The phytosociological study of vegetation was carried out by quadrat method in different seasons and seed bank study was done by seedling emergence method. The number of plant species in standing vegetation was much higher (76 belonging to 32 families) compared to seed bank (38 species distributed over 15 families). The top dominants differed in the field and seed bank. Medicinal properties of plants were also described.
