Abstract

Five different random sites were analyzed for the study of the plant species using quadrat methods from Shirui National Park. The plants were measured and recorded by random sampling with 20 quadrats of 10m ×10m in each study site during the period between January 2023  and April 2023.Site 4 Showed the maximum parameter for IVI value of Plant Species which was represent by Bidens Pilosa with the value of 130.7 Site 5 Showed the minimum parameter for IVI value of Plant Species which was represent by Lliliummackliniae with the value of 24. The IVI results show that the plant species importance values differs from site to site. From the study Llilium Mackliniae (Shirui Lily) is found decreasing in population, a species which is only endemic to Shirui National Park, Manipur.
