Answers
Explanation:
Rajasthan is one of the large states of India, located on wstern border
of the country. The ecological features and vegetadon of Rajasthan have
attracted the attention of botanists and phytogeographers and as a result a
large number of scientific papers have been published during last fifty
years. Recently published floras have not only enriched our knowledge on
the flora and floristic composition of about seven districts of the state but
also accelerated Botanical Survey of India to bring out a comprehensive
flora of the state as a whole.
The Flora of Rajasthan in two volumes by Shri B.V. Shetty and Dr. V.
Singh (Editors) with contribudons by Dr. V. Singh, S/Shri P.J. Parmar and
R.P. Pandey, is one of the pioneer comprehensive works on
phytogeographically interesting region. The Flora of Raja.sthan preented
here gives an up-to-date knowldge on the florisdc wealth of the state. The
flora preents simplified dichotomous keys from family to infraspecific
level, up-to-date nomenclature, short diagnosüc dscription,
data, ecological notes. Local names dealt under each species have made
the work further useful.
I the prsent flora should not only serve the purpose of identification,
but also should be useful for students, teachers, ecologists, agriculturists,
foresters and peN)ns concerned with the udlization and conservation of
plant resources. The information will also be useful for phytogeographers,
environmental biologists and those revßing the flora of India.
The editors and authors have done their best in bringing out this book
at a dme when inter—t in dæert is getting prominent attendon.

Rajasthan has a rich and varied flora and fauna. The natural vegetation is classed as Northern Desert Thorn Forest. These occur in small clumps scattered in a more or less open form. The density and size of patches increase from west to east following the increase in rainfall.

The density and size of patches increase from west to east following the increase in rainfall.The Desert National Park in Jaisalmer is spread over an area of 3,162 square kilometres (1,221 sq mi), is an excellent example of the ecosystem of the Thar Desert and its diverse fauna. Seashells and massive fossilised tree trunks in this park record the geological history of the desert. The region is a haven for migratory and resident birds of the desert. One can see many eagles, harriers, falcons, buzzards, kestrels and vultures. Short-toed eagles, tawny eagles, spotted eagles, laggar falcons and kestrels are the commonest of these.
