The shrubs of the Western Ghats (South India): floristics and status
This study examines the understorey shrub community in a wet evergreen forest of South India. The shrub community in the evergreen forests of the Western Ghats, Eastern Ghats, Sri Lanka, South-east Asia, Neotropics, Africa and Madagascar are compared. The shrub community is richer in the Old World T...

| description | This study examines the understorey shrub community in a wet evergreen forest of South India. The shrub community in the evergreen forests of the Western Ghats, Eastern Ghats, Sri Lanka, South-east Asia, Neotropics, Africa and Madagascar are compared. The shrub community is richer in the Old World Tropics as compared to the Neotropics. The common families in the Old World Tropics are: Rubiaceae, Acanthaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Myrsinaceae and Annonaceae. The Number of families constituting the understorey shrub community falls from forty-six (Western Ghats) to thirteen (Central Amazon). The study concludes that the evergreen forests in the Western Ghats probably have the richest understorey shrub community. |
