A study on floral composition was carried
out in the Barakat Area of Sudan's Gazira State. During two field surveys,
random plant specimens were gathered from varied locations. At the University
of Khartoum's Faculty of Science, samples were prepared and stored there. A
total of 127 angiosperm species from 43 botanical groupings were found. There
were 36 families and 110 dicotyledons, with the most species belonging to the
Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Mimosaceae, Convolvulaceae, and Caesalpinaceae
families. Seven families containing 17 monocotyledon plant species were
discovered, with the Poaceae and Cyperaceae groups having the greatest
representation. Polygonaceae, Aristolochiaceae, Vitaceae, Cleomaceae, and
Commelinaceae were the least prevalent families. Numerous of species were
native flora, but just 27 were grown. Additionally, parasitic plants from the
families Loranthaceae and Scrophulariaceae were identified. In total, there
were 26 trees, 15 shrubs, 81 herbs, and 5 climbers in the flora. With 4
species, Euphorbia was the most widespread genus, followed by Acacia with 3.
The indigenous flora made up 78.7 percent of the total, while the cultivated
species made up 21.3 percent. In the research region, vegetation was found in
three strata, with trees such as Acacia nilotica (Sunut), Acacia nubica (Laot),
and Ziziphus spina-christi dominating the top layer (Sidir). Colatropis procera
(Ushar) dominated the shrub layer, the second (intermediate) layer, while
Cynodon dactylon ruled the third herbaceous layer. This research will be
beneficial.
