Botanical Survcy of India, Coimbators ABSTRACT This paper deals with the floristic account of Devicolam in Kottayam District, Kmala. The area covered lies between 9" 57'-10' 21' N and 76'39'-77" 17' E and the altitude varies from 457-2675 m. Five seasonal botanical tours were conducted during 1963-65 and altogether 478 taxa were collected. In addition, 60 species collected by the earlier botanists and which were not collected during the above mentioned tours are also included in this list. Thus the total number of tans enumerated in this paper is 538 and they are spread over 125 families. Different types of vegetation are met with in Devicolam and they can broadly be classified as follows: Tropical dry deciduous, Tropical moist deciduous, Tropical wet evergreen, Montane wet temperate and Montane wet grassland. The occurrence of Argostchma rostratum Wall. in this area constitutes a new record for Peninsular India.
