The flora of Solapur district demonstrates wide range of species diversity and growth forms. The vegetation of the district mainly represents tropical dry deciduous forests, thorny open scrub jungles and vast grasslands. During the present work, a total of 1438 taxa belong to 694 genera and 143 families of flowering plants have been recorded for Solapur district.
