Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the ecological resources of District Tank
during 2007- 2010 in different seasons. The floristic diversity consisted of 205 species
within 56 families. Based on number of species, Poaceae (34 Spp), Papilionaceae (19
Spp), Asteraceae (14 Spp), Chenopodiaceae (10 Spp) and Brassicaceae (9 Spp),
Euphorbiaceae (8 Spp), Boraginaceae, and Polygonaceae,(each with 7 species) were the
leading families. The other families had less than 7 species. Biological spectrum offlora
indicated that therophytes followed by hemicryptophytes were dominant. Leaf spectra
revealed that nanophylls, leptophylls, microphylls and mesophylls were the most
prevalentleaf sizes. Cuscuta reflexa, Capparis decidua, Periploca aphylla, P. calophylla
and Equisetum arvense were aphyllous species.
