This Present study is aimed to determine the diversity and distribution of Alien Macrophytic plants found in the Arthuna pond of Garhi Tehsil in Banswara District of South Rajasthan. In the years 2019 and 2020, the specimens were collected from four sites located from the north to south and east to west of study area. A total of seven species belonging to six genera and six families are reported as Invasive Alien Macrophytes.

Physicochemical parameters like water pH, Temperature, TDS, Dissolve oxygen, Turbidity were analysed in three seasons winter, summer and rain. The Invasive Alien Species possess serious threat to local diversity and human Health therefore systematic study about the invasive plant species is necessary
