INTRODUCTION

Background
As we know, for our study only the formal closes are
cannot sufficient. Our practical learning is too much
effective as compare to our formal studies. By visiting
different study field, makes our study more effective. As
like this on 2079-07-26 we students of class-11 went for 3
days tour excursion to Daman. We choose the mountain
botanical garden of Daman for our Biology study. We
were curious to know and make research on various
plants. As we know a botanical garden is a controlled and
staffed institution for the maintenance of a living
collection of plants under scientific management for
purposes at education and research. We can see and learn
about a wide variety of plants. During our visit on
mountain botanical garden of Daman, we had collected
necessary data and information written on board to
prepare reports and presentations for the classes. The
main motive of the visit was to make the students know
and explore about. Plant life through direct observation.
Overall, this kind of field visits. Always provide a new
experience of learning. In addition it also provides an
opportunity to explore new places with new knowledge
and ideas.
Study Area
At firstly, we choose the mountain botanical garden
Daman Nepal for our biological study. Daman is one of
the most beautiful tourist attraction in Thaha
Municipality, Makwanpur district, central Nepal. It lies on
the Tribhuvan Highway. About 11 kilomiters south west
of Kathmandu at an elevation of 2322 metres. It lies
about 20 4052 to 7283. It has a tropical climate. It also
have many possibilities for eco-tourism. There is a
beautiful botanical garden (MOUNTAIN BOTANICAL
GARDEN) in Daman which is one of the biggest and
oldest botanical garden in Nepal. It is just in the top of
mountain resort view tour (Botanical Garden Covers 15
hectares of land in jungle)

Objectives of the visit

 To study about different flora and fauna through
direct observation.
 To study about important medicinal herbs and their
uses.
Rationale of study
Field study is an essential part of Botany. The natural
environment i.e. the surrounding we all interact, the plants
in their natural habitat is one of the most interesting things
that is needed to be studied. Studies have indicated
towards the occurrence of rich plant biodiversity in
Makawanpur district. Thus, extensive botanical
explorations should be carried out in order to document as
well as update the biodiversity profile of the area. This
study was carried out to document the floristic diversity
of vascular plants from Daman.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
During the visit to the Daman Botanical garden, we used
materials like pen, biology's practical book, diary and
smart phones to note down the information about different
plant species. We collected some parts of the plants from
the study area. Those plants were identified by help of our
teacher and also by the helper in the botanical garden. We
also collected the information from the internet too.
We went to the garden by ourselves and
collected the first hand data and also researched about the
plants species in Nepal and found the use of them. To get
more information, we took the help of the published data
in internet. Hence, this report is the result of both primary
and secondary data collected by students of grade XI.
OBSERVATION
In Daman Botanical Garden, we observed different
species of plants by the guidance of our botany teacher
and the office helper. We collected some parts of the plant
too. During the study, we got to know about the
endangered plants and different species with their
medicinal valued and other uses. We observed about 189
plant species. Some of the plant species with their
medicinal properties are given below:
RECOMMENDATION
The mountain Botanical garden was 15 hectares of
forest. To the no botanist this is more of a woodland
walk than anything else & guides are available.
February to March is the best time to visit, when the
rhododendrons are in full bloomy, forming a nice
contrast with Himalaya back drop. Due to the lack of
time, we couldn't visit the plant. Individually as well
as the lack of staff on that garden made it difficult. If
there were more skilled manpower, it would be easy
to maintain the garden as well as to guide the visitors.
Which the development of the number of manpower
and making the garden's importance visible to
everyone we can conserve the rare floras. The extra
knowledge or information of scientific none of
different rare plants should be given.
Results
While observing in daman we observed many plants
species. In Daman Botanical garden, there were 100 plant
species under 163 general and 90 families. Altogether 136
vascular plant species were collected including 121
angiosperms (08 dicots and 23 monocots), 9
gymnosperms and 11 species of ferns and fern allies.
Among them (114 Dicots and 20 M. anocots), 134
phonerogama were recorded under 112 general and 05
families. Asteraceae were found to be the richest family
with 14 species among dicots and orchidaceae (85pp)
among monocots. In Daman Botanical Garden, there were
many medical plants like Timur, Bojo, Loth, oolla
(Himalayan yew), American aloe and as much others and
learn their scientific too. The plants like jasmine, rose, lily
plants were there which are use for making perfume and
trees which would be use for making furniture like.
Rationale of study
Field study is an essential part of Botany. The natural
environment is the surrounding where we all interact, the
pot plants in their natural habitat is one of the most
interesting things that is needed to be studied. Studies
have indicated towards the occurrence of rich plant
biodiversity in Makawanpur district. Thus, extensive
botanical exploration should be carried out in order to
