Flora

Woodlands of Hardwickia binata and Albizia amara are the characteristic plant community of this ecoregion, distinguishing it from the predominantly teak (Tectona grandis) or sal (Shorea robusta) woodlands found elsewhere in the Deccan. The peninsular plateau forests have an upper canopy at 15-25 meters, and an understory at 10-15 meters, with little undergrowth. The Hardwickia trees lose their leaves during the winter dry season, and leaf out again in April. Other tree species in the northern part of the ecoregion include teak, Boswellia serrata, Lannea coromandelica, Anogeissus latifolia, Albizia lebbeck, Lagerstroemia parvifolia, Diospyros tomentosa, and Acacia catechu.

Fauna

The large areas of remaining forest on the penisular plateau are still home to a variety of grazing animals from the four-horned antelope (Tetracerus quadricornis), chinkara (Gazella bennettii), and blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra) to the large gaur and wild water buffalo (Bubalus arnee). Large carnivores include tigers (Panthera tigris), the dhole (wild dog, Cuon alpinus), and sloth bear (Melursus ursinus). The area is home to nearly ninety mammal species. Some of the larger species mentioned here are rare, as is the threatened Indian giant squirrel (Ratufa indica). The 300 species of birds include the globally threatened Jerdon's courser (Rhinoptilus bitorquatus), which was rediscovered in 1986 having been thought extinct for nearly a hundred years.
