Type: article
Abstract: Within the northern Western Ghats of Maharashtra, Nashik district stands out as the most ecologically diverse region. It is situated within the latitudes of 19° 59' 50.8344'' N and 73° 47' 23.2908'' E. Locally, several plant taxa remain unexplored. This study aims to investigate the floristic diversity and various taxonomic groups of angiosperms present in unreported taxonomic groups within the examined region. During the botanical study in the northern Western Ghats of Nashik locations, we examined the critically endangered morning glory (Argyreia pilosa Wight & Arn.) flowering plant species, which was found in the concentrated region. This botanical investigation involved the collection of plant taxa from diverse regions and ecosystems, marking the first instance of similar collection. The scientific study conducted by the author uncovers novel data about Argyreia pilosa Wight & Arn. in the Nashik district of the northern Western Ghats of Maharashtra.
