Abstract

The paper reports the floristic composition of four regenerating forest stands in the Kandhamal District of Orissa, India. Highest number of species (69) was observed in 2 years regenerating stand, which declined with increase in age. The number of species was 55, 55, and 51 in 4 years, 6 years and 10 years stands respectively. Altogether 87 species under 71 genera and 32 families were recorded in the forest stands. The change in the number of species with age is mainly due to the elimination of herb species in the undergrowth. Tree and shrub species maintain their number in all the stands.
