Abstract
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. During the survey of this study area Ceratophyllum demersum was first time reported. Two species were found to be new record viz. Alternanthera sessilis and Ranunculus sceleratus was found to be extending its distribution in the Bakhira lake of Sant Kabir Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. Due to rapid pace of urbanization, formation of new human settlements and industrialization these aquatic habitat are in severe threat of extinction. It is therefore an urgent and utmost need to record and to assess the diversity and potentiality of these aquatic plant communities before they will vanish forever.
