摘　　要：Introduction:Urban flora is an important component of human-dominated ecosystems that links urban dwellers with nature.This study aims at compiling and analysing the alien and native vascular plant species of some selected habitats in the Srinagar city,Kashmir,India.Methods:Bi-seasonal sampling was employed and each habitat type(viz.,graveyards,grasslands,orchards and wastelands)was sampled at seven different sites.Results:The number of species recorded from graveyards was 96;from grasslands 112;141 from orchards and 110 from wastelands.The level of invasion among habitats varied from 67.27%to 68.75%,with a mean value of 67.86%;out of clubbed species list,64.84%were alien.Asteraceae,Poaceae,Brassicaceae and Fabaceae were the biggest families in all four habitat types.Conclusions:Our research shows that across habitats,alien plant species are the predominant part of their floras.
