An Updated Taxonomic Checklist of Angiosperms in Jammu and Kashmir State

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biodiversity of the Himalaya: Jammu and Kashmir State

Part of the book series: Topics in Biodiversity and Conservation ((TOBC,volume 18))

Abstract

The chapter provides an updated account of angiosperm flora of the state of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K). A total of 5056 taxa, comprising 4778 species plus 278 subspecies/varieties, belonging to 1306 genera in 180 families are recorded from the state. Asteraceae with 613 species and 50 subspecies/varieties in 130 genera is the largest family, followed by Poaceae, Fabaceae, Brassicaceae, Rosaceae, Cyperaceae, Lamiaceae, Ranunculaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Boraginaceae, Apiaceae and Polygonaceae. The larger genera in the angiosperm flora include Taraxacum with 83 species and infra-specific taxa (mostly apomicts), followed by Carex (78 species), Potentilla, Astragalus, Artemisia, Ranunculus, Saussurea, Polygonum, Nepeta, Corydalis, Silene, Poa, Gentiana, Draba, Euphorbia, Berberis, Cyperus, Saxifraga, Allium, Salix, Geranium, Veronica, Persicaria, Androsace and Primula. The consolidated taxonomic checklist of angiosperms presented here reveals that the species plus infra-specific taxa recorded from J&K constitute 27.28% of all the angiosperm species in India, and 58.11% of the angiosperm flora of the Indian Himalayan region. Furthermore, many families and genera in the state contain 50% or more of their total species occurring in India. These results reveal that J&K is a mega-biodiversity state of India, rich in endemics and arboreal, aquatic, medicinal and crop plants. A good proportion of the flora, however, comprises exotic weeds, some of which have become invasive.
