IN ALL 12 TREE SPECIES, 13 SHRUB SPECIES AND 12 GRASS SPECIES WERE RECORDED. AMONG TREE SPECIES, PROSOPIS JULIFLORA AND ACACIA NILOTICA WERE MOST DOMINANT. AMONG SHRUBS , CAPPARIS ZEYLANICA, C . DECIDUA , GREWIA PILOSA AND LANTANA CAMARA WERE MORE FREQUENT ON PROTECTED SITES WHILE CASSIA TORA , XANTHIUM STRUMARIUM, DATURA STRAIMARIUM AND CALOTROPIS PROCERA DOMINATED AT SITES WITH HIGH BOITIC PRESSURE. THE GRASSES WERE ABSENT ON UNPROTECTED SITES. APLUDA MUTICA DOMINATED THE GRASS COVER AT TOP AND SLOPES OF THE RAVINES.Not Availabl
