Study of Angiospermic Diversity of Bakhira Lake, Sant Kabir Nagar, Uttar Pradesh

As producers, aquatic and marshy angiospermic plants are most important component in the Bakhira lake of Sant Kabir Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. It is therefore necessary to record and to assess the diversity and potentiality of the aquatic plant communities. In the present study on the Bakhira lake of Sant Kabir Nagar, Uttar Pradesh the aquatic and marshy angiosperms here, 201 species belonging to 115 genera of 50 families were identified. Out of total 201 species, 107 were dicot species belonging to 65 genera of 33 families while 94 species were monocot belonging to 50 genera of 17 families.
