The area is rich in the diversity of plants due to its various edhaphic, climatic and other ecological factors, favouring a unique ecosystem where aroids coexist with other plant species. A total of 26 species belonging to 17 genera were collected from the site. Out of which 8 species (32%) are edible and 18 species are ornamental (68%) and terrestrial (14) 54%, Climbers (9) 35% marshy land (2) 8% & aquatic (1) 4%. INTRODUCTION Araceae, also known as the Arum family are often colloquially known as aroid. It is monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is partially enclosed in, a spathe or leaf-like bract. The family includes many ornamental plants such as Aglaonema, Caladium, etc. and edible plants such as Amorphophallus, Alocasia, Colocasia, etc. Species of Araceae are often rhizomatou...
