Abstract
A comprehensive
phytosociological investigation of carpet plants and flowering plants growing
on berms of Vihar Lake (19° 8′ 38.4″ N, 72° 54′ 36″ E) was carried out. Vihar
Lake is located near Vihar village on the Mithi River within the boundaries of
the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, in North Mumbai. When built in 1860
(construction initiated in 1856), it was considered as the largest lake in
Mumbai. It is located between Tulsi Lake and Powai Lake. It partly meets the
drinking water needs of the Mumbai region. The objective of this investigation
is to observe and record the plant species of carpet plants and flowering
species found on the berms of Vihar Lake. The phytosociological research study
was conducted using the quadrant method. The dominant species was found to be Cynodon
dactylon followed by Sagina procumbens.
