Leptophyll (26.60%) and ovate (18.91%) were found to be high in the leaf size spectrum and lamina. Biological spectrum shows the study area was classified as “thero-crypto-chamaephytic” type of phytoclimate. Poales (23.40%) and Poaceae (15.38%) were the dominant order and family in terms of species wealth. The study's floristic list revealed that the KST vegetation was diverse and composed of 277 species of 238 genera distributed over 77 families under 36 orders according to APG IV classification, of which 87 species were aliens. The present study was conducted to explore plant resources, their biological spectrum, leaf size spectrum, sacred grove conservation status, locally known as Kankabati Sitabala Than (KST) in the district of West Midnapore, West Bengal in India. Traditional cultural and religious beliefs and practices in the form of sacred groves play a crucial role in environmental conservation and biodiversity.
