Dominance of phanerophytes indicates the tropical moist and humid climate. This range lies between both xerophytic and mesic segments and thus it is an ecotone zone. Due to this ecotone nature great biodiversity is represented in the floral element. Proper conservation and management of plants are needed to save the natural resources, especially plants of this sanctuary. In the present paper an attempt has been made to ascertain the current status of the flora in all the possible area. Local conservational strategies have also been discussed in this paper.
