The present study documents the diversity and ecological attributes of grass species (family Poaceae) recorded from Abheda Biological Park (ABP), Kota, Rajasthan. Floristic surveys conducted between July 2024 and December 2025 resulted in the documentation of 42 grass species. Species were evaluated based on life span (annual/perennial) and palatability, which are key indicators of grassland stability and forage potential. The dominance of palatable (65.8%) and perennial (53.6%) species suggests that ABP supports a productive and ecologically balanced grassland system. Herbarium specimens of selected taxa were prepared to ensure taxonomic accuracy and future reference. The study provides baseline information crucial for grassland management and conservation planning in southeastern Rajasthan.
