Abstract
The Present study documented the diversity and
ecomorphological characters of different grasses find in university campus of
Kota, Kota. The Floristic surveys conducted in May to July 2026. Species were
evaluated based on different morphological characters, life span and
palatability, which are key indicators of rocky grassland. Total 10 Grass
species of Family Poaceae were screened during the survey. Herbarium specimens
of collected grasses were prepared to ensure taxonomic identification and
future references. The dominance of palatable and perennial grasses suggests
that among all grass species present in campus Cyanodon dactylon was
dominant in all places followed by Chloris virgata and Eragrostis tenella,
some areas of campus naturally supported few grass species and formed it
productive and ecologically balanced ecosystem along with native rocky land
habitat.
