Description  of forest: The forest was formerly a kan forest, a village sacred forest of pre-colonial times. Kans were evergreen forests in earlier times. May be because of local communities losing their traditional control over the kan and conversion of the same into Minor Forest for meeting biomass requirements reduced it into a moist deciduous forest. Acacia plantation has also been raised in part of it. Of the evergreen trees what remain today are few: Carallia brachiata, Syzygium cumini, Hydnocarpus wightiana, Caryota urens etc. are few relics of the kan nature.
The notable trees in the forest were Adina cordifolia, Alangium salvifolium, Albizzia lebbeck, Buchanania lanzan, Careya arborea, Carallia brachiata, Cordia wallichi, Dalbergia latifolia, Diospyros melanoxylon, D. montana, Ficus benghalensis, Ficus callosa, Ficus drupacea, Ficus spp.,  Lagerstromia microcarpa, Lannea coromandelica, Madhuca latifolia, Mitragyna parviflora, Odina wodier, Olea dioica, Pterocarpus marsupium, Schleischera oleosa, Semecarpus anacardium, Spondias acuminata, Syzygium cumini, Terminalia bellirica, T. paniculata T. tomentosa, Xylia xylocarpa,  etc. Bambusa arundinacea is frequent in the forest; weed infestation is high in the openings.  Among the shrubs and climbers noticed were Calycopteris floribunda, Carissa carandas, Hemidesmus indicus, Holarrhena antidysenterica, Ichnocarpus frutescens, Jasminim malabaricum,   Zizyphus rugosa etc.
