Chitrakoot (The Hill of many wonders) is a one of the famous holy place for the pilgrimage of Hindus in India and surrounded by lush green hills of legendary Vindhyachal range. It has been very rich in forest biodiversity since ancient times. Chitrakoot’s spiritual legacy stretches back to legendary ages. It was in these deep forests that Lord Rama, consort Sita and his brother Lakshmana spent eleven and half years of their fourteen years of exile. The richness of biodiversity has been described in various ancient literatures. But at present the biodiversity of Chitrakoot is reduced to a great extent due to unsustainable human activities. A detailed study on plant biodiversity, threat assessment, conservation and ethnobotany has been carried during 2003-2011. A total number of 743 species under 472 genera belonging to 118 families are recorded. Out of these, 574 species under 361 genera and 93 families belong to dicots and the remaining 169 species under 111 genera and 25 families belong to monocots. In the present paper the work carried out is enumerated.

An extensive floristic survey was carried out for documentation of angiosperm diversity in this reserve forest between 2002 and 2007. A total of 471 species, 346 genera and 107 families were found in this area. Poaceae, Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Orchidaceae, Lamiaceae and Rosaceae were dominant families and Erigeron, Polygonum and Rubus were the largest genera with six species each. Maximum number of species were found in the altitudinal zone of below 1800 m.
