Abstract
Durgawadi plateau situated in the Northern Western Ghats of Junnar tehsil, Pune district (Maharashtra state) India comes under reserved biodiversity evergreen forest type. The continuous repetitive investigation of anther type special based on the mode of anther dehiscence considers 220 dicotyledonsyledon angiosperms species belonging to 161 genera of 66 plant families. The two main types of anther dehiscence were observed longitudinal and poricidal. Among these subtypes of longitudinal dehiscence, the extrorse dehiscence type is most commonly found in 25 families. Another sub-type of longitudinal dehiscences such as introrse dehiscence, latrorse dehiscence, and poricidal dehiscence types were found in 24, 18 & 1 families accordingly. Anther longitudinal dehiscence in introrse type is most commonly observed in 98 species, followed by extrorse, latrorse, and poricidal types were found in 70, 62, and 9 taxa respectively.
