ABSTRACT:

This study is the first of its kind conducted at Jai Prakash Vishwavidyalaya in Chapra, Saran, Bihar, India. The present research aims to assess the diversity of flora and to properly document the plant species present on the university campus. Documenting vegetation is essential for understanding plant diversity, which holds medicinal and economic significance. It also aids in the conservation of this diversity by providing insights into the existing ecosystem. In this survey, we collected information on every plant available on the university campus to create a database of the existing plant diversity. A total of 611 genera belonging to 23 different families were recorded. These genera include Angiosperms and Gymnosperms from various families such as Meliaceae, Fabaceae, Combretaceae, Annonaceae, Rutaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Malvaceae, Arecaceae, Apocynaceae, Myrtaceae, Lamiaceae, Anacardiaceae, Rosaceae, Asparagaceae, Commelinaceae, Lamiaceae, Asteraceae, Asphodelaceae, and Moraceae. The Meliaceae family exhibited the highest number of species, followed by Fabaceae, Combretaceae, Annonaceae, and Rutaceae. It was found that the Araceae and Fabaceae families were the most dominant among all. All plants have been documented with their vernacular names, scientific names, family classifications, habits, and economic importance.
