Rare and Endangered Plants of South-East Rajasthan

Abstract

A list of plant species which have been considered as rare, vulnerable and endangered is given on the basis of frequent floristic surveys carried out in the state of Rajasthan, during the last 25 years. The probable reasons for the decrease of their populations are destruction of natural habitats consequent upon increasing urbanization, massive destruction of forests, and pollution of rivers in one way or the other. Suggestions for their efficient regular monitoring have also been suggested.
