Keeping in view the demand to generate biodiversity information at regional and district level, the present study conducted on enumeration of polypetalous plants is in right earnest to complement the existing information with respect to the district Moradabad. The information provided is an outcome of exhaustive study and extensive survey conducted over three years spread over seasons, and not just drawn from published account.
However, the study suffers from a few technical deficiency since it is said to have based on the Classification of Bentham and Hooker. The family nomenclature of certain families used is based on other recent systems, e.g. whereas according to Bentham Hooker the Leguminosae comprises of three subfamilies namely Paplinioideae, Caesal pinioidae and Mimosoideae, but authors have preferred to use the names Fabaceae, Caesal pineae, Mimosae. This needs to be suitably corrected
Further, there are some syntax errors e.g. name of the family under results is beginning with small case of initial instead of the correct requirement to begin with higher case i.e. Capital. The matter written under lines 7-10 is of repetitive nature
The manuscript is otherwise well written and the information contained is valuable covering floristic information on 235 plant species spread over 46 families and 156 genera found in the district Moradabad and its surroundings.
The manuscript is worthy of publication after making minor corrections as suggested above.
