Abstract

The current article evaluates the study of terrestrial orchids in the Hosanagara taluk of Shimogga district, reports a total of 30 terrestrial orchid species in the Hosanagara taluk region Shimogga district Karnataka from the period of January 2019-January 2022, and provides information on their distribution, phenology aspects, and biological status in the Hosanagara taluk of Shimogga district. Extensive field surveys were carried out periodically in different parts of the taluk, particularly in grasslands and hilly regions, to study the plant's diversity and phenological character. It was noticed that, when compared to other species, the Habenaria species is richly distributed in the Hosanagara taluk region. During field trips, some anthropogenic activities that have a significant impact on the diversity of terrestrial orchids were also observed. To learn more about the variety and current state of terrestrial orchid species in the Hosanagara taluk in the Shimogga District of Karnataka, further research must be conducted.
