Uttar Pradesh is the fourth largest state of India and has a rich flora on account of its varied topographic and climatic conditions. This rich plant diversity has attracted botanists, naturalists and others who have contributed their knowledge about the flora of the state. Even so, the monumental work Flora of British India by J .D. Hooker (1972-1993) and Flora of Upper Gangetic Plain by Duthie (1903-1929) are the only comprehensive treatises where numerous species of the flora of undivided Uttar Pradesh were recorded and described, besides a few district floras and scattered articles published earlier. This work, planned in three volumes, is intended to fill this gap and provide a comprehensive flora incorporating all recent changes at the species level in the present boundaries of Uttar Pradesh.
Scientists of the Botanical Survey of India started preparation for this flora in 2003. Volume 2 covers 59 families.
