A field appraisal on plant diversity of K.M. Government College campus Narwana was conducted during 15 January, 2016 to 31 January, 2016. Study was performed in all parts of the study area and plants were collected to prepare herbarium. Herbaceous flora was excavated as a whole whereas in case of shrubs and trees, only the tender twigs bearing flowers and fruits were taken. The dried specimens were pasted on the herbarium sheets. The herbarium sheets were protected against damage from insect and fungal pathogens by poisoning the sheets with 1% mercuric chloride and naphthalene balls. After field survey and herbarium preparation, all plants were identified by botanical name and family with the help of available literature. The total plants species recorded, indicated the heterogenous floristic composition in the college campus. Maximum species diversity was recorded of angiosperms among spermatophytes. Herbaceous genera were recorded more in number than the genera of shrubs and trees. The researchers can exploit this information in planning of sustainable utilization of these resources in and around Narwana town.
