Abstract
The present study deals with floristic diversity and taxonomy along with the observations with respect to precise locations, flowering, fruiting period and potential threats of some endangered plant species of Western Ghats in Nasik district of Maharashtra. Total 30 endangered plant species belonging to 14 families; were recorded during an extensive field surveys and botanical excursions; conducted from 2018 to 2020 at several places mainly forest pockets and hilly regions from Nasik tehsils like Sinnar, Trymbakeshwar, Igatpuri, Chandwad, Kalwan etc. The occurrence of endangered plant species focusing their floristic and taxonomical aspects were monitored continuously so as know the current status of these species in the study area. It was observed that the probable reasons for consistent decrease in number of endangered plant species in the study area; are destruction of natural habitats due to increasing illegal acquisition of forest land, massive deforestation and urbanization. The present study thus highlights an effective monitoring and conservation strategy to be adopted for the sustainable use of endangered plants.
