%X The flora of Basu valley, District Sakardu consisted of 50 plant species belonging to 22 families. The biological spectrum showed that Chameophytes (26.38%) was the dominant life form of the area. It was followed by hemicryptophytes (19.83 %), nanophanerophytes (19.17 %), megaphanerophytes (17.23%) and therophytes (12.06 %). Lianas were absent. Leaf size spectra of plant communities consisted of microphylls (24%), leptophylls (52 %), nanophylls (20 %) and megaphylls (4 %).
