Singrauli is a large Tehsil in district Sidhi of Madhya Pradesh with 1904 sq km area, with 56% of land under forest cover. There exists a remarkable diversity in its floristic elements, with several medicinally and  economically important herbs, which are becoming endangered due to rapid urbanisation and development  of mines and power projects.

A detailed survey on the floristic diversity of the Barda Hills and their surroundings has been carried out with Thaker’s (1910) treatise as the standard starting point with respect to the plant species composition, the disappearance of species and the newly entered species.

Out of these, dicots accounts for 730 species, monocots 169 species, 3 gymnosperm and 5 pteridophytes. An occurrence of some 315 sp. (new records from the area) not enumerated by Thaker (l.c.) from the area (net gain to the floristic list by 46.0%) has been listed. The study also highlights a loss of some 92 sp. (13.4%) from the hitherto record of 684 floristic species by Thaker (1910) and addition of 22 species made to the Flora of Saurashtra out of which one is new to Gujarat. (Map 1 and 3 tables).
