ABSTRACT
extensive study is conducted in and around Kota District to monitor diversity and economic uses of the plants which are emergent on the walls of Archaeological buildings. A total of 134 plant species are observed, out of which 119 plant species are dicotyledons and only 15 species are monocotyledons. Total 106 genera comprising 46 families are documented. The Asteraceae, Poaceae and Amaranthaceae are the dominant families of the wall flora. Herb and Shrub habit is dominant on the walls whereas climbers and trees are least observed. Majority of the species were observed in winters and Monsoon of the year. Most of the plant species are used by the tribals in the treatment of wounds, fever, dysentery and some are used as a remedy in cancer treatment. Members of Cyperaceae and Poaceae are utilized as fodder.
