Introduction Awissawella Wet Zone Botanic Gardens

Introduction Illukkowita, Awissawella, Western province 1 st Wet Zone Botanical Gardens Total area acres.

Objectives To place a historical record by revealing preliminary floristic details of the Avissawella Wet Zone Botanic gardens for the first time. To develop the first base map for ecological habitats of the site.

Methodology- vegetation sampling Woody plants-10 plots of 15 m ×15 m Cover abundance of Herbs - Braun-Blanquet scale using 20 plots of 2m x2m The distribution of woody species - Profile Diagrams Most important species – IVI values Geographic coordinates were obtained and produced a map - using Arc view software.

Results Most important woody species  Syzygium caryophyllatum (Dan)  Litsea longifolia (Rath kara)  Symplocos cochinchinensis (Bombu)  Mallotus tetracoccus (Kanda) Common herbs  Mimosa pudica  Desmodium spp.  Urena lobata  Axonopus spp.  Spermacoce spp.  Alysicarpus vaginalis
