Present manuscript deals with the diversity of hydrophytes and other macrophytes generally found in and along the rivers of the Chandrapur district. The major rivers Wardha, Painganga and Waineganga of the district were studied for a period of two years from 2013-2015. During study, 16 hydrophytes and 56 other macrophytes were recorded from 21 sele...

... From South-western Maharashtra 303 aquatic angiosperms from fresh water as well as mangrove wetlands are reported from four districts, viz., Satara, Kolhapur, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg (16). Sporadic reports of small reservoirs or riverine ecosystems are available, especially from Vidarbha region of the state (17,18). The Flora of Maharashtra (19) recorded only a glimpse of hydrophytes and mangroves of Maharashtra state in general, but the plant diversity of wetlands was not emphasized. ...
The wetlands and wetland macrophytes play crucial role in the ecosystem with direct as well as indirect benefits of uncountable value. A study was undertaken to document angiospermic wetland macrophytes in Pune district, Maharashtra state, India. Results of the study revealed that, there are 11 categories of wetlands in Pune district including seven natural and four man-made. These wetlands harbour 457 angiosperms belonging to 72 families. Of these, 457 taxa, 204 taxa are under different categories as per IUCN, while 253 are not evaluated. Among recorded taxa, one is 'Critically Endangered' (Eriocaulon santapaui), three 'Endangered' (Iphigenia stellata, Eriocaulon richardianum and Dimeria hohenackeri), two 'Vulnerable' (Isachne bicolor and Utricularia albocaerulea) and 198 taxa are 'Least concerned'. Total 67 Indian endemic taxa are recorded from the wetlands in the study area.
... Works on floristic studies of documentation of diversity of aquatic plants and wetlands flora in various water reservoirs and wetland areas of different states of India were carried out by many workers [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. Besides these there are several researchers from Maharashtra state and its various districts and regions, explored the aquatic and wet lands plants diversity [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. Nagpur is one of the greenest cities of India with 18 per cent of its area under forests and plantations, 17 per cent under cultivation and 2 per cent under water bodies [23]. ...
Abstract: Gorewada reservoir and adjacent area (1885 Ha) now converted into International Biopark abodes a variety of plant community to its credit. A study has been carried out to elucidate the aquatic flora with diverse plant wealth, indicator plants and their ecological status in wetlands of Gorewada catchment area.114 plants species with 33 families have been identified from the Gorewada
wet land area. 67 species belong to dicotyledons and 47 are monocotyledons.

... Constant monitoring and conservation of aquatic ecosystems is very essential in theses ever changing environment. A considerable data on hydrophytes is available from Chandrapur district [1][2][3][4][5]. But the Bamanwada lake is still unexplored for its macrophytic diversity. ...
Present manuscript deals with the diversity of hydrophytes of a perennial water body situated in Bamanwada village of Chandrapur district, Maharashtra, India. The lake was regularly inspected for two years period from 2016 to 2018 for its macrophytic vegetation. From the water body, total 25 hydrophytes were isolated, photographed and identified. Among them one is algae, 2 are Pteridophytes and 22 are Angiosperms.
