Abstract

GSFC (Gujarat State Fertilizer Company), Vadodara, is reputed semigovernment agency in Gujarat State, India. The township of GSFC harbours native and wild plant taxa. Among them, Dendrophthoe falcata (L.F) Ettingsh. (hemi-parasitic plant on stem) received a considerable attention among phanerogamic parasite due to its prolific effect on host plants. Keeping in mind, a methodical survey of six consecutive months (June-December) during the year 2002 was conducted to establish a correlation between
Dendrophthoe falcata and its host plants. The information on phenology and height of the plant, total number of affected plants, and number of affected branches of particular plant species was documented. Besides, number of dead plants was also recorded (affected by Dendrophthoe falcata). A comprehensive checklist of 147 plants and 37 species of birds (dependant on the host plants of Dendrophthoe falcata) of GSFC township has been prepared during the present study.
