There are more than 110 tree and 51 shrub species. The habitat is characterized by open meadows (chaurs) interspersed with sal and moist mixed deciduous forests. The grasslands are locally known as ‘Chaur’, which are an outcome of abandoned settlements or past clearings. There are several important chaurs abundant in wildlife: Dhikala, Phulai, Khinnanauli, Paterpani, Mohanpani, Bhadhai and Bijrani. Such grasslands constitute almost 20% of the old National Park area of the core. Owing to their anthropogenic origin, these meadows are gradually getting colonized by gregarious woody species. There are several old plantations of the sixties and seventies, which include species like teak, Eucalyptus, Ailanthus and sisso. However, such plantations are largely confined to the buffer area of the reserve. Several invasive weeds like Lantana and Cannabis are prevalent in the habitat.
