Indian Botany is the study of plant life in India, which is home to a diverse range of flora due to its varied climate and geography. The country boasts over 47,000 species of flowering plants, including many endemic species found nowhere else in the world. This rich biodiversity supports various ecosystems, from the Himalayas to the Western Ghats. Research in Indian Botany includes the classification, conservation, and utilization of plants. Important institutions like the Botanical Survey of India work to document and protect plant species. Additionally, traditional practices, such as Ayurveda, often rely on native plants for medicinal purposes, highlighting the cultural significance of botany in India.
