Abstract

The investigation was carried out in order to explore the existing floristic composition in Shirur, Pune (Maharashtra). The present area of Shirur, Pune is selected for the floristic studies because it has been given little attention of its vegetation. The vegetation was arid to semiarid and dry deciduous, thorny scrub type. Over 161 plants belonging to more than 49 families were studied. Among 49 families, Caesalpiniaceae and Mimosaceae are the most dominant family. The floristic information of the tree flora of Shirur city is now available for the first time with this publication.
