Social practices play a crucial role in the conservation of the environment and biodiversity. The present study was carried out to explore the plant resources, their biological spectrum, leaf size spectra, conservation status and management of the existing vegetation of a sacred grove, namely Kalua Sarnd Than (KST) in the Jhargram district of West Bengal in India. Floristic elements of the study area revealed that the vegetation was diverse and composed of 150 species belonging to 141 genera distributed over 60 families under 31 orders according to APG IV classification. The study area being a sacred grove is fairly undisturbed and protection of germplasm in the grove is maintained through the traditional beliefs. The present study, thus, could be used as an inspiring example in India for other sacred groves for phytoclimatic study.
