Major associations /co dominance to Bentinckia condapanna in site -I were the evergreen species like Macaranga peltata, Elaeocarpus tuberculatus, Lannea coromandelica, Schefflera venulosa etc. and for site-II was the secondary species Chionanthus ramiflorus. Higher IVI values for Bentinckia condapanna in both the sites proves the capacity of this species to establish in mono-dominant and co- dominant communities.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/apjeesd.v1i1.9503">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/apjeesd.v1i1.9503</a></p><p>Asia Pacific Journal of Environment Ecology and Sustainable Development 2013; 1: 6-9</p> ER -
