In the floristic survey, we recorded 65 species in 27 families(Table 1). The richest families were Cyperaceae (22 spp.), Fabaceae(5 spp.) and Nymphaeaceae, Poaceae and Plantaginaceae (4 spp.each). Cyperus was the richest genus, with nine species, followed by Bacopa, Nymphaea and Rhynchospora (four species each). The most common life-form was emergent hydrophyte, which was present in 81% of the species. Floating leaved hydrophytes were represented by only five species (8%), most of them from the genus Nymphaea. We recorded only three species of submersed hydrophytes and three of helophytes (Table 1). Only one free-floating species, Salvinia auriculata, was recorded in the area, but this species was very common, showing large abundance and frequency (Table 2).
