Abstract
A total of 338 species of Angiosperms belonging to 247 genera and 80 families have been recorded from Lungmaiching Hill Ranges located in Imphal east district, Manipur. The recorded species are classified under APG IV. Of these, highest species diversity is shown by Eudicots with 240 species, followed by Monocots with 84 species, Magnolids with 13 species, etc. The species composition is dominated by herbs (121 spp.) and trees (104 spp.) while others are represented by shrubs (76 spp.), epiphytes (21 spp.), climbers (15 spp.) and creeper (1 sp.). At family level, Fabaceae (22 spp.) showed highest species content and is followed by Orchidaceae (21 spp.), Asteraceae (21 spp.), Poaceae (20 spp.) and Moraceae (16 spp.). The study also reported Lasia spinosa (L.) Thwaites and Ficus hirta Vahl as new additions to the flora of Manipur.
