Journal Title: International Journal of Biological Innovations - Year 2022, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The present paper deals with floristic diversity of plants belonging to family Asteraceae growing in district Bhiwani, Haryana, India. A sum of 36 species belonging to 26 genera of family Asteraceae was identified. Exploration was carried out in different seasons from 2014 to 2019. Local inhabitants were interviewed regarding ethnobotanical aspects of collected plants. Out of 36 species identified, 29 species have medicinal value used to treat various diseases and health issues. Ageratum conyzoides, Bidens pilosa, Eclipta alba, Erigeron canadensis and Tridax procumbens have pharmacological value. The genera Blumea, Gnaphalium and Sonchus were found dominating followed by Erigeron, Bidens, Ageratum and Launaea. Most of the species were seen in wild state but few occurred as common crop weeds like Ageratum, Cichorium, and Cirsium etc. while Glossocardia, Dicoma, Blainvillea etc. were found rarely and occurred mainly on hilly slopes. Parthenium hysterophorus was found to be the strongest weed followed by Verbesina in the areas under investigation. Nearly all the members were herbaceous and grow abundantly throughout the year in the area studied.
