L. Das Ph. D* E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present study was assess the vascular flora of the Birendra M. Campus, Chitwan, Nepal in various seasons. The campus area had many wild and cultivated plants which were disturbed by cattle grazing over exploitation and uses of herbicides. 115 plant species belonging to 51 families were reported from the campus premises. There were 66 species were cultivated and numbers of wild species were 49. There were 63 herbs 18 shrubs 23 trees and 8 climbers. 48 annual, 2 biennial and 65 perennial plants were reported. Key word: Species, flora, families, wild, cultivated, annual perennial Introduction: Birendra multiple campus is a leading institute in the Nepal to invest for trained skilled manpower for future. (Das, 2017). This college is located in the tropical zone of inner Terai region of Nepal. Geographically, campus is situated in nearly central part of Nepal lies between Chure and Mahabharat range in Chitwan and 415 meter in altitude.

'The vegetation of Chitwan is described in relation to its bio-chimatic zones, edaphic factors, topographic factors and catastrophic factor (Dangol, 2008) Birendra multiple Campus has a lot of floral diversity having wild plants, (Das, 2015). Most of the plants have medicinal value. (Dangol, 2008. Plants are epiphytes and hydrophytes, xerophytes and mesophyte. Birendra Multiple Campus has always play a pivotal role for the betterment of environment along with the intention to guide the researchers in our future projects. (Das, 2017) The present paper deals with the enumeration habitat, habit and families of available flora in various seasons Material and methods The flora of Birendra Campus area was carefully enumerated in summer, rainy and winter seasons. The current study is based on primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected from field study direct observation, informal discussion and secondary data were collected from relevant literature and different website.
