ABSTRACT-Floristic inventory and diversity assessment are necessary to understand the present diversity status of the conservation of biodiversity. Shorelines are one of the most rapidly changing places on the Earth. The Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) is a semi-enclosed coastal indentation with predominance of mangrove ecosystems, coral reefs, associated rich marine diversity and coastal terrestrial vegetation. Halophytes are flowering plants, which are naturally found in saline habitats such as coastal swamps, coastal dunes, inland salt flats etc. Present works reveals the diversity of halophytes in GoK. Total 27 halophytes were encountered from 13 coastal talukas and islands of GoK. Islands of GoK, and Bhachau taluka are the area with highest diversity in GoK. In the present study α diversity (Shannon diversity index, Simpson's Index, species richness, evenness index) of the halophyte community was studied. From the study of biodiversity it was observed that highest species diversity (Shannon-Wiener diversity H') was observed in Jamnagar district and its islands whereas species richness index (d) was highest in Devbhumi Dwarka district and its islands. Evenness index (e) was highest (0.528) in Morbi district.

“…It is also a common species on the margins of hurricane washover channels, disturbed roadsides, and tidal flats (Lonard and Judd 1997). In the tropics, the species occurs on estuarine mudflats adjacent to mangrove swamps (Joshi and Bhosale 1982), in salt marshes and on calcareous shorelines, on the margins of lagoons, on coral sand and rubble shorelines (Lonard and Judd 1997), also occurs along coasts and river mouths and in lower mountains (Hammer 2001).…”

Seapurslane, Sesuvium portulacastrum (L.) L. (Aizoaceae) is a pioneer, psammophytic facultative halophyte naturally growing in the subtropical, mediterranean, coastal and warmer zones of the world. The plant is utilized as a vegetable by the local peoples as well as forage for domestic animals in the coastal area. Environmentally, it is utilized for the bioreclamation of saline soil in the arid and semiarid regions and an alternative culture to problematic soils. The Sesuvium clones collected from the coastal regions of India lead to conclusions with respect to its geographical distribution and prospective utilization in the bioremediation of coastal and saline areas, as an emerging source of secondary metabolite-phytoecdysteroids in sericulture industry and cultivation on large scale for food as well as forage, of this underutilized, neglected wild and also cultivated plant species.

“…This may be due to its unusually restricted southern limit for mangrove Rhizophoraceae ; a range that appears to be confined to northeast Sumatra and northern Borneo (Tomlinson, 1986) . The known distribution of Kandelia includes the Ganges Delta (Tomlinson, 1986), western India (Joshi & Bhosale, 1982 ;Kotmire & Bhosale, 1985 ;Mulika & Bhosale, 1989) . Burma (Davis, 1964), through southeast Asia to south China (Lin & Wei, 1983), the Ryukyu Island and southern Japan (Nakasuga et al, 1974), Taiwan (Li et al ., 1975) and Hong Kong (Hodgkiss, 1986) .…”

Ecogeographic variation in the widely dispersed but relatively neglected mangrove Kandelia candel is examined and described in the geographically isolated populations of this species from Brunei (North Borneo), Hong Kong and Thailand . Morphological attributes of leaf and propagules are compared together with some observations on differential chill tolerance in transplants from Brunei and Thailand growing alongside the wild populations of Hong Kong . Significant differences indicative of ecotypicity were obtained in terms of leaf length and size, propagule length, width and dry weight and chill tolerance of established four year old saplings .
