The Niyamgiri hills in the South-Eastern parts of Orissa are a unique forest ecosystem harbouring rich floristic composition and vast natural resources. As there is absolutely no published record on flora of the hill till date, the phytosociological characteristics, diversity and distribution of tree species at three proposed reserve forests of the hill ranges between elevations from 400-1,306 were studied.
