Total of 202 indigenous Angiospermic species belonging to 163 genera under 68 families were recorded, out of which 170 (84%) were dicot plant species and 32 (16%) were monocot plant species. According the habit, 87 (43%) tree species, 68 (34%) herb species, 24 (12%) climber species and 23 (11%) shrub species were documented. Findings of the present study will be useful for further phytosociological and ethobotanical studies of the sanctuary.
