Bijapur is the land of an ancient city. During the period of Chalukya’s of Kalyani it was known as Vijayapura (City of victory). The Bijapur district has an area of 10,541 km2. The district is found in association with barren rocky/stony wastes within notified forest boundaries with scrubs. The present botanical survey resulted in to 257 flowering plant species, (including cultivars) under 219 genera and 68 families. Among the total number of species, the leading families found in the campus are Poaceae, Fabaceae, Caesalpiniaceae. Among these, Salvia aegyptica L. is very rarely distributed and only confined to Bijapur district. Beside this, Indigofera hochstetteri Baker, was relocated in the campus. The floristic diversity information provides complete picture of different species available in various seasons and associated faunal diversity. Field observations indicated that the present study area is devoid of tall or big trees due to barren rocky/stony wastes land. Furthermore, based on present survey we are recommended that more number of tree/shrub species must be planted and it should be proper monitoring in future by concerned authorities.

Chapter Summaries
Chapter 1: Introduction: This chapter likely sets the stage for the study, providing background information on the Karnataka State Women's University campus in Bijapur, its geographical location, and the importance of documenting its plant life. It may also discuss the significance of biodiversity studies and the rationale behind undertaking this specific project, highlighting the research gap this study aims to fill. The introduction might include a brief overview of the expected findings and the overall structure of the study.
Chapter 2: Materials and Methods: This chapter details the methodology employed in conducting the study. It would describe the techniques used for plant collection, identification, and data analysis. This could involve specifics on the sampling strategy (e.g., quadrat sampling, transect sampling), the identification keys or resources used for species determination, and the statistical methods employed for data analysis. The chapter would also likely describe the period over which data was collected and the specific areas within the university campus that were surveyed.
Chapter 3: Results and Discussion: This chapter presents the findings of the study, likely including a comprehensive list of the identified flowering plant species, along with their abundance and distribution within the university campus. It would probably incorporate tables, figures, and/or photographs to visualize the data effectively. The discussion section would analyze the results, interpreting the patterns observed in species distribution, abundance, and diversity. This section might compare the findings with other similar studies conducted in the region and discuss the implications of the findings for conservation and campus management.
