Abstract

As many as 40 plant species belonging to 36 genera of 27 families were composing the study area - Gaddikhana Forest, Darjeeling. Among them 37 were dicotyledons and 3 monocotyledons. Its plant community was analyzed quantitatively and synthetically. The effective quadrate size was 90×90cm2. Diversity indices of 34 plant species and their evenness were determined. The proportional abundance of every species against its rank of abundance was also determined to deduce the allocation of individuals to species in communities. But for the population pressures the anthropogenic activities in forest regions are increased and in future it seems to be a major threat of biodiversity of Darjeeling.
