Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive survey of wetland angiosperms conducted in the aquatic habitats of Lehri Sagar Lake, Son Vadiya, Jamjodhpur, Jamnagar district, Gujarat, India. A total of 51 species belonging to 47 genera and 32 families were identified, including 26 herbs, 6 trees, 5 shrubs, 5 climbers, 3 grasses, 2 sedges, and 2 succulent shrubs. The findings highlight the ecological richness and biodiversity of this man-made wetland, underscoring the importance of such habitats for local flora and fauna. The study also addresses the presence of invasive species and their potential impacts on native biodiversity. These insights aim to inform conservation efforts and enhance the sustainability of wetland ecosystems in the region.
