This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
The Flora of India is one of the richest of the world due to a wide range of climate, topology and environments in the country. It is thought there are over 15000 species of flowering plants in India,which account for 6 percent of the total plant species in the world.[1] and probably many more species. Whilst the list comprises indigenous types, others have been introduced to India and may be included. Major plant divisions (sub divisions) are shown together with Family and examples. The classification and ranking of plants varies due to differing taxonomy systems and synonyms may be shown.
