| Publisher Description: This book entitled "FLORA OF GUNADALA HILL" KRISHNA DISTRICT, A.P., INDIA contains the important results of the floristic studies carried out on Gunadala hill. Among the hills, Gunadala hill is a part of Eastern Ghat. Even though the district flora was completed in 1987, hill habitants were over looked. No authentic evidences are available for supporting the detailed study of hill habitants. Increased biotic pressure, loss of regeneration, invasion by edge species and alternation in community structure are the few manifestations affecting biodiversity. With numerous nomenclatural changes made by ICBN in course of time with the identification of new species from different geographical localities and biotic interferences made by anthropogenic activities, there is a need to revise and update the flowering plants of the hill. Hence, an attempt was made to carry out a systemic survey of the flora existing on the hill. Altogether 30 field surveys were done covering all seasons during a period of 18 months. The species have been enumerated systematically. Of the 197 collections, 28 species are newly recorded which were not reported in the Flora of Krishna District. |
