16. FLORA OF GUJARAT India ranks 6th position among the 12 mega biodiversity centers of the world and Gujarat is rich in floral diversity of species, habitats and ecosystems that represents nearly 13% of the floristic diversity of the country. Digitization of floristic data and its systematic organization on web based platform in such a way that it becomes user-friendly interactive identification key, is the basic objective of the effort. Development of present software is an initiative to satisfy the thrust of easy plant identification.

17. The existing taxonomic books on flora of Gujarat; 600 plant species from Forest Flora of Gujarat state by R. I. Patel (1971), 1808 plant species recorded in Flora of Gujarat by G. L. Shah (1978) and published report of Gujarat Ecological Commission (GEC- 1996) documenting 2198 plant species along with other flora and net search are the base of this compilation. Digital Compilation of this data leads total family (159), Total plant (2143), Herb (1114), Shrub (264), Tree (292), Climber (197) and Grasses (276).
